Guess who’s back? Donald Trump is making a splashy return to X, the platform he was banned from for nearly two years after the Jan. 6 protest. Tonight, Trump is set to go live for an “unscripted” chat with X’s owner, Elon Musk. Scheduled for 8 p.m. Eastern Time, this interview promises to be a wild ride with no limits on the topics covered.
Trump’s first post on X is a powerful video. In it, he reminisces about his shock victory in the 2016 presidential race and the relentless political targeting he faced throughout his presidency. Another post is a direct hit at the current state of affairs:
“Are you better off now than you were when I was president? Our economy is shattered. Our border has been erased. We’re a nation in decline. Make the American Dream AFFORDABLE again. Make America SAFE again. Make America GREAT Again!”
This comeback also serves as a big moment for X, which has had its share of headlines lately. Musk is hoping this interview will revitalize the platform and draw a massive audience.
Musk endorsed Trump shortly after a recent assassination attempt on the former president. With Musk’s account boasting 193 million followers, the interview could significantly boost Trump’s visibility. For now, Trump’s X account has a solid 88 million followers, far surpassing the 7.5 million on his Truth Social platform.
So, get ready for an electrifying evening as Trump’s return to X is sure to stir up plenty of buzz.
