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?
I give it a 10. The whole purpose of this was to show Trump carrying on an extemporaneous conversation for an hour or more. This stands in stark contrast to anything Harris could handle.
Great response and points!
