Former President Donald Trump made a comeback to the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, to announce an exclusive interview with the platform’s owner, Elon Musk. The live conversation is scheduled to take place at 8pm ET and Musk described it as unscripted with no limits on subject matter, promising it to be highly entertaining.
Trump’s return to X came with a series of posts criticizing the current state of the US economy, border security, and overall decline of the nation. This interview with Musk is seen as an opportunity for Trump to reach a wider audience beyond his regular conservative viewers on Fox News.
This is not the first time Musk has hosted a presidential candidate on X. Earlier in May 2023, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, a challenger to Trump for the GOP nomination, announced his campaign on Twitter Spaces with Musk as the host. However, technical issues and a subsequent drop in the polls led DeSantis to eventually drop out of the race.
In recent times, Trump has been engaging in unconventional interviews to appeal to a broader demographic of voters. Just a week ago, he had a 90-minute interview with a 23-year-old live streamer, Adin Ross, where he received gifts like a Tesla Cybertruck, a Rolex watch, and a Diet Coke. This move was perceived as an attempt to connect with younger voters and increase viewership.
With the upcoming interview with Musk, Trump is expected to discuss a wide range of topics with no restrictions, making it an eagerly awaited event for many. Stay tuned for more updates on this exclusive conversation between Donald Trump and Elon Musk on X.
