Elon Musk is stirring the pot on X once again, this time engaging in a late-night chat with former President Donald Trump that triggered an epic meltdown from the Kamala Harris campaign. After reporting a distributed denial of service attack on the platform—because who doesn’t want to knock out free speech—the billionaire tech mogul and the Trumpster dished out some hot takes. You’d think Kamala and her team would have better things to do than to freak out over a little conversation, but apparently not.
The Harris-Walz campaign unleashed an unhinged response, sounding more like an episode of a reality show gone wrong than a serious political statement. The Trump War Room didn’t miss a beat and came back with a perfectly timed retort, noting that understanding why the Harris campaign might struggle to listen to a presidential candidate speak off a teleprompter for more than zero seconds is a fair assessment. It’s a wonder Kamala hasn’t invented a job specifically for reading scripts, given her aversion to spontaneous speaking.

Steven Cheung, steering the ship as the communications director for Trump-Vance, waded into the chaos with a cheeky commentary on how no one from the Harris camp ever seems to put their name on anything. It’s the classic move of a political campaign: throw out some statements without having the courage to own them. He also pointed out that it had been 23 days since President Biden dropped out of the race—almost as if Kamala is desperately trying to avoid the limelight while working on her press-avoidance skills.
Vice President Harris has not only managed to duck the press but has also made a name for herself with her less-than-artful speech, particularly when praising President Biden’s diplomatic expertise after various botched attempts involving American prisoners in Russia. Meanwhile, Musk bragged about the conversation racking up around a billion views, clearly underlining which conversations Americans are interested in. The notion of offering Kamala a chance to join him on an X Spaces is akin to inviting someone to join a roller coaster ride—everyone else is strapped in for fun while she’s looking for an exit.
The Harris-Walz campaign, brimming with entitlement, remains focused on whining about Musk allegedly spreading Trump’s “hateful agenda.” They’ve also taken to fearmongering about Project 2025, a narrative that’s been debunked so many times it’s almost impressive. Their whiny email claimed Musk was using his platform to manipulate democracy, painting a picture of a billionaire puppet master pulling the strings. The irony of their complaints is the fact that they referred to Musk’s platform as Twitter, refusing to acknowledge its renaming to X, showing that it’s not just their arguments that are old-hat.
In summary, the latest debacle between Musk and the Harris-Walz team underscores the frantic state of the left as they try to grapple with a conversation that actually interests the American public. Instead of offering thoughtful dialogue, they stick with tired tropes and fear-based messaging, leaving many wondering how they plan to tackle the issues Americans really care about. Meanwhile, those of us tuning in for the real entertainment will keep enjoying the show—because when it comes to political drama, it’s hard to beat the absurdity of the left trying to compete with the lightning-fast wit of the right.
