AceShowbiz - Billionaire and X owner Elon Musk has announced a live interview with 2024 Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on Monday night, August 12. The unscripted conversation will be broadcast on Musk's social media platform at 8 P.M. Eastern Time.

Trump recently made his return to X, where he was previously banned following the January 6, 2021, Capitol storming. However, Musk reinstated Trump's account after acquiring the platform in 2022.

Musk encouraged X users to submit questions and comments for Trump to address during the interview. The wide range of potential topics includes Trump's endorsement of Senator J.D. Vance, a hack on his campaign, and his recent efforts to engage with younger voters through social media platforms like TikTok.

This interview marks Musk's continued support for Trump, despite their past rocky relationship. Musk has grown increasingly critical of the Democratic Party and endorsed Trump's 2024 bid following an assassination attempt on the former president.

The conversation between Musk and Trump is expected to draw significant attention given the personalities involved. Musk's large following of over 193 million on X and Trump's potential reach to 88 million followers on the platform could amplify their discussion.

While Trump has a larger following on Truth Social, his own platform, Musk's interview provides him with a wider audience to engage with potential voters directly. To accommodate the anticipated high volume of viewers, X is reportedly conducting system scaling tests.
