Talk between Musk and Trump: biased, with lies and misinformation

Musk and Trump
The conversation between Musk and Trump held on Monday, August 12, was carried out with many technical errors and a speech without foundations. Musk assured that he would show a different side of Trump, carrying out an intimate conversation and not with the formality of a traditional rally or interview, however, much was left unfulfilled.

Listen to this note:

 

The conversation between Donald Trump and the tech mogul Elon Musk held this Monday, August 12, was carried out with many technical errors and a speech without foundation, where the Republican candidate for the presidency of the United States assured that the immigrants who arrive in this country come, for the most part, from prisons and mental institutions.

With a 35-minute delay due to technical glitches, the "friendly chat" between Trump and Musk began. The two spoke for more than two hours and had an audience of approximately 2.1 million people, not the 8 million that Musk had expected, and for which, he assured, the platform was ready.

Musk claimed to show a different side of Trump, carrying out an intimate conversation and not with the formality of a traditional rally or interview, however, much was left unfulfilled, since the speech was the same, without deviating from the line and his character, Trump unsheathed against some sectors of the population.

The Republican presidential candidate commented on the strike by Musk's company X (formerly Twitter) workers and applauded his dismissal; in addition, during the conversation, the impact of climate change and social issues were denied. There was little to report.

The space could not be wasted to return to a topic that is already obligatory in Trump's speech: illegal immigration, pointing out right and left that "They come from Rica, from Asia, from the Middle East and South America. (…) In Venezuela and other countries, the number of criminals has decreased by 50 to 80 percent because they have gotten rid of all their bad people (…). They are criminals who make our criminals look like good people."

He added that people who enter the country illegally are "unproductive."
