The Musk-Trump Twitter Spaces Was Bonkerstown Crazy

By Red Painter — August 13, 2024

Guys. GUYS. GUYSSSS.

The Elon Musk/Donald Trump Twitter Spaces event was insane. It started late due to a fake DDOS attack and ended with Trump slurring his face off to the point where people (me included) questioned whether he had any teeth in his mouth. Not joking at all.

Ok, here was the rocky start:

I have now tried to enter the Donald Trump Space through the twitter homepage, Trump's page, and Elon's page. None of the options work.

let's not put people who can't figure out how to freakin' live stream an interview in year of our lord 2024 in charge of the nuclear arsenal

I get the whole “Twitter Blackout” sounds like a fun protest but why miss the hilarity of yet another Elon train wreck for a candidate. The guy is like the Zodiac Killer of campaigns.

Me being fooled once thinking Twitter spaces would work for DeSantis presedential announcement: shame on you

Me being fooled twice thinking Twitter spaces would work for Trump’s Elon interview: shame on me

There appears to be a massive DDOS attack on 𝕏. Working on shutting it down.

Worst case, we will proceed with a smaller number of live listeners and post the conversation later.

Then, when people finally got on, everyone was talking about Trump's weird way of talking. Either marbles in his mouth or he took his dentures out. Maybe he saw a dentist and his whole face is numb? I have to say, it was JARRING.

LISTEN HERE:

I will just point out as you hear him slurring and lisping, as he is doing throughout this interview, that Candyman Ronny Jackson just took the trip all the way up to Montana to see Trump a couple days ago. (Audio only) pic.twitter.com/S2JgPJSonS

If Joe Biden came out and started slurring this bad, the entire press would be asking KJP tomorrow if he had some medical condition.

Will they be as interested in his health as they were in Biden's? 🤷 pic.twitter.com/i90QPON5Nu

There is absolutely zero new in this discussion that you didn't expect from Trump or Musk, but Trump's lisping and slushing is getting worse and I just can't stop being an audio rubbernecker

Trump slurring his words on Musks Thpaces. #DentureDon

Trump is slurring his words, and is unable to clearly enunciate S-words, in unusually messy ways during this Musk interview. He had trouble hearing at the NABJ convention and at his Mar-a-Lago presser. He has declined and aged noticeably over the last year.

Trump campaign response:

I asked the Trump campaign why the coup-attempting criminal former president is slurring his words and lisping. The campaign's response: pic.twitter.com/M2H6hLFFyJ

This Trump interview is a complete disaster. He’s incoherent, he’s slurring his words, and he can’t even stay on track. This is not a man who should have access to the nuclear codes. He continues to be a threat to national security.

Harris-Walz spokesman Joseph Costello sent out a statement afterward: “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. 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.”

I am dead ass serious, something is MEDICALLY wrong with Donald Trump. Did he have a stroke? He did not sound like at his rally a few days ago.

Update: It did not go well, unless you’re running a parody account like the one below.
