Elon Musk Attributes Trump's Election Victory to Podcast Appearances

Musk believes Trump's informal podcast interviews helped voters perceive him as a relatable and 'normal person.'

  • Elon Musk discussed Trump's successful presidential campaign during an interview with Tucker Carlson, crediting podcast appearances for Trump's relatable image.
  • Trump's participation in long-form podcasts like 'The Joe Rogan Experience' allowed voters to see him without scripted talking points, according to Musk.
  • Musk suggested that Trump's ability to engage in unscripted, lengthy conversations contrasted sharply with Vice President Kamala Harris's campaign strategy.
  • Harris's campaign opted for shorter, targeted podcast appearances, avoiding platforms like Joe Rogan's, which Musk claimed would have been detrimental.
  • Musk, a major Trump donor, hinted at a potential role in Trump's administration focused on cost-cutting, underscoring their close alliance.
