Harris campaign mocks Trump, Musk as ‘self-obsessed rich guys … who cannot run a livestream’

Vice President Harris’s campaign responded to former President Trump’s interview with Elon Musk Monday, calling them “self-obsessed rich guys” and jabbing them over their livestream issues.
“Trump’s entire campaign is in service of people like Elon Musk and himself — self-obsessed rich guys who will sell out the middle class and who cannot run a livestream in the year 2024,” the campaign wrote in an official statement after the Monday night interview, which was streamed on social media platform X’s Spaces.
Throughout the interview, which was delayed by about 45 minutes due to technical issues, the Harris campaign captured short soundbites and posted them to its rapid response page.
The campaign hit Trump for saying global warming and rising sea levels would produce “more oceanfront property” and claiming the issue is not as big a problem as “nuclear warming.” The campaign posted a clip of Trump praising Musk, the owner of X, for firing workers when they went on strike.
The campaign also posted a soundbite of the former president saying that, if elected in November, one of the first things he would do is close up the Department of Education — a policy outlined in the conservative Project 2025 agenda.
“Donald Trump extremism and dangerous Project 2025 agenda is a feature not a glitch of his campaign, which was on full display for those unlucky enough to listen in tonight during whatever that was on X.com,” the Harris campaign wrote in its statement.
