Elon Musk Pitches White House Job, EVs in Trump Interview | Bloomberg The Pulse 08/13/24
Donald Trump and Elon Musk held a warm, but glitch-delayed conversation on X that saw the tech mogul pitch a role for himself should the Republican nominee win a second White House term, but otherwise rehashed the notes that Trump routinely strikes at his campaign rallies. The billionaire entrepreneur blamed the delay on a cyber attack, without providing any evidence. As many as 1.3 million listeners tuned in, according to X, formerly known as Twitter. Meanwhile, UK unemployment fell unexpectedly, falling 0.2 percentage points to 4.2% in the three months to June, according to Office for National Statistics. Employment surged by 97,000, much stronger than the 3,000 increase that forecasters had expected. Today's guests: Beata Manthey, Citigroup Global Markets; Ellie Henderson, Investec
