San Francisco, California - Elon Musk is set to interview Donald Trump live on X Monday night, with the SpaceX CEO promising an "unscripted" and "highly entertaining" conversation.

As the former president's re-election bid looks to take back momentum from his new challenger Kamala Harris, Musk will give Trump a live platform for an interview with "no limits" on its topics.

The tech billionaire offered X users a chance to share their questions for Trump under a post shared Sunday.

Ahead of the interview, Trump has become active on the platform formerly known as Twitter, from which he was banned after being accused of using it to incite the January 6 storming of the US Capitol.

Musk, following his takeover of the social media platform in 2022, reinstated Trump's account, but the Republican presidential candidate has opted to stick to his own social media site, Truth Social.

Despite vows not to formally endorse a candidate or donate money to any presidential campaign, Musk professed his love for Trump following the assassination attempt against him at a rally in Pennsylvania last month.The Tesla mogul has since vowed to pour millions into Trump's campaign.

What the two are calling the "interview of the century" appears to be just the latest effort by Musk to get his base onboard the MAGA train, but what exactly will go down?

Further details about the right-wing team-up remain unclear, but things are set to kick off on X at 8 PM ET. Refresh this page for live updates from TAG24 NEWS!

Ahead of the big debut, Musk reiterated that his use of "conversation" in his pinned post about the Trump chat was "deliberate."

"This is so that people understand how @realDonaldTrump talks when it's a conversation, rather than an interview," he wrote.

"Nobody is quite themselves in an interview, so it's hard to understand what they're really like."

As the clock struck 8:00 PM, X users attempting to tune into the conversation on either Musk or Trump's page were greeted by – you guessed it – an error message.

The X Spaces stream said simply, "Details not available."

With the Space still unable to load after nearly 20 minutes, Musk updated his followers on the crash, claiming the platform was under attack.

"There appears to be a massive DDOS attack on 𝕏. Working on shutting it down," he said, referring to a denial-of-service cyberattack caused by flooding a system's server with traffic.

The technical difficulties derailed the original format of the interview as Musk subsequently confirmed the chat would move to a "smaller" Space.

"We will proceed with the smaller number of concurrent listeners at 8:30 ET and then post the unedited audio immediately thereafter," he wrote.

What this smaller group meant was not immediately clear, as the original Space was then opened, but users were met with some classic elevator music before the former president muted himself and Musk left the Space completely.

With the Space finally launching properly around 8:40 ET, Musk kicked things off by claiming that the cyberattack is proof of the "opposition" seeking to silence Trump.

"As this massive attack illustrates, there's a lot of opposition to people just hearing what President Trump has to say," he said.

Musk continued on to explain that the conversation was intended for listeners to get a better sense of Trump's "vibe" and was primarily aimed at undecided voters.

The chat opened with a question about the attempt on Trump's life at a rally in Pennslyvania last month, but many users were quick to note that the former president didn't sound quite like himself, as he appeared to be speaking with a lisp.

Nevertheless, Trump went on to describe the assassination attempt in great detail, calling the experience "not pleasant" and revealing that he immediately knew he had been hit by a bullet.

He later confirmed that he would be returning to Butler in October, quipping that he'd begin the rally with, "As I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted."

Trump reiterated many of his common campaign points as he continued his anti-migrant rhetoric, now claiming that the US has been receiving the "non-productive people" of other countries.

The affectionate rapport between the pair was made clear as Musk backed all of Trump's arguments and even compared the US-Mexico border to World War Z while decrying the current administration's immigration policies.

Roughly an hour in, it became clear that the "interview of the century" was more akin to a one-attendee rally, with Trump repeating his usual talking points.

Though he had encouraged users to share their own questions for Trump, Musk largely stepped away from taking on the role of an interviewer, instead expressing agreement with Trump's points as the Republican presidential nominee steered the topic of the conversation.

Musk took his adoration of Trump even further as he offered to take on a role in the administration should the former president be re-elected.

After proposing a "government efficiency commission" to assess the spending of taxpayer money, Musk offered to take on a role in it himself, which Trump said he would "love."

Elsewhere in the chat, Trump shared his aim to shut down the Department of Education and relinquish its power back to the states – a controversial stance that was touted in Project 2025, which Trump previously disavowed.

Trump again touted claims that he is being targeted by an unfair legal system, particularly in New York, where he was convicted on 34 felony charges in May.

The pair's bromance reached new heights by the end of the chat, with the two again fawning over one another and Trump admitting that Musk's endorsement held particular significance to him.

Musk did, however, claim to be a "moderate Democrat" as he denied being a far-right figure despite his affection for Trump.

And with that, the two-hour-plus Space came to a close, with Trump offering to meet Musk in Venezuela next time because it would be "far safer" than in the US.
