CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: Donald Trump is returning at least for one night to do a live interview Monday on X, the platform from which he was banned for nearly two years following the January 6, 2021, storming of the US Capitol.
Trump and Elon Musk, X’s owner, are slated to have what the tech titan has termed a live conversation at 8 p.m. Eastern Time that will be unscripted with no limits on subject matter, so should be highly entertaining! Musk is soliciting X users to pose their own questions.
The conversation serves not only as a way for the former president to reach potentially millions of voters directly. It’s also an opportunity for X, a platform that relies heavily on politics, to redeem itself after some struggles.
X has already been the scene of some of the 2024 cycle’s most memorable moments. As he skipped the first GOP presidential debate in August, Trump launched counter-programming of his own, appearing in a taped interview with former Fox News Channel host Tucker Carlson, which aired on X. Last month, President Joe Biden broke the news of his departure from the campaign in a letter posted to the platform.
