Setting the tone within the first minute of the nearly two-hour talk, Elon called back to a tweet he posted last month following an apparent second assassination attempt on former president Donald Trump. At the time, he posted: “And no one is even trying to assassinate Biden/Kamala.”

Elon Musk and Tucker Carlson joked about the hypothetical assassination of Kamala Harris in an interview, drawing heavy criticism.

While he doesn’t refer to it by name, Carlson is clearly promoting Project 2025 in a paid ad read—despite the unpopular policy plan supposedly having been wound down after Donald Trump distanced himself from it.
