Listen "Elon Musk Brands Biden-Trump Debate as Setup to Replace Joe Biden"

Episode Synopsis

Elon Musk, the CEO of prominent corporations Tesla, Starlink, and SpaceX, seems to be under the impression that the recent debate between current President Joe Biden and his predecessor, Donald Trump, was more of a theatrical play than a serious political event. Musk voiced his observations on the X platform shortly after the debate, adding his commentary to a post made by billionaire investor David Sacks. He described the presidential contenders as 'talking puppets' and expressed skepticism over the authenticity of the debate. David Sacks originally commented on the debate by criticizing CNN commentators for their apparent lack of loyalty and remorse towards the president. Responding to the commentator’s portrayal of Biden, Sacks posted, 'The sight of CNN commentators backstabbing Biden really leaves a distaste. There is no sense of loyalty, nor a hint of remorse. This is simply revolting.' 'This race between Biden and Trump isn't a nail-biter anymore', remarked Larry Sabato, Director at the University of Virginia Center for Politics, during a CNN slot the following day. He ruled out the chances of Biden narrowing the gap with Trump by merely participating in an interview with ABC News or conducting a series of rallies. According to Sabato, President Biden's singular interview isn't enough to amend the situation. His words were clear, 'If anything, [President Biden] should aim to arrest the decline, which has indeed been pretty severe. We have been through several amounts of data, both public and confidential, and it's quite alarming. The Democrats must realize that we're not on steady ground and the race is anything but a close one now. The competition between Trump and Biden has ended.'See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
