Flying Squid@lemmy.world to News@lemmy.world – 125 points – Donald Trump is returning to X for a live interview with the platform's owner, Elon Musk

Tonight at 8 pm, sprung on everyone at the last minute apparently.

Trump and Elon Musk, X’s owner, are slated to have what the tech titan has termed a “live conversation” at 8 p.m. Eastern Time that will be “unscripted with no limits on subject matter, so should be highly entertaining!” Musk is soliciting X users to pose their own questions.

Will Trump DeSantis himself? I hope so.

A bigot nepo kid hosts a wierd sexist fascist convicted felon with tiny hands. Caveat is, that both are big fans of each other so there won't be any hardball questions, maybe they suck each others dick?

No hardball questions? Maybe. How racist will they get though?

Not just that. Hopefully someone watches and keeps a running score of how many times they disparage “others”!

I don't think I'll add to Twitter's view count, I'll just read what I am sure will be an extremely unintentionally funny summary tomorrow morning.

They are even bigger fans of themselves.

If we're lucky, one insults the other and they begin a shouting match live.

Oh boy.

Anyone know the odds the hard N-word will be spoken by these asshats.

Right? I was thinking the same thing. Two white guys as bigoted, misogynistic and queerphobic as you can get sit down for an unscripted conversation?

I'll almost be disappointed if there are no slurs.

They control the platform so they'll edit them out and gaslight anyone who happened to see it

That won't work. They can't stop people from recording it live.

The thing about the internet is- stuff doesn't go away even if you want it to.

Well, depends on how hard someone wants to keep it at least. Without organizations like Internet Archive backing up as much as they can, a lot of the internet would end up permanently lost when sites go down or content migrates hosts and breaks all the old links.

Something tells me Trump making an idiot of himself live on Xitter won't be quite as volatile, though. Or at least not in that way.

Every big news organization will be recording this video just in case something newsworthy happens. Along with a bunch of people who will post those clips on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, you name it.

They will just not be able to make something like this go away if it goes south.

Doesn't seem to stop them from pretending half the time, but I hope you're right

As a natural pessimist, I am trying very hard lately to not give up hope on things.

This is very dangerous.

That much malignant narcissism in one place could form a singularity and an ensuing black hole.

I've heard, when that happens; The narcissists head goes so far up their own ass, they fold in on themselves. The resultant matter is highly dense and caustic, yet still somehow capable of language. Trump and Elon have both crossed the event horizon multiple times already. Perhaps with the two feeding each other, their heads will fold into each other's asses. Scientists are eagerly observing...

There must be some way to harness the energy of this sort of narcissism to solve our global power needs.

Brown holes, lots of rim jobs and circle jerks too.

You'd think, but that probably won't happen unless one of them recognizes and accepts that they're much lower-status then the other.

Narcissists don't do well in groups, especially when they're all roughly equivalent status. There's a ridiculous amount of infighting and posturing as they try to establish dominance over each other.

Watch Musk or Trump when they have to deal with something who reality requires them to defer to (eg, like Xi or Putin). They look almost depressed and broken, because in a very real way, they are.

What you're describing happens when a sycophant praises a narcissist, or when a narcissist is drunk on praise from a sycophant. That's when the rhetorical fellatio really kicks into high gear; when the narcissist is getting high on supply.

hey y'all, where can I watch this? on xvideos.com? 😏

It'll be difficult to fap to but I like a challenge.

One time, as a young man, I drank so much that I threw up, a lot. Like kept throwing up and then there were the dry heaves.

Watching a moment of these two felating each other would immediately skip me straight to the dry heaves. 🤢

A listener in Ohio wants to know if they ever shared a child on Epstein island.

Elon is just saying "yeah" to everything. 😂

E: Boy Elon doesn't understand shit about economics. E2: Elon's problem with CO2 is that at some point it will get uncomfortable to breathe. Somewhere around 1000 would be bad. It's not like the house is on fire. 🤦🤦‍♀️🤦‍♂️

Every day he outs himself as more of an insufferable dumbass. These two were made for each other.

This could be cringeworthy.

It could also be chargeworthy. I'd say there's at least a notable chance someone conffeses to something when you two corrupt criminal egomaniacs with invincibility complexes together live

This gon b gud

My money says it's scripted/pre recorded. No way they let the goblin do his thing when they own the platform

Never underestimate two extremely stupid people.

And if Trump wants to go off-script, no one can stop him. That's been proven repeatedly.

Hence maybe pre recording, it would be very easy to do

Elon: Argentina is getting prosperity after Milei's cuts.
