Donald Trump announces 'major interview' with Elon Musk: Here's what to know
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said he is set to sit down on Monday with one of his newer supporters: Tesla founder Elon Musk.
"ON MONDAY NIGHT I’LL BE DOING A MAJOR INTERVIEW WITH ELON MUSK — Details to follow!" Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform Tuesday.
Musk has not yet commented on the interview on his platform X, formerly known as Twitter. In January 2021, Trump was banned from Twitter during the final days of his term. Trump's X account was reinstated on the platform the following year once Musk's takeover was completed.
The interview comes as the former president seeks a return to the White House as he runs against Vice President Kamala Harris, who announced Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate Tuesday.
Trump participated in a 22-minute interview with video game streamer Adin Ross on Monday. During the livestream, Ross offered Trump a Rolex watch and a Cybertruck wrapped in a photo taken of him during the July 13 assassination attempt on his life.

Musk fully endorses Trump after rally shooting
Last month, Musk offered his complete endorsement for Trump following the assassination attempt at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
"I fully endorse President Trump and hope for his rapid recovery," Musk wrote on X on July 13 while sharing a video of the moment after a bullet struck his right ear.
Musk has said he previously voted for Democratic candidates, including President Joe Biden, in the three previous election cycles. In recent years, the tech mogul has vocalized his frustration with Democrat policies such as Biden's indefinite support for labor unions and his decisions regarding immigration and the border.
Earlier this year, Musk vowed not to contribute to either Trump or Biden's campaigns.
"Just to be super clear, I am not donating money to either candidate for US President," he wrote on March 6.
