Donald Trump reveals why his voice had a lisp during Elon Musk interview
Former US President Donald Trump was interviewed by billionaire Elon Musk on his social media platform X (formerly Twitter) on Monday. The interview started on a choppy note and was delayed for 40 minutes after the Tesla chief announced that his social media platform had been cyber-attacked. The two businessmen discussed a number of topics including immigration, layoffs, assassination attempt on Mr Trump and climate change ahead of the US elections. However, several users pointed out that Mr Trump’s voice sounded like a lisp. Some said the former president seemed to be “slurring his words”.
The Republican contender has now provided clarification on why his voice came across as “different and strange” during the interview, in response to rumors. In addition, he exhorted his followers and admirers to hear the unadulterated two-hour version of the recording.
He wrote on Truth Social, “Last night my conversation with Alan was heard by a record audience, and it was truly something special, as Alan himself is very special – and I thank him for such strong support!”
“Unfortunately, due to the complexity of modern equipment and cellphone technology, my voice sounded a bit different and strange in some areas. Therefore, we have released a real and correct recording of the conversation. Enjoy!!!” he added.
