Politico reports:
Musk on occasion tried to steer Trump into more broadly appealing territory, suggesting that not all illegal immigrants are criminals or mentally ill; that climate change is not in fact a hoax, even if oil-and-gas companies get blamed unfairly for it; and that Trump would do well to create a blue-ribbon commission on government efficiency.
Trump instead returned to his usual hobby-horses. And while he attacked Harris throughout the 125-minute conversation, he rarely did so in any disciplined way.
The most sustained salvo came more than an hour into the conversation after a discussion of the relative risks of nuclear energy (fallout is “not as scary as people think,” Musk said) and a Trump riff on his court cases and Biden’s physical condition (“I looked at him today on the beach … The guy could barely walk”).

Musk: “Hiroshima and Nagasaki were bombed but now they’re full cities again.”
Trump: “That’s great. That’s great.”
Musk: “Yeah so it’s not as scary as people think.”— Quinn Slobodian (@zeithistoriker) August 13, 2024
Another great moment
Musk: it’s not even dangerous in Fukushima. I actually flew there and ate locally grown vegetables on TV to prove it.
Trump: Yeah, but you haven’t been feeling so well lately and I’m worried about it.

~70,000 in Hiroshima were vaporized, crushed, burned or irradiated to death almost immediately. (As many as 280,000 were dead, many from radiation sickness, by the end of the year.) As many as 70,000 died in Nagasaki, three days later. https://t.co/xBOAYav6K5 https://t.co/SWCmCEOqTF pic.twitter.com/ndAtVPAOqB
