Elon Musk invites Kamala Harris for discussion on X after interview with Trump
New Delhi: Following a high-profile interview with former U.S. President Donald Trump on X, tech billionaire Elon Musk has extended an invitation to Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris for a discussion on the same platform. Musk took to X, formerly Twitter, to express his willingness to host Harris on X Spaces.
The interview with Trump, which aired after a 40-minute delay due to technical issues, garnered 73 million views. Despite the glitches, Musk reaffirmed his endorsement of Trump and attributed the issues to a cyber-attack. The conversation, described by Musk as "unscripted with no limits," touched on various topics, including immigration and inflation. Trump also took the opportunity to criticise Harris, labeling her a "believer in the radical left" and accusing her of avoiding interviews since launching her presidential campaign. "She hasn't done an interview since this whole scam started, and say what you want, this was a coup. This was a coup of a president of the United States," Trump said.
Harris's campaign responded by dismissing the interview, with her spokesperson, Joseph Costello, calling Trump and Musk "self-obsessed rich guys" who are out of touch with the middle class.
The interview marked Trump's return to X after being banned from the platform following the January 6 Capitol riots. His account was reinstated by Musk, who acquired the platform last year.

Gujarat man held for impersonating govt official, duping people with forged letters
Ahmedabad (PTI): The Ahmedabad police have arrested a 29-year-old man who allegedly posed as a senior revenue official and used fake letters claiming to be from various government departments to cheat people, an official said on Sunday.
Mehul Shah, an engineer who manages two schools at Vankaner in Gujarat’s Morbi district, is accused of making lakhs of rupees with bogus documents and false claims, said inspector (crime branch) JK Makwana.
Shah had forged an appointment letter from the Ahmedabad district education officer (DEO) to offer a computer operator’s job in a government office to a complainant’s son. He also introduced himself as a trustee of a school and did not pay a man Rs 7 lakh due to him over the painting of a school building, the official said.
“Despite holding no official position in the state or central government, he used fake work permits and NOCs to cheat people of lakhs of rupees,” the police official said.
One complainant alleged that Shah identified himself as a top revenue department official and produced a fake letter from the chairman of the “department of science and research development” to make him install a siren and curtain in a hired vehicle but did not pay for the job, he said.
Bogus letters claiming to be from the Union Ministry of Home Affairs and the Ahmedabad DEO were used by the accused to cheat the complainants, the police official said.
Police have recovered from his possession fake identity cards and letters with headings like “bharat gaurav ratna shri samman council”, “chairman of department of science and research development”, “health and family welfare department”, and “road and building department”.
“The FIR is based on complaints by three victims. We appeal to the people to come forward and submit their complaints if they have been cheated by Shah in any way,” Makwana said.
