Trump and Musk Sitting Down for an Interview

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is set to interview his newer supporter, Tesla founder Elon Musk, on Monday. Trump made the announcement via his Truth Social platform on Tuesday: "ON MONDAY NIGHT I'LL BE DOING A [MAJOR INTERVIEW WITH ELON MUSK]. Details to follow!"

This follows Musk's endorsement of Trump last month after the assassination attempt, which Trump called a "moment of unity". Despite Musk's previous statements of voting Democrat and not donating to any political campaigns, his recent actions show a shift in allegiance.

On Monday, Trump was interviewed by video game streamer Adin Ross, who gifted him a Rolex and a Cybertruck with a unique photo. The interview with Musk will add to the former president's media appearances as he seeks a second term, now running against VP Kamala Harris, who chose Tim Walz as her running mate.

When: Monday, Aug. 12.

Details: To be announced.
