Can Trump's X Interview with Elon Musk Boost His Struggling Campaign?

Elon Musk is set to interview Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on the X social media platform, formerly known as Twitter, on Monday at 8 p.m. Eastern Time. The interview comes as Trump's campaign struggles, with Vice President Kamala Harris closing the poll gap and energizing Democratic voters. This event could allow Trump to reach a broader audience beyond his usual conservative base. However, previous events on the platform have faced technical issues. The interview will be hosted on Trump's official X account, which was reinstated after being suspended following the January 6, 2021, Capitol attack.
