Elon Musk interview of Donald Trump hit by technical problems on X

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s scheduled interview with Elon Musk on the billionaire entrepreneur’s social media platform X on Monday evening ran into technical difficulties at the outset, with many users unable to access the live stream and Musk postponing the event.

The site showed the page was “not available” shortly after the scheduled start time of 8 p.m. Eastern Time (0000 GMT Tuesday) for many users. As of 8:20 p.m., the page listed about 214,000 participants, though the event had not yet started, presumably due to the technical problems.
