Trump Returns to Social Media Platform X Ahead of Interview With Musk

Donald Trump, the Republican presidential candidate, returned to social media platform X ahead of his interview with Elon Musk. The event, scheduled for Monday, could rejuvenate his sagging campaign. Trump's last post on X was in August 2023; his account was restored after Musk's acquisition of the platform.

Donald Trump, the Republican presidential candidate, made a notable return to social media platform X on Monday, just before his much-anticipated interview with billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk. This event, slated for 8 p.m. Eastern Time, has the potential to revive his faltering campaign ahead of the November presidential election.

Trump's Democratic opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, has managed to close the gap in opinion polls while energizing her base with a series of energetic rallies. Trump's comeback on X, marked by multiple posts, hints that he might be more active on the platform moving forward. His last activity on X was back in August 2023 when he appealed for donations following criminal charges related to his efforts to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia.

Musk, who leans rightward politically despite previously supporting Democratic President Joe Biden, has shown increasing support for Trump. His external super PAC backing Trump is currently under investigation for potential violations of voter information laws. The upcoming Musk-Trump interview could draw significant attention, especially given Musk's controversial statements and shifting political stance.
