He then accused Democrats of engineering a “coup” to replace Biden on the presidential ticket. Musk suggested that the party “took [Biden] out back behind the shed and basically shot him.”

Trump further charged that Harris was becoming a “radical left, San Francisco liberal… and now she wants to be more Trump than Trump,” accusing her of moving toward the center on matters like immigration.

As Harris has risen in the polls, the former president has been finding it difficult to come up with a consistent attack strategy in recent weeks, even going so far as to call into question her race.

On Monday, he continued to be sporadic in his criticism and seldom ever called out Harris by name.

In addition, he was filled with wrath towards his political rivals, saying that he had “enemies on the outside and enemies on the inside” and that “bad people in our government” were a greater threat than foreign foes.

The former president declared that North Korean, Chinese, and Russian leaders were “at the top of their game.”

“They are tough, they are smart and they are vicious,” he said.

Musk showered the former president with compliments while attempting time and again to steer the discussion toward more centrist topics like immigration, where he praised Trump as a moderate and made a distinction between legal and illegal immigration, as well as cutting back on government spending and containing the increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide.
