Show Notes
Elon Musk's live interview with Donald Trump's caught people's attention, but not for the reason he'd hoped.
The conversation had a bumpy start after a 40-minute delay due to technical difficulties on X.
It's being labelled a high-profile embarrassment for the billionaire, whose platform's faced multiple outages since he took over.
Last year, former candidate Ron DeSantis faced a similar server meltdown launching his campaign.
US correspondent Richard Arnold told Mike Hosking once it got going, it was hardly an interview, with Musk having already endorsed Trump.
He says the audio quality was so bad that some listeners reported hearing Trump slurring and talking with a lisp.
