Former President Donald Trump is returning to X after his Twitter account was banned following the events of January 6, 2021. Musk announced Trump’s return yesterday, stating on X, “Live conversation on 𝕏 with @realDonaldTrump & me at 8pm ET tomorrow”
Although Elon Musk reinstated the @realDonaldTrump account shortly after he purchased the social networking website, prior to today, Trump primarily used his social-media platform Truth Social following the ban of his Twitter account — now rebranded as “𝕏.”
Trump’s official presidential campaign account on X also announced the interview, stating on X, “President Trump will be interviewed by Elon Musk TONIGHT at 8 pm Eastern on 𝕏. Like this post to be notified when the interview begins. IT WILL BE THE INTERVIEW OF THE CENTURY! MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! #TrumpOnX”
The first post to the account after being reinstated was Trump’s August 24, 2023 booking photograph, followed by a presidential campaign video shared this morning:
