Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung lashed out at the Harris-Walz campaign on Monday after they criticized the former president’s disastrous glitch-filled interview with Elon Musk.
“All these statements, yet nobody ever puts their name on them,” Cheung wrote on X/Twitter. “F—ing cowards.”
Musk’s XSpaces interview with Donald Trump was immediately derailed by technical issues for more than 40 minutes Monday night. Musk blamed the technical difficulties on a DDos attack, but staffers say that is not true.
The technical failure is reminiscent of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’ 2023 announcement on XSpaces that he was running for president. During the announcement the feed abruptly cutting off while music played and users were unable to join the space.
Trump mocked DeSantis at the time on his Truth Social app, writing: “Wow! The DeSanctus TWITTER launch is a DISASTER! His whole campaign will be a disaster. WATCH!”
The Harris campaign wasted no time in throwing those words back at Trump by ‘retruthing’ the post on the former president’s Truth Social platform.
The campaign also released a statement in response to Trump’s conversation with Musk, referring to them as “self-obsessed rich guys.”
“Donald Trump’s extremism and dangerous Project 2025 agenda is a feature not a glitch of his campaign, which was on full display for those unlucky enough to listen in tonight during whatever that was on X.com,” the campaign said in a statement.
“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.”
