Former President Donald Trump will sit down for an interview on Monday night with Elon Musk, one of the world’s richest men.
Musk announced the interview Sunday on X, formerly Twitter, after Trump had teased it last week in a post on his social media platform, Truth Social.
Musk owns X, and is also the founder of SpaceX and Tesla. He did not give any mention in the brief post of what would be discussed in the interview, other than it would be “unscripted with no limits on subject matter.”
The interview between Trump and Musk comes as the former president is seeking reelection to the White House against Vice President Kamala Harris, who recently announced Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate. Trump chose Ohio Sen. JD Vance as his running mate in July.
Musk announced on X that he will be interviewing Trump on Monday, Aug. 12 at 8 p.m. ET.
How to stream Elon Musk’s interview with Donald Trump
The interview between Musk and Trump will be streamed live on X, formerly Twitter, on Monday, Aug. 12 at 8 p.m. ET.
The interview will be hosted on Trump’s account, @realDonaldTrump, X announced.
Musk made a call out for questions and comments in a tweet Sunday night.
This isn’t the first live event to take place on X this election cycle, with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis launching his brief presidential campaign on the social media platform last year.
The live event with Musk, DeSantis and moderator David Sacks was plagued by technical difficulties, which persisted for more than 20 minutes before the governor was able to deliver his speech and participate in a question-and-answer session.
Musk is hoping to avoid any technical difficulties that could arise before the interview with Trump, posting Sunday that he will do “some system scaling tests tonight & tomorrow.”
