1. It appears that trump is crushing on Kamala, but for kicks, he still just can't seem to get her name right
“I saw a picture of her on Time Magazine today. She looks like the most beautiful actress ever to live,” She looked very much like our great first lady, Melania,” Trump gushed as Musk met his comment with an awkward chuckle and a reserved, “yeah." She didn’t look like Camilla,” Trump said, purposely butchering Harris’ name. “Of course, she’s a beautiful woman and we’ll leave it at that."

2. Elon and trump like to fire people, especially union members.
love it," Trump said. "You're the greatest ... I mean, I look at what you do. You just walk in and you just say, 'You wanna quit?' They go on strike, I won't mention the name of the company, but they go on strike and you say, 'That's OK, you're all gone ... Every one of you is gone.'"
"You are the greatest!" he added after Musk chuckled. "You would be very good [on the proposed commission]. Oh, you would love it."

3. Perhaps musk should consider hiring back some of those engineers he fired.
"Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump sat Monday for a friendly two-hour interview with billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk on Musk's social media platform X, after technical problems delayed the start of the event for more than 40 minutes.
Musk, who has endorsed Trump, blamed the difficulties on a distributed denial-of-service attack, in which a server or network is flooded with traffic in an attempt to shut it down, though his claim could not be verified."

4. Yep, he really wants to kill public schools.
Trump reiterated his stance that he would try to shutter the Department of Education and allow states to handle the issue on their own, echoing a proposal from Project 2025, a Heritage Foundation document Democrats have aggressively promoted as a blueprint for Trump should he win.
“Not every state will do great,” Trump said. “Of the 50, I would bet that 35 would do great.”

5. trump did indeed seem to have an audible lisp and he appeared to slur some words.
Toward the end of the two-hour conversation, many listeners noted that the former president sounded like he was talking with a lisp and slurring his words. The question of whether Trump was slurring was trending online for a while. His campaign said there must be something wrong with listeners’ hearing.
