If you caught Elon Musk’s interview with Donald Trump Monday night, you know it was two hours of unfiltered conversation on a wide range of topics — the border, Kamala Harris’s record, energy, foreign policy, and so on. Trump even said he’d like to eliminate the Department of Education and return control of education to the states — an incredibly bold policy position, if you ask me.
The media naturally pooh-poohed the live discussion:

Sure, the media liked to focus on the problems that delayed it from starting, but, overall, it was a huge success.

As you can imagine, the Kamala Harris campaign wasn’t happy with Donald Trump having a platform to speak, and promptly used the event as a fundraising pitch, all while tossing out some unhinged accusations.
