Musk: Podcast Interviews Showed Trump As “Normal”

The Hill reports:

Tech billionaire Elon Musk attributed Trump’s election victory, at least in part, to the lengthy podcast interviews he did during the campaign. In an interview with Tucker Carlson, Musk said Trump’s podcast appearances showed the American public that he was a “normal person.”

“This is why I posted on X, like, nothing would do more damage to Kamala’s campaign than going on Joe Rogan, because she’d run out of non sequiturs after about 45 minutes,” Musk said.

“Two and three hours would be a complete melted puddle of nonsense. So, it would just be absolute game over. That’s why she didn’t go on. But, on the other hand, Trump, he’s there, there’s no talking points. He’s just being a normal person, having a conversation and doing three hours of Rogan, no problem.”
