Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk made a statement on Twitter, stating that he will invite Donald Trump on his show, one of Musk's moves to endorse Donald Trump's 2024 presidential bid recently.
O ne of the recent attempts to tie himself to far-right politics, Musk used his influential platform, X, formerly known as Twitter, to advance right-wing agendas and promote Trump even more zealously since an assassination attempt on the former president.
The interview will be broadcast 8 PM EDT on Trump's X account. Musk has only built the hype for the conversation, saying it will be both entertaining and completely raw, with no parameters as to what is off-limits for discussion. Since the election, Musk has tried to reach out to Trump's inner circle, hosting high-profile parties in a desperate attempt to steal influential supporters away from President Joe Biden.
Support for Trump from Musk extends further than mere conversational lip service: he has directly been involved in advancing pro-Trump causes. In May, he co-founded a super PAC called America PAC with Texas real estate developer Richard Weekley, a close ally of GOP megadonor Bob Perry. The PAC has targeted voter recruitment in battleground states, but has suffered organizational setbacks and recently shook up some of its senior staff. Musk is said to be content with the stated values of the PAC, such as meritocracy and personal freedoms, although he did publicly deny reports he donated $45 million a month.
Rumors have emerged of an advisory role for Musk in Trump's re-election campaign, which he quickly dismissed himself, stating no official position at the White House had been discussed. Still, Musk demonstrated an interest in politics for at least as long as it took to inform the world that he initially would not support any major candidate for president this election season.
There has been intense political activity on X lately, with political tweets escalating from 2% of Musk's content in 2021 to 17% recently, The Washington Post said. Against this rapidly changing political landscape, America PAC has figured considerably; recently, even Michigan's Secretary of State opened an investigation into it. What is raised in the question is whether the PAC, taking voter registration as an excuse was gathering personal information from visitors to its website to run into the problem of a vendor whose snafu would prevent voting registration forms from being mailed.
This interview is absolutely critical at this point as, for the first time in the electoral cycle, Trump has been faltering. He had maintained a lead in polls following his confrontations with Biden and the scandal over the attempted assassination. However, it was a cocktail of controversies and the rising significance of Vice President Kamala Harris that stole away his seat.
