Donald Trump’s much anticipated conversation on the social media platform X with owner Elon Musk was marred by technical errors Monday evening, starting more than 40 minutes late as more than a million users tuned in to the event. It was the latest mishap for the Republican nominee as he has sought to regain his footing amid a surge in Democratic enthusiasm for his new rival, Vice President Kamala Harris.
The joint appearance was also a high-profile embarrassment for Musk’s X, which has faced numerous outages since the entrepreneur’s takeover and suffered from a server meltdown during a presidential campaign launch last year.

Vice President Kamala Harris addressed anti-Israel protesters who interrupted her rally in Arizona on Friday, responding to them by saying, “I respect your voices.”
The disruption occurred about five minutes into Harris’ speech at the Desert Diamond Arena near Phoenix. Her reaction this time was noticeably different from her approach in Michigan the previous day, where she quickly silenced and reprimanded anti-Israel protesters.
As her supporters chanted “USA, USA” to drown out the protesters, Harris paused and said, “Hold on a second. Hold on, hold on, hold on everybody.”

On Friday night, a bochur suffered a stabbing in Crown Heights, an incident deemed a hate crime, taking place within 100 feet of Chabad’s 770 Headquarters.
