Did Donald Trump call Kamala Harris "beautiful"? Here's what he said in his awkward talk with Elon Musk on X

In a recent interview with Elon Musk on X Spaces, former President Donald Trump made some surprising remarks about his Democratic rival, Vice President Kamala Harris. During the two-hour conversation, which was marred by technical issues and awkward moments, Trump compared Harris to his wife, Melania Trump, in of appearance, while simultaneously criticizing Harris's leadership abilities.

Trump began by launching into a critique of Harris, describing her as a "terrible" leader and questioning her competence on the global stage. He imagined her in a meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping, saying, "We need smart people, and people that have the ability to lead. She doesn't have that ability." This comment was delivered with a noticeable lisp, something that became a topic of discussion during the interview.

Musk, who maintained an agreeable stance throughout the interview, responded to Trump's comments by itting that Harris's leadership in such a scenario "would be silly." Trump agreed, reiterating his belief that Harris is "terrible" and claiming that she's "getting a free ride."

Trump's surprising comparison in Musk interview

The conversation then took an unexpected turn as Trump began to compliment Harris's appearance, drawing comparisons between her and the former First Lady. "I saw a picture of her on Time Magazine today. She looks like the most beautiful actress ever to live," Trump said, before adding, "She looked very much like our great First Lady, Melania."

Musk responded with an awkward chuckle and a hesitant "yeah," as Trump continued his remarks. He intentionally mispronounced Harris's name as "Camilla" before conceding, "Of course, she's a beautiful woman and we'll leave it at that." Musk, seemingly eager to change the subject, quickly shifted the conversation to discuss the American dream.

Despite the initial hype, the live-streamed interview faced several challenges, including a 40-minute delay that Musk attributed to a cyberattack. When the conversation finally began, it was filled with Trump's usual rhetoric, including several false claims and his iration for figures like Kim Jong Un and Musk himself.

Harris's campaign team later responded to the interview, criticizing both Trump and Musk as "self-obsessed rich guys who will sell out the middle class and who cannot run a livestream in the year 2024."
