Elon Musk, owner of social media platform X, will interview former President Donald Trump on Monday, the New York Times reported.
Trump posted an article about the upcoming verbal exchange on his social network Truth Social, saying the main points would follow, The New York Times reported.
“MONDAY NIGHT I AM DOING AN IMPORTANT INTERVIEW WITH ELON MUSK – Details below!” he wrote on his Truth Social platform on Tuesday.
Although skeptical, Musk, who is also Tesla’s chief executive, supported Trump’s presidential bid, the New York Times reported, breaking with the neutrality rule displayed by executives on social media platforms.
Musk’s endorsement came just minutes after the assassination attempt on Trump at his campaign rally in Butler County.
“I fully agree with President Trump and look forward to his speedy recovery,” he said in X.
After the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, when the company was still known as Twitter and its former owner, Trump’s account was permanently suspended, the Times reported. But, under Musk’s ownership, the company reinstated it.
Musk originally said he would not support either candidate in this year’s presidential election, USA Today reported.
“To be very clear, I will be giving cash to any of the candidates for the presidency of the United States,” he wrote on March 6, according to USA Today.
Musk said he had voted for Democratic candidate President Joe Biden in the past three election cycles, USA Today reported. Lately, the tech mogul has expressed frustration with Democratic policies.
