Elon Musk is set to interview Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on the social media platform X, in an event that could inject new twists into the already turbulent U.S. presidential election.
Elon Musk, who supported President Joe Biden in the last election, has now aligned himself with the Republican ideas of the former president, even urging his followers to vote for Trump in November.
This conversation with the tech mogul adds to the series of interviews the Republican candidate has recently had with various personalities, influencers, and conservative media outlets.
The interview, scheduled for 00:00 GMT on Tuesday, could provide the former president with an opportunity to seize the spotlight at a time when his campaign is perceived as struggling.
What Other Interviews Has Donald Trump Had Before Elon Musk’s?
The most recent was on Monday with streamer Adin Ross, broadcasted on the platform Kick from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.
Ross is known for his controversial statements and was banned from the live-streaming platform Twitch for making homophobic slurs and displaying racist and anti-Semitic messages in his live chat.
Meanwhile, the former president remains resolute in his decision not to participate in the debate against current Vice President and Democratic candidate Kamala Harris, scheduled for September 10th on ABC. Instead, he wants them to face off on Fox News.
Elon Musk, who has 193 million followers on X, denied reports that he plans to donate more than $40 million a month to Trump’s campaign, as recently reported by The Wall Street Journal. However, he hasn’t hidden his public support for the conservative politician’s ideas.
