So this is not a sensational interview. The gentlemen chatted for two hours on the X Livestream on Musk’s platform. That’s significant because Trump has been banned for so long. His account is now back, but Trump has mainly posted notes about the upcoming interview. He still posts his personal messages on his own social media, Truth Social.
In January 2021, Trump was banned from Twitter for not sufficiently distancing himself from the violent mob that attacked the Capitol in Washington that same month. It remains to be seen whether he will be active on X after the interview. “I don’t know if it’s a comeback,” Postma says.

All points of Trump’s campaign were discussed, Postma observed. He watched the conversation at its peak – together with 1.3 million people. ‘Trump was swayed point to point, while Musk nodded yes.’ At one point Trump talked about 60 million viewers, but that sounded disappointing. ‘Although 1.3 million people are too many. “Trump has reached unreachable people with CNN and Fox News,” Postma said.

He said in the interview that Trump wants to abolish the Department of Education. Musk said it could be done. Postma says the presidential candidate responded positively. “He likes how Musk deals with people leaving his companies.”
