📣 Trump's Interview with Musk: Bacon Prices In, Bitcoin Out
posted 13 Aug 2024
During a three-hour talk, slightly delayed by a suspected DDoS attack, Trump covered topics like bacon prices, his views on immigration, and other expected narratives but left out digital assets.
Musk played safe, avoiding tough questions and not challenging Trump's misleading statements about U.S. crime stats and nuclear states. The billionaire even expressed his willingness to join Trump's administration if he wins the presidential election.
Polymarket users who bet on the words "crypto" and "bitcoin" being mentioned during the interview lost about $1.3 million. However, bets on the words "MAGA," "tampon," and "illegal immigrant" were successful.
According to X, the interview pulled in 19.1 million listeners.
Interestingly, Trump was tagged as the host and Musk as the co-host in the broadcast interface.
