Former President Donald Trump posted on X on Monday morning for the first time since last August as he’s set to be interviewed by X owner Elon Musk on Monday night.
Trump’s newest X post features a two-minute, thirty-second campaign video that includes clips from his 2016 election victory, his first term in office, and his 2024 campaign. The Monday X post marks Trump’s second on the platform since he was locked out of his account on January 6, 2021, by the regime of what was then Twitter. Musk restored Trump’s account in November 2022 after finalizing a deal to buy the company a month earlier, and Trump posted his mugshot on August 24, 2023.

After getting locked out of his Twitter account, Trump started his own social media company, Truth Social, on which he has been posting almost daily since its launch in February 2022.
The Republican presidential nominee announced his interview with Musk last week, writing, “ON MONDAY NIGHT I’LL BE DOING A MAJOR INTERVIEW WITH ELON MUSK — Details to follow!” The interview will stream live on X beginning at 8:00 p.m. ET.
On Sunday, Musk provided more details about the interview with Trump, writing, “This is unscripted with no limits on subject matter, so should be highly entertaining! If you have specific questions & comments, post them under the chat.”

Trump and Musk have had a complicated relationship over the past decade, but Musk “fully” endorsed the former president shortly after he was shot in an assassination attempt last month, and Trump said he has “a very good relationship” with the SpaceX and Tesla CEO. Musk previously supported Democrats Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden in their races against Trump in 2016 and 2020.
During Trump’s first few months in office, Musk served on a White House business advisory board but stepped down after Trump pulled the U.S. out of the Paris Climate Accord. Muks argued at the time, “Climate change is real. Leaving Paris is not good for America or the world.” Recently, Musk has been supportive of Trump’s policies on immigration and the economy as he has grown increasingly critical of the Democratic Party and its leftist agenda.
Trump and his running mate, Sen. JD Vance (R-OH), have made numerous media appearances over the past week, while Democratic nominee Kamala Harris and her VP pick, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, have been blasted for seemingly avoiding reporters while on their campaign tour.
Trump held an hour-long press conference at his Mar-a-Lago estate last Thursday, but Harris’ time taking questions from reporters has been limited, and she has yet to hold a press conference since taking over for President Joe Biden as the Democratic nominee.
