Elon Musk recently weighed in on the much-anticipated presidential debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump, referring to it as “political theater.” Following the debate, Musk took to his X platform to share his thoughts, responding to a post from billionaire venture capitalist David Sacks. He wrote, “They’re just talking puppets. It was a setup for a switch.
Sacks had written, “Watching the CNN commentators put the knife in Biden’s back is actually sickening. No loyalty. No remorse. It’s just gross.” Prior to the debate, Trump surprised some podcast hosts when he complimented Biden as a potential worthy debater. Trump stated, “I assume he’s gonna be somebody that will be a worthy debater… I don’t want to underestimate him.
CNN political commentator Van Jones emphasized the importance of the debate for Biden, warning that if he makes any mistakes during the face-off, it could mean the end of his presidency. He characterized debating Trump as an extremely tough task that most people would find impossible to undertake.
Following the debate, NBC News reported that President Biden retreated to Camp David with close family members to discuss his reelection path forward. According to sources, some senior congressional Democrats have expressed concerns about Biden’s viability in the race against Trump, even as they publicly back the president. Despite these concerns, late Sunday reports indicated that Biden’s family had convinced him to remain in the race.
