Elon Musk’s support for former U.S. President Donald Trump has sparked a stir, leading to a live discussion between the two on the X platform on August 12.
The conversation, which lasted over two hours, covered a wide range of topics including assassination events, border immigration, education, international affairs, and numerous climate-related issues. These included the fate of fossil fuels, the development of electric vehicles, and views on nuclear energy.
However, the conversation lacked focus and resembled a casual chat between friends, even conveying some incorrect concepts. This led to criticism, with some calling it "the dumbest climate conversation ever."
Trump claims sea level rise will create more beachfront property
The most criticized aspect of the discussion was Trump’s assertion that global warming is not the biggest threat. He claimed that sea levels will rise by only 1/8 inch over the next 400 years, suggesting that higher sea levels would result in more beachfront properties, and thus, there is no need to reduce carbon emissions.
