However, it appears Musk is open to having Twitter Space discussions with other presidential candidates.
"Donald Trump should do a Twitter Spaces with Elon also. It would probably break the internet. RFK Jr should do it also. Elon, are you offering to host a Twitter Spaces with each of them? Also Biden?" Twitter user Wall Street Silver wrote.

Musk gave further indication that he's open to having any candidate on the platform.
"Any candidate who announces on this platform will get the highest possible audience. It’s a smart move," Musk said.

"For Democrats complaining about @ElonMusk doing a Twitter Space with Ron DeSantis, are you suggesting he should do one with @JoeBiden? Unscripted and questions from the public. I’m sure Elon would do it, but would Joe? (Assuming he figures out how to log into Twitter himself)," ALX wrote.
"As a former Trump supporter turned Biden supporter, I believe Biden should do an interview with Elon Musk. His message can reach out to a larger demographic of people and it will show he is the President for all of us, not just his base," Twitter user David Weissman responded.

Musk chimed in on the conversation.
"Happy to do it," Musk said.

Could we see future Elon Musk Twitter Spaces with Donald Trump, Joe Biden, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and other presidential candidates?
Perhaps this is the beginning of a new trend to remove the candidates from mainstream media.
