    On Monday night (12 August), Elon Musk sat down with 2024 candidate Donald Trump for an interview.

    However, some of the former president's off-handed statements’ accuracy proved questionable.

    The Republican and the X owner discussed various topics such as rising sea levels, inflation, and immigration in an interview that was promoted as a game-changing "conversation" but resulted in a friendly exchange plagued by technology issues - not to mention questions about Mr Trump's apparent lisp.

    The Independent has fact-checked Mr Trump's claims.
