Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump announced he will join billionaire X owner Elon Musk for a high-profile interview next week.
“ON MONDAY NIGHT I’LL BE DOING A MAJOR INTERVIEW WITH ELON MUSK,” Trump declared on his social media platform Truth Social on Tuesday, adding, “Details to follow!”
The upcoming interview arrives on the heels of a widely watched Trump interview with Gen Z influencer Adin Ross on Monday, which the 45th president said boasted over 100 million views.
Trump’s interview with Musk also comes as the billionaire tech entrepreneur last month pledged his support for Trump following an assassination attempt, which prompted the Tesla CEO to declare, “I fully endorse President Trump and hope for his rapid recovery.”
