Over 60 million people tuned in, Musk held a lecture for Trump

Editor's note:

This morning, Musk and former US President Donald Trump had a Space conversation on the X platform. The conversation lasted for more than two hours. The X interface showed that there were up to 1.2 million people online, while Musk said in Space that there were more than 60 million people listening. Space has a limit on the number of people displayed.

During the conversation, because Musk has always habitually responded to Trump with "yeah", the market value of the newly launched meme coin YEAH exceeded 2 million US dollars in 20 minutes, but then fell rapidly.

In this Space, Musk first explained that Twitter had suffered a large-scale server network attack, and then started talking about Trump's assassination attempt, and talked about various social and political issues such as illegal immigration, border security, economic challenges, and global security. The conversation did not mention the development of the cryptocurrency industry, but talked about the need for the current US government to pay more attention to the artificial intelligence industry. BlockBeats briefly summarizes the key points of the Space conversation as follows:

Trump talks about assassinations

Trump described in detail an assassination attempt he had experienced, calling the experience both unpleasant and surreal. At the time, his ear was injured and bleeding a lot, but in that case, the injury was the best result. What saved him from the fatal blow was an "illegal immigrant chart". When the bullet was fired, he turned his head because he looked at this chart, avoiding more serious injuries. This chart is usually only used at the end of the speech, but this time it was placed on the right side at the beginning of the speech and unexpectedly saved his life.

A Secret Service sniper killed the gunman from about 400 yards away. However, poor coordination between local police and security forces allowed the gunman to get on the roof, posing a safety hazard. Despite this, the Secret Service acted very bravely, and an agent jumped on Trump to protect him at a critical moment, ensuring his safety. At the same time, there was no chaos such as trampling among the crowd at the scene, which is very rare in similar incidents.

Immigration issues

Trump said that during his term, the number of illegal immigrants reached a historic low, thanks to effective policies such as "Remain in Mexico" and "Catch and Release in Mexico". However, the current government has canceled these policies, resulting in a surge in the number of illegal immigrants, posing a threat to the security of the United States. Trump emphasized the need to support legal immigration and close illegal immigration channels, criticizing the current government for not being tough enough on border security and allowing uninspected illegal immigrants to enter the United States, which in turn triggered a series of crime problems. Trump also said that some countries, such as Venezuela, even send criminals to the United States to reduce the pressure of crime in their country.

Through personal observation at Eagle Pass, Texas, Trump witnessed a large number of immigrants crossing the border, many of whom looked unfriendly and came from all over the world, not just Mexico. He warned that opening the border could lead to an influx of up to 50 million to 60 million immigrants, which would be unsustainable for the United States.

To deal with the problem of illegal immigration, Trump announced the largest deportation plan in U.S. history and said that some countries are currently sending unproductive populations and criminals to the United States. In addition, Trump criticized the incompetence of the current Democratic leaders, believing that they have failed to form an effective deterrent against global dictators, leading to a series of global problems. Trump stressed that maintaining good relations with global leaders such as Putin and Kim Jong-un is essential to maintaining global stability.

U.S. Economic Problems

Trump said that the United States is currently facing severe economic challenges, including a significant increase in inflation and a sharp rise in energy prices, which have made it difficult for many families to afford their daily living expenses. He blamed these economic difficulties on the policies of the current government, especially its unsustainable energy policies, which he believed exacerbated the current economic difficulties.

In terms of national defense and government efficiency, Trump emphasized the reconstruction of the military during his tenure, believing that it was the key to ensuring national security. He mentioned that he had negotiated to cut the cost of Air Force One by $1.6 billion, and advocated the establishment of a government efficiency committee to ensure that taxpayers' funds were used reasonably. In addition, he criticized the current government's excessive spending and lack of wise regulatory management, believing that these were the main causes of inflation.

Trump also proposed a series of countermeasures, including reducing energy prices by increasing oil extraction, and warned that the current government was not well prepared to cope with the energy needs brought about by the development of artificial intelligence. He also called for continued deregulation and the reduction of unnecessary regulations, while reforming the education system and transferring control of education to the states to improve the quality and efficiency of education. These measures, he believed, were essential to promoting economic recovery.

Energy Issues

Trump also addressed climate change, on which he took a moderate stance, advocating for a push for sustainable energy without demonizing the oil and gas industry, while recognizing the need for fossil fuels. He argued that nuclear energy was underrated as a safe source of electricity and worthy of reconsideration, while nuclear proliferation was a major concern that required strong leadership to prevent. Regarding the Fukushima nuclear accident, Trump said California's concerns about nuclear safety were overblown and mentioned donating a solar-powered water treatment system to Fukushima to support nuclear safety improvements.

Current Administration

Trump criticized the performance of the current government in many aspects. He accused the Biden administration of using legal proceedings and local prosecutors to carry out unprecedented suppression of political opponents, and expressed concerns about Biden's physical and mental health, while criticizing Kamala Harris's extreme left policies and past records. He also said that the EU took advantage of the United States in trade and that the United States bore a disproportionate amount of costs in NATO, and discussed the situation in Ukraine and financial contributions.

In terms of technological progress, Trump mentioned potential projects such as moon bases, Mars missions, and urban high-speed connections, while emphasizing the progress of the Las Vegas tunnel project and the need for advanced transportation systems. He also discussed regulatory reforms, criticized the FDA's drug approval process for being too slow, and emphasized the success of the "right to try" legislation.

Trump also criticized the current security and crime situation in the United States, blaming riots and immigrant crimes for making people feel unsafe, and said that violent criminals were often released without bail, while he himself was prosecuted. He believes that this injustice has also led to New York losing businesses.
