Firstly, for those who live under a rock, let’s have a quick biography of our two protagonists,
Donald Trump and Elon Musk.
Donald Trump was born on June 14, 1946, in Queens, New York. He became a billionaire
through real estate before entering politics, where he won the U.S. presidential election in
2016 and served as the 45th president from 2017 to 2021. After losing the 2020 election, he
remained active in politics and won a second non-consecutive term in 2024, making him the
47th U.S. president. His leadership style is often described as controversial, but despite this,
he continues to maintain a strong base of supporters.
Elon Musk, born on June 28, 1971, in Pretoria, South Africa, co-founded PayPal before
launching Tesla, which revolutionized the electric car industry. Musk also founded SpaceX,
aiming to advance space travel and colonize Mars. In 2022, he acquired Twitter and renamed
it X, while also influencing industries such as AI and transportation. Known for his visionary
approach, Musk remains one of the most influential entrepreneurs of the 21st century.
Ewan, what do you think of the current president?
Donald Trump could be described as ambitious, as he has always been driven to achieve
success in both business and politics. He is also controversial, with his actions and comments
often sparking strong reactions and debates in the media. Charismatic is another adjective for
him, as he has a powerful presence that draws a loyal group of supporters. Trump is known
for being impulsive, making quick decisions and speaking without filters. Finally, he is
resilient, always recovering quickly from difficulties and staying on track with his goals.
And Adam, what is your opinion about your employer?
As for Elon Musk, he is undoubtedly innovative, constantly coming up with new and
groundbreaking ideas and technologies. He is determined, facing challenges but remaining
strongly committed to his projects. Musk can also be called visionary, as he has big ideas
about the future, especially in fields like space exploration and electric cars. His
unconventional approach challenges traditional norms, often using unique solutions to solve
problems. Lastly, Musk is bold, unafraid to take risks in business and technology.
You said innovative, but in what way?
Elon Musk is involved in several companies, including Tesla, SpaceX, Neuralink, The Boring
Company, X (formerly Twitter), xAI, SolarCity (now part of Tesla Energy), and has also
made past investments in OpenAI.
About AI, I heard some controversial things Musk said. What are Musk’s views on it, Adam?
Elon Musk has warned that artificial intelligence could become dangerous if not properly
regulated, believing it could surpass human control. He advocates for strict AI regulations and
transparency to prevent risks such as misinformation and job loss. Despite his concerns, Musk
founded xAI in 2023 to develop AI that aligns with human values and competes with
companies like OpenAI.
We’ve talked a lot about Musk, but which political party does Trump belong to?
Donald Trump is a member of the Republican Party.
What is his party’s nickname and emblem?
The Republican Party, also known as the "GOP" (Grand Old Party), has an elephant as its
emblem.
Could you mention the ideas that characterize Trump’s political party?
The Republican Party believes in a smaller government, personal freedom, and a free
economy. It supports lower taxes, a strong military, and traditional values. The party focuses
on personal responsibility and thinks that states should have more power. Republicans believe
that businesses and entrepreneurship help the economy grow. These ideas guide how the party
makes decisions in the country and around the world.
We also have to mention the role of USAID: USAID (United States Agency for International
Development) provides humanitarian aid and development assistance to countries in need. It
works to improve global health, support economic growth, and promote democracy and good
governance. The agency also addresses global issues like climate change and human rights.
But what decisions did Trump make regarding USAID?
President Trump reduced U.S. foreign aid, cutting money for USAID. His government
focused on putting American interests first and stopping support for countries that didn’t
follow U.S. policies. Trump also changed how USAID worked to make it more efficient and
accountable.
Ah, I remember now, the good old days. In February 2018, a red Tesla Roadster was launched
into space by SpaceX aboard the Falcon Heavy rocket. The car features a mannequin in the
driver’s seat, known as "Starman," and plays David Bowie’s "Space Oddity" as it orbits Earth.
