'Self-Obsessed Rich Guys': Harris Campaign Goes On Unhinged Rant After Trump-Musk Conversation

After a record-breaking conversation between Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump and X owner Elon Musk on Monday night, the Kamala Harris campaign released a ludicrous statement condemning the two-hour discussion and bashing both men as "self-obsessed rich guys."

"Donald Trump's extremism and dangerous Project 2025 agenda is a feature, not a glitch, of his campaign, which was on full display for those unlucky enough to listen in tonight during whatever that was on X.com," the Harris campaign said in a statement. "Trump's entire campaign is in service of people like Elon Musk and himself - self-obsessed rich guys who will sell out the middle class and who cannot run a livestream in the year 2024."

In addition to the campaign statement, the campaign also sent an email to supporters arguing that the conversation was spreading "Trump's unhinged and hateful agenda" and claimed that "The richest person in the world is a lackey for Team MAGA."

"Musk already ruined Twitter by allowing hate speech and disinformation to flood the platform," the campaign email reads. "Now, Musk is using his vast fortune and broad reach to try to control our democracy."

Despite the Harris campaign's best efforts to malign the event, Trump's recording of the conversation has been actively listened to by 24.1 million users and seen by 187 million. The post has received 325,000 comments, 152,000 reposts, and 597,000 likes.

"An all-time record, but the media refuses to write about it because they are FAKE NEWS!" Trump wrote in response to the success of the stream. Musk also commented on the much-watched discussion, writing, "Combined views of the conversation with [Donald Trump] and subsequent discussion by other accounts now ~1 billion."

The conversation between the two men was delayed nearly an hour past its scheduled start time of 8 PM EST, thanks to a cyberattack on the social media network's servers. "My apologies for the late start. We, unfortunately, had a massive denial-of-service attack against our servers, and it saturated all of our data lines. Basically, hundreds of gigabytes of data were saturated," Musk explained, adding, "As this massive attack illustrates, there is a lot of opposition to people hearing what President Trump has to say."

The X Spaces discussion was wide-ranging and covered a wide range of issues, from the state of the race against Kamala Harris to the southern border, inflation, solar and nuclear power, electric vehicles, and much more. The billionaire tech entrepreneur repeatedly praised Trump for his first-term leadership and called on independent voters to back the 45th president.

"I think we're at a fork in the road of the destiny of civilization, and I think we need to take the right path, and I think you're the right path," Musk said. "I think you [Trump] are the path to prosperity, and I think that Kamala is the opposite."
