According to reports, the interview was heard live by around 16 million on the X platform.

“Between 7:47 PM and 10:47 PM ET, President Donald Trump’s Space post received 73 million views. During the same period, there were 4 million posts about Elon Musk and President Trump’s conversation on X, generating a total of 998 million views,” he added.
The interview was far-reaching with Musk and Trump speaking about the future of energy and artificial intelligence, the major failures of the Biden border policies, crime, the economy. foreign policy, Russia’s war against Ukraine, North Korea, and a host of other issues.
