The Trump team expresses outrage following the disastrous interview with Elon Musk
Following Donald Trump‘s unusual livestreamed Elon Musk interview on Monday evening, Kamala Harris‘s campaign issued a sharp statement that resonated strongly with the Trump team.
The statement highlighted the issues encountered during the livestream, along with Trump’s radical views and his connection to the widely condemned Project 2025. In reaction, Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung referred to the Harris campaign as “f****ing cowards.”
All these statements, yet nobody ever puts their name on them.

Fucking cowards. https://t.co/X5Xdp2gQLo
Steven Cheung @TheStevenCheung All these statements, yet nobody ever puts their name on them. Fucking cowards.
The statement indicates that the Trump team is probably seething in private following a disastrous interview on X. During the moments when the interview was free from technical issues and Trump was not slurring his speech, the former president made a series of outrageous claims. Trump expressed his willingness to embrace climate change, believing it would result in “more oceanfront property” for him, commended Musk for dismissing striking employees, and suggested to Musk that “if something occurs with this election, which would be a nightmare, we’ll convene next in Venezuela, as it would be a much safer location than our own country.”
On Monday, Trump returned to X, presumably to assist in promoting the livestream, having posted only once in the three years following his ban from the platform in January 2021 due to his role in inciting violence during the Capitol insurrection. Musk played a significant role in facilitating Trump’s return by promoting new advertisements from Trump on the platform and amplifying the hashtag #TrumpIsOnX in anticipation of the interview.
The posts made by Trump on X have negatively impacted his social media enterprise, Trump Media & Technology, which experienced a significant decline in its share price following the former president‘s return to the platform that had previously banned him over three years ago. However, Trump appears to be in a state of desperation as he witnesses his polling lead diminish with Joe Biden’s decision to withdraw from the 2024 election and Kamala Harris’s rise in prominence.
The Harris campaign has seen a remarkable surge in popularity over the past month, further enhanced by her selection of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate. Individuals within Trump’s circle are expressing concern regarding the campaign’s strategy for 2024, and Trump himself is reportedly distressed by the success of the Harris campaign. Cheung’s reaction indicates that even those closest to Trump are becoming increasingly unsettled.
