Following a headline-grabbing interview with Donald Trump on his platform X, Elon Musk extended an invitation to Kamala Harris for a live conversation as the U.S. election approaches. Musk’s invitation came after Harris’s campaign criticized the Trump interview, dismissing it as “whatever that was” and labeling Musk a “self-obsessed rich guy” aligned with Team MAGA.
Musk, unfazed by the backlash, tweeted, “Happy to host Kamala on an X Spaces too,” prompting speculation on whether Harris would accept the challenge. Notably, the vice president hasn’t held an interview in over three weeks, further fueling curiosity.
The Trump-Musk interview, which attracted over 16.4 million live viewers, saw Trump hurling harsh criticism at Harris, calling her a “third-rate phoney candidate” and “more incompetent” than President Joe Biden. He boldly claimed that Harris would never agree to a similar interview with Musk, suggesting only he could have pulled it off.
Harris’s campaign responded aggressively, accusing Musk of trying to “seize control of our democracy” by providing a platform for Trump’s “unhinged and hateful agenda.” The campaign also used the opportunity to rally supporters, sending fundraising emails and calling for donations to counter Musk’s influence.
As Musk’s invitation to Harris remains unanswered, the exchange underscores the escalating tensions between the tech mogul and the Democratic camp, with the election looming ever closer. The political spotlight now shifts to whether Harris will engage with Musk on his controversial platform or continue to distance herself.
