Following the highly anticipated discussion between Elon Musk and Donald Trump on Monday, Musk extended an invitation to Kamala Harris, Vice President and U.S. presidential candidate, for an interview. This move has attracted significant attention as the U.S. presidential election approaches. Musk’s offer to Harris appears to be a strategic attempt to counter any potential criticism from Democrats, who might accuse him and X of being overly supportive of cryptocurrency and aligned with Donald Trump.

Musk’s Invitation to Kamala Harris

Musk’s invitation to Kamala Harris comes on the heels of his recent dialogue with her rival, Donald Trump, which has stirred nationwide discussions against the backdrop of the ongoing campaigns.

In his post on X, Musk stated, “Happy to host Kamala on an X Spaces too,” despite Harris having previously criticized both Musk and Trump. Harris had harshly remarked, “Trump’s entire campaign is geared towards servicing people like Elon Musk and himself – wealthy, self-centered individuals who would abandon the middle class and struggle to run a live stream in 2024.”

The Democratic candidate has yet to respond to Musk’s offer, leaving her stance on the interview unclear. However, if Harris agrees to the conversation, discussions around Bitcoin and the broader cryptocurrency market are expected to surface, as these topics were notably absent from Trump’s recent interview with Musk, despite both Trump and Musk’s pro-crypto positions. The crypto community, in particular, is eager for such discussions, as the U.S. remains in a state of uncertainty following recent market developments.

Trump’s Attack on the Biden Administration

In the interview with Musk, the two discussed almost everything inflation, trade, nuclear power, and education. Trump blamed the Biden administration for its handling of inflation, declaring that “people have been utterly devastated” by the rising costs. “We must bring prices down,” he asserted.

Musk Envisions Role in Trump Administration

Having served on the White House advisory council during Trump’s previous term, Elon Musk has now proposed a potential role for himself in a future Trump administration. He suggested the formation of a “government efficiency commission” and expressed his eagerness to contribute to it. “I’d be happy to assist with such a commission — I’d love to see it established,” Musk stated, a sentiment that Trump welcomed with enthusiasm. It’s worth noting that Musk previously resigned from his advisory role due to Trump’s decision to withdraw from the Paris Climate Accord.

Musk’s relationship with Trump has recently strengthened, especially as he advises on electric vehicle and cryptocurrency policies. This comes in contrast to Musk’s dissatisfaction with the Biden administration’s stance on EVs, unions, taxes, and immigration. Additionally, the ongoing battles between the SEC and the crypto industry have escalated in 2024, with major players like Coinbase calling for greater transparency and criticizing regulatory overreach.

Interview with Trump Reaches 1 Billion Views Across Platforms

The recent interview with Donald Trump is reported to have reached 1 billion views across X and other platforms. According to a post by Musk, ‘The combined views of the conversation with @realDonaldTrump and the subsequent discussions by other accounts are now approximately 1 billion.’ Meanwhile, Musk’s invitation to Kamala Harris has sparked excitement within the crypto community, with speculation about whether the debate will center around cryptocurrency.

Harris is Ahead In Recent Surveys

Despite Trump’s pro-crypto stance and support from prominent pro-crypto personalities, the political landscape seems to be shifting in favor of the Democratic presidential candidate, according to recent Polymarket data. The Democratic VP’s chances of winning stand at 52%, while Trump’s are at 45%. Similarly, a recent NY Times poll shows the Democratic candidate with a 48% chance of victory, compared to Trump’s 47%. This data has sparked nationwide speculation, suggesting a possible challenge for Trump despite his support for cryptocurrency.

In addition, pro-Bitcoin advocate and Trump supporter Vivek Ramaswamy has recently urged Kamala Harris to adopt a pro-crypto position. Overall, Musk’s interview continues to captivate the United States as it could significantly influence national sentiment amidst the ongoing presidential elections.
