In a highly anticipated event, Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, will hold a live chat with former President Donald Trump on SpaceX, the platform that replaced Twitter.
Elon Musk, who bought Twitter in 2022 and relaunched it to SpaceX, has created waves for his daring moves, such as restoring Donald Trump’s account, which had been permanently deleted following the January 6, 2021, Capitol assault. Trump’s return to the platform has been characterized by low activity since he founded his own social media website, Truth Social.
Musk confirmed the live discussion with Trump on his social media platform, X. Musk also extended an invitation to his fans to submit queries and remarks in the chat window.
“This is unscripted with no limits on subject matter, so it should be highly entertaining!”

The unscripted conversation, set for 8 p.m. ET on Monday, August 12, 2024, is projected to be a watershed event at the intersection of technology, politics, and social media, especially as the 2024 presidential election approaches and Trump seeks to engage with younger voters through social media influencers.
Media outlets have been buzzing with anticipation and speculation about the topics Musk and Trump might discuss.
Got my popcorn ready! As this is going to be a legendary X space for sure but the real question is will Trump officially come back to this platform after the space?
