I am going to give it a * STRONG 8.5 and I think it got better as it went on.*
It seemed like Elon had to get used to Trump's speed and calm himself during those 10-12 minute replies, and all the (EUREKA!) moments Trump has where during Musk's responses he hears another topic he can comment on and tries to push into it immediately.
Trump was aggressive at the onset and calmed down as the interview went on, some of the better moments from him were towards the conclusion of the interview I thought. I enjoyed how gracious he was toward his host, you could see how the many anecdotes where they mention that quality of his are really true without any stretching.
What are your grades and thoughts friends?
8.5-9 I agree. It was nice to listen to this with no gotcha agendas at play. I'm sure Trump was anticipating some of that at the beginning. When was the last time he was not taking fire from the interviewer?
Same. Both of them have a non standard way of talking which is a little distracting. We know the scoop with Elon. Trump has a smart people talk issue. When smart people talk to each other all the time, the words are choppy and the sentences are truncated. That is because the other guy is filling in all the blanks. Saying all the words makes smart people bored or anxious to get to what they want to say. Trump has been working on that and is much better.
Someone I was talking to about President Trump’s speaking is it’s a NYC style… stream of consciousness…that a lot of people find distracting.
A simple bit of patience and it’s fine to listen to. Those with 144 character minds have issues…about this and so many other things.
