The two “cannot run a livestream in the year 2024,” the Harris campaign snarked on X.

Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign has already proven itself adept at baiting Donald Trump and his supporters using the playground-tested technique of calling Republicans “weird.” The campaign, which has proven itself to be Extremely Online through TikToks evoking Trump’s lack of “aura” and hearty embrace of the “brat” label, is now provoking its opponent by pointing out how not online Trump is.

Trump is so out of touch, he can’t work the internet, the Harris campaign posits, pointing to Monday evening’s livestreamed interview between Trump and Elon Musk, which was delayed by some 45 minutes due to technical issues.

Trump’s entire campaign is in service of people like Elon Musk and himself—self-obsessed rich guys who will sell out the middle class and who cannot run a livestream in the year 2024,” the Harris campaign shared on X (formerly Twitter) after the lengthy conversation between the two. The campaign’s rapid response team addressed the statement to “those unlucky enough to listen in tonight during whatever that was on X.com.”

    Too bad greedy ISPs and ISVs killed anything that isn’t HTTP, so smart people had to scramble and find alternate sub-par solutions.
