Election 2024 live: Trump’s lisp and tech glitches become focus after rambling talk with Musk on X

Luntz argued that Trump’s personal attacks are pushing away voters who may otherwise have backed him.

“He’s been very negative and very hostile,” Luntz said, adding that he has “lost his balance.”

Donald Trump told Elon Musk that, should he return to the White House in November, he would build an Iron Dome air-defense system over the US, similar to that used by Israel.

“One of the things we’re going to do is we’re going to build an Iron Dome over us,” he told Musk on Monday night.

“You know, Israel has it. We’re going to have the best Iron Dome in the world. We need it… we’re going to have protection, because it just takes one maniac to, you know, start something.

“We’re going to have protection… why shouldn’t we have an Iron Dome? Israel has one. Some others have one that nobody even knows about, frankly, but Israel has it.”

As Donald Trump and Elon Musk began to talk on X Monday night, the former president’s voice raised the biggest question as it sounded like he had a lisp.

At the top of the Elon Musk and Donald Trump discussed about the attempt on the former president’s life at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania last month.

However, social media users were distracted from the conversation by Trump’s apparent lisp, which appeared to affect his pronounciation of the letter “s.”

Social media users were quick to point out that Donald Trump appeared to have a lisp while talking with Elon Musk.

Others speculated that the former president’s microphone may be broken.

He’s got jokes, enthusiasm and a smiley face that’s not even remotely trying to hide how he’s feeling. He’s Tim Walz – and he’s bringing major Midwestern dad energy to the Democratic ticket.

It’s in stark contrast to what some see in their own fathers – who often have more conservative political views.

“He is silly. My dad used to be very, very silly and goofy,” Pamela Wurst Vetrini, a woman who recently compared Walz to her father, said in a viral TikTok video.

“[My dad] is really friendly, he loves people,” social media user Lydia said. “Except when he goes to the voting booth.”
