Elon Musk weighs in on Donald Trump and Tucker Carlson interview, says it was 'interesting to hear things directly'

Elon Musk followed the 'Tucker on X' interview of former Presiden Donald Trump and left his reply under the video

MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN: The founder of Tesla and Space X, Elon Musk, was surprisingly taken aback by former President Donald Trump being interviewed by Tucker Carlson instead of attending the debate in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and he made sure to share his perspectives. 

The 52-year-old billionaire left his reply under the video posted on X (formerly Twitter) by the political commentator, in which Carlson can be heard saying, "It’s debate night but we’re not in Milwaukee" as former President Trump stood by him smirking.

During the interview, Donald Trump expressed that he wasn’t at the Fox News debate because he was "ahead in the polls" and "didn’t want to be harassed by people who shouldn’t run for Presidency."

Interestingly, Trump also stated that Fox News wasn't "particularly" friendly to him, adding that the debate was unfair to Ron DeSantis, just like it was to him back in 2016. 

Elon Musk was pleased to hear things 'directly' from former President Donald Trump

Elon Musk seems to have liked the fact that former POTUS agreed to be interviewed by the recently expulsed Fox News host Tucker Carlson on the GOP debate night. 

Musk replied under Carlson’s video, writing, "Interesting to hear things directly vs through the media filter," suggesting that most viewpoints get lost in the noise of the TV debates. 

Elon Musk’s response to Tucker Carlson and Donald Trump interview receives support from netizens 

Elon’s tweet received a massive response from netizens, with some even mentioning that it would obliterate Trump and Carlson’s interview would obliterate Fox News. 

One user wrote, "Thanks, Elon, for giving the candidates time to express their views. An informed voter is a smart voter," while another said, "Wouldn't be possible without X!" thanking Musk for providing a platform to host 'Tucker on X'. 

"Wild this post already has almost a 95million views. I wonder how many people watched the TV debates? indeed, X is the place to be," expressed one, highlighting the views gathered by Carlson's video. 

"How does it feel to see history being made in your platform?" added another, with a user stating, "I’m on Cloud 9. Watching Trump and Tucker on 𝕏 tonight was sublime. Then I tune over to the Fox debate and it’s CHAOS, like fingernails on a chalkboard, kindergartners screaming on the playground."
