On Monday, August 12, Donald Trump and Elon Musk engaged in a nearly two-hour interview on X. The conversation’s virality was extraordinary, surpassing one billion views on the platform. Seth Dillon, CEO of the Babylon Bee, and Danielle D’Souza Gill, member of the advisory board for Women for Trump, joined “Blaze News Tonight’s” Jill Savage to discuss the key moments from the interview.
“What were your biggest takeaways from the big conversation that happened last night?” Jill asks Dillon.
“I think it was a really interesting and wide-ranging conversation that allowed people to just kind of see who Trump is and what he thinks and why he believes what he believes without all of the gotcha questions,” Dillon remarked, also noting his appreciation for Musk’s impartiality. “Elon wasn’t trying to make [Trump] sound like a monster, and I also didn’t get the impression that Elon was trying to sell Trump to us. He was just trying to have a conversation with him,” he explains.
Jill then shares a notable moment from the interview where Trump emphasizes his ambition “to bring the American dream back.” “They want the American dream back,” Trump stated, emphasizing that this concern was “more important than anything else” to the American people.
Dillon fully agrees, saying, “I think he’s right. You know, the American people are struggling right now, and they want to hear about a path to a brighter future. They want to see the restoration of the American dream. I think that’s absolutely true.”
As expected, the mainstream media, closely aligned with the Democratic Party, is attempting to downplay the interview’s impact. “It got a lot more attention than the media wants us to think that it did,” says Dillon. “They try to act like it was just this nothing thing that had technical difficulties and no one was really tuning in or listening to it.”
And he’s correct. A quick Google search reveals numerous mainstream outlets disputing the interview’s popularity and citing technical issues. Additionally, the media used the opportunity to criticize and misrepresent Trump. They labeled him as “meandering” and “boring” (MSNBC), suggested the interview was aimed at “shoring up the white male base” (Washington Post), and accused him of “[rambling]” and “[slurring]” his way through the discussion (USAToday).
It’s challenging to find any positive coverage of the interview — a clear example of widespread media bias and censorship.
