Tech mogul Elon Musk is set to interview former President Donald Trump on the X Spaces feature at 8pm ET. While Musk did not specify the length of the interview, technical difficulties have hindered access to the conversation. A massive DDOS attack on X has caused delays, but Musk has assured that the interview will be posted for listeners who are unable to tune in live. The conversation comes amidst Trump’s bid to revitalize his campaign after Joe Biden’s decision not to seek a second term.
Despite Musk’s past criticisms of Trump, including questioning his age and endorsing Florida governor Ron DeSantis as a better opponent against Biden, the Tesla CEO’s recent support has led Trump to shift his views on electric vehicles. Trump now claims to support electric cars due to Musk’s endorsement. Additionally, the FBI is currently investigating a leak of Trump campaign documents, which the campaign attributes to foreign hackers. The leaked documents included internal communications and a dossier vetting Trump’s vice-presidential pick.
As the interview draws near, the conversation is anticipated to cover fundraising efforts, Trump’s prospects for the upcoming election, and potential promises from Musk. The live blog updates on X’s technical issues and Musk’s history with the platform, which has been criticized for spreading misinformation. It remains to be seen how the interview will unfold and whether Musk will challenge Trump’s statements during the conversation.
