Krypton Was Not Mentioned During Trump and Musk’s Space Broadcast

Former President Donald Trump did not mention bitcoin (BTC) or crypto in his interview with X CEO Elon Musk last night.

The wide-ranging interview, which lasted more than two hours, covered a variety of topics including illegal immigration, the economy, artificial intelligence and global warming.

The interview, which drew more than 1 million listeners, was delayed by more than 45 minutes due to “a massive distributed denial of service attack against X.”

“As this massive attack has shown, there is a lot of opposition to people wanting to hear what President Trump has to say,” Musk said of the alleged attack.

However, The Verge, which conducts technological research, reported that there was no such situation and that there was a “99 percent chance that Musk was lying.” Cybersecurity monitoring organization Netblocks said that X Spaces experienced international outages, but did not confirm whether it was a DDOS attack.

Polymarket bettors put the odds of “crypto” being mentioned during the interview at 65 percent, with over $600,000 being wagered on the subject. Mentioning Bitcoin attracted a 69 percent chance of around $330,000.

A user named ‘bama1234’ won over $1 million by betting on most of the words Trump said or didn’t say during the interview.

While crypto has become an election issue, with Trump appearing at the BTC 2024 conference in Nashville to announce his crypto policy, the topic continues to go unmentioned at mainstream events like the first presidential debate in June.
