Musk Slammed ‘NPC’ Biden And Harris
Elon Musk slammed President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, stating that you can’t have a conversation with the president and his vice as it is with former President Donald Trump.
Musk made the remark during an X Space conversation with the former president on Monday.
“We’re having a great conversation right now,” Trump told Musk during their Monday night X Space. “Kamala wouldn’t have this conversation, she can’t, because she’s not smart. You know, she’s not a smart person, by the way. She can’t have this conversation. And Biden, we don’t even have to talk about it, I mean, he couldn’t have this conversation. He would’ve given up in the first half of a question. He would’ve walked out, he would’ve said, ‘Where am I? Where am I going?’”
Trump’s interview followed a period in which the most influential media outlets did not secure an interview with Harris for 22 consecutive days after she entered the presidential race on July 21.

“This is a really big point,” Musk added. “You can actually have a conversation with you, and you can’t have a conversation with Biden or Kamala. It’s impossible. It’s like talking to an NPC.”
Musk’s mention of an “NPC” refers to the term “non-playable character,” which is a character in a game that is not controlled by an actual person.
This absence of interviews contrasts sharply with the usual flurry of media interactions that typically accompany a candidate’s entry into a presidential race. Harris has not appeared in a television interview since June 24, 2024, and the last time she was reportedly questioned at a solo press conference was eight months ago, on December 2, 2023.
Happy to host Kamala on an 𝕏 Spaces too

Harris’ presidential campaign criticized Donald Trump’s interview with Elon Musk on Monday, even though she has avoided participating in an unscripted interview for 22 consecutive days.
“Trump’s entire campaign is in service of people like Elon Musk and himself — self-obsessed rich guys who will sell out the middle class and who cannot run a livestream in the year 2024,” Harris campaign spokesperson Joseph Costello said in a statement, using class warfare terminology with roots in Marxism.
