Elon Musk, the owner of X (formerly Twitter) and SpaceX, has announced an upcoming interview with former U.S. President Donald Trump. This highly anticipated conversation between two of the most influential figures in the world will take place without any boundaries or filters. Here are the details and how you can watch it live.
Elon Musk Announces Interview Date on X
Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk revealed the details of his interview with Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on the social media platform X. The interview is scheduled for Monday, August 12th at 8:00 PM EDT (New York Time). This conversation could mark a pivotal moment in the tumultuous U.S. presidential election process.
The timing of the interview is significant, as it comes during a period when Trump’s campaign has stagnated, and his Democratic rival, Vice President Kamala Harris, has been gaining momentum. The broadcast on Musk’s X platform (formerly Twitter) will allow Trump to connect with a broader audience beyond his traditional conservative base.
Given the technical difficulties experienced during similar events on X in the past, there has already been some buzz about potential issues. Musk addressed these concerns by stating, “I will be conducting system scaling tests tonight and tomorrow before the conversation to ensure everything runs smoothly.”
The interview will be streamed live on both Trump’s and Elon Musk’s official X accounts. It’s worth noting that Trump’s account was suspended after the January 6th, 2021, Capitol riot, but was reinstated after Musk’s acquisition of X, with all restrictions lifted.
Unless either party changes their mind at the last minute, Donald Trump and Elon Musk will meet on Monday, August 12th, 2024, at 8:00 PM EDT (New York Time).
