The crypto community is disappointed: Donald Trump and Elon Musk didn’t mention anything about cryptocurrencies!
Former President Donald Trump, now a Republican presidential candidate, gave an interview to Elon Musk on X Space around 01:00 UTC. The broadcast started late due to a system error, with Musk claiming it was caused by a DDOS attack. Initially, 8 million people were ready to tune in, but the broadcast began with a limited audience. Despite the delay, more than 16 million people listened to the interview by the next morning.
However, crypto enthusiasts were let down when neither Bitcoin nor cryptocurrencies were discussed. Many expected Trump and Musk, both of whom have shown interest in crypto before, to talk about it. This was especially disappointing given that a crypto-based betting site, Polymarket, had more than 800,000 bets placed, totaling over 4 million dollars, on whether Trump would mention crypto.
Trump, who has previously supported the crypto sector, including Bitcoin mining companies, surprised the community by not addressing the topic. This silence was similar to an earlier interview where El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele didn’t mention Bitcoin either.
Musk, meanwhile, expressed interest in having Kamala Harris join him for a Space broadcast in the future.
