Former President Donald Trump and tech billionaire Elon Musk are teaming up for a much-anticipated interview set to air on Monday night at 8 p.m. Eastern Time on the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter.

This interview comes as Trump’s presidential campaign seeks to regain momentum and reach a wider audience.

Trump’s return to X, after nearly a year of inactivity, marks a strategic move to re-engage with a larger online community.

Earlier on Monday, Trump posted several messages, including a video where he repeated his claims that the criminal charges against him are politically motivated.

His reappearance on X suggests he is looking to boost his campaign by reaching new voters and drawing media attention.

The interview is noteworthy because of the evolving relationship between Trump and Musk. The two have had a rocky past, with Musk once criticizing Trump and even supporting his Republican rival, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.

However, over the past year, Trump and Musk have found common ground on issues like free speech, skepticism of government control, and opposition to what they call “woke” culture.

Musk’s recent endorsement of Trump, following an assassination attempt on the former president in Pennsylvania, has further solidified their partnership.

This alliance reflects a growing trend in American politics where social media influence and traditional campaigning are becoming more interconnected.

For Trump, this interview is a chance to reinvigorate his campaign and reassert his presence in the political spotlight. For Musk, it’s an opportunity to cement his role as a major player in the political landscape.

The interview, streamed live on X, is expected to draw millions of viewers and could play a key role in shaping the 2024 presidential election.
