Taking to Truth Social, the 77-year-old presumptive Republican presidential nominee wrote, “On Monday night, I’ll be doing a major interview with Elon Musk—details to follow!”

Meanwhile, Elon Musk confirmed an interview with Trump on August 12, and said it will be broadcast on X Spaces, reported The Insider Paper.

Trump shared a sweet and sour relationship with Musk before Tesla CEO publicly endorsed the former President following an assassination attempt on him at a campaign rally event.

Trump, who was not fond of electric vehicles, took a U-turn, declaring: “I'm for electric cars, I have to be because Elon endorsed me very strongly. So I have no choice.”

The former President also received a $60,000 Tesla Cybertruck as a present from internet influencer Adin Ross during an interview at his Mar-a-Lago home.

Is Musk donating $45million a month to Trump campaign?

After endorsing Trump, Musk also questioned Google and Meta's “shadow ban” on the GOP leader, but he refuted reports of giving the Trump campaign a $45 million monthly donation. He noted he intends to donate to the Trump campaign, but clarified that it will be substantially less.

Notably, Trump's Twitter account was suspended during the last days of his presidency in January 2021. However, Musk restored his account after buying the social media platform for $44 billion.

Meanwhile, netizens expressed their enthusiasm for what they said is the most-awaited interview, which “will break the internet”.

“Get ready for the interview that will break the internet!” one user wrote.

“Can’t said! Trump and Musk are doing more than anyone else to help save America,” another reacted.

"Kamala Harris will never do the same," a third user commented.

Kamala Harris vs Donald Trump

Trump and Kamala Harris have not yet engaged in a debate ahead of the US Presidential election. Last week, Trump declared that he had consented to a September 4 debate on Fox News with Democratic rival Harris.

“I have agreed with Fox News to debate Kamala Harris on Wednesday, September 4th,” he wrote on Truth Social.

However, Harris' campaign turned down his invitation after he declined to participate in a previously scheduled debate on ABC.
