After Elon Musk’s historic X Space conversation with Donald Trump, he extended an invite to Kamala Harris for a conversation with her.

“Happy to host Kamala on an 𝕏 Spaces too,” Musk said.

“Combined views of the conversation with @realDonaldTrump and subsequent discussion by other accounts now ~1 billion,” Musk said.

Newsweek reports:

Elon Musk has extended an invitation to Vice President Kamala Harris to appear in an interview with him after his conversation on X with Donald Trump.

Musk, who owns X, formerly known as Twitter, engaged in an almost two-hour interview with the former president on his app’s Spaces feature.

The audio-only interview covered a wide range of topics, with Trump even granting Harris a rare compliment by comparing her to his wife Melania Trump and labeling her a “beautiful woman.”

Following the interview, Musk returned to X and offered Harris, who is the presumptive Democratic nominee for November’s presidential election, the same opportunity to appear on Spaces. “Happy to host Kamala on an 𝕏 Spaces too,” Musk wrote on Monday.

After the Harris campaign’s meltdown following the interview, it’s hard to imagine Harris accepting Musk’s offer.

“Trump’s entire campaign is in service of people like Elon Musk and himself — self-obsessed rich guys who will sell out the middle class and who cannot run a livestream in the year 2024,” the campaign said in a statement.

“Understandable that Kamala’s campaign would find it confusing to listen to a presidential candidate speak off the teleprompter for more than 0 seconds,” Trump War Room commented.

“I wouldn’t hold your breath. Over three weeks. Not a single interview,” Collin Rugg commented.

From The Hollywood Reporter:

Before the interview, Musk took some heat from the European Union. The EU’s commissioner for internal market, Frenchman Thierry Breton, had posted an open letter to the X founder and tech mogul on Monday asking that he censor his interview with Trump to avoid “the amplification of harmful content.” Breton said Musk, who bought the platform in 2022, has a legal obligation to comply with the Digital Services Act (DSA) and fight the spread of misinformation. Linda Yaccarino, CEO of X (formerly Twitter), was copied.

“As the relevant content is accessible to EU users and being amplified also in our jurisdiction, we cannot exclude potential spillovers in the EU,” Breton continued in his letter. Any “negative effect of illegal content” could lead the EU to take further action against X and Musk, using “our full toolbox, including by adopting interim measures, should it be warranted to protect EU citizens from harm.”

Musk replied to Breton’s letter with a meme that said: “Take a big step back and literally, f*** your own face!”

Trump returned to the app after having his account suspended following the Capitol riots on Jan. 6, 2021, “due to the risk of further incitement of violence,” the company said at the time. When Musk took over, though, he reinstated Trump’s account.
