Former President Donald Trump has announced an upcoming interview with tech mogul Elon Musk, which is already shaping up to be one of the year’s most intriguing media events.
Trump made the announcement on his Truth Social platform, teasing a special broadcast scheduled for Monday night that is expected to attract global attention.
Trump posted: “ON MONDAY NIGHT I’LL BE DOING A MAJOR INTERVIEW WITH ELON MUSK — Details to follow!” With Trump’s flair for the dramatic and Musk’s taste for the unexpected, the interview is anticipated to be a ratings powerhouse.
“This will break the internet for sure,” one X user posted upon hearing the news. “The Elon Musk and Donald Trump interview will be the most important interview of our time,” said another X user. “This is going to be epic,” another noted. “This is gonna save humanity. Happy to be a part of it,” another supporter wrote.
A Musk co-founded Super PAC, meanwhile, is allocating millions for data collection and canvassing in battleground states to ensure Trump’s election victory in November.
America PAC previously operated discreetly until recent media coverage highlighted its distinctive initiatives and prominent supporters, and now the org is in full-swing and all-in for the former president.
In a July interview with Jordan Peterson, Musk emphasized the PAC’s activities, noting that it spent over $20 million since June, according to FEC filings. Notable investors besides Musk include Cameron Winklevoss, Tyler Winklevoss, Joe Lonsdale, and Doug Leone.
One ad from the PAC designed to boost voter registration includes footage of the attempted assassination of Trump on July 13. In the ad, a person shares the video with a friend, urging them to register to vote, and provides instructions on how to do so.
CNBC reported that while the ad promotes the America PAC website, the registration process varies by state. In states like California, users are directed straight to a basic registration form. In contrast, in battleground states such as Pennsylvania, users encounter a more detailed form requesting personal information, but no registration form is ultimately provided.
