Tesla CEO Elon Musk appears ready to host a town hall for presidential candidate Donald Trump on his social media platform, X.
A date has yet to be confirmed, per sources cited by the Wall Street Journal, but it is meant to replace a failed attempt to host a debate between Trump and President Joe Biden. Instead, Biden announced that he would participate in two debates against his rival hosted by CNN and ABC News.
Musk appeared to confirm reports of the town hall in an X post, sharing a link to a news story with the caption, “This will be interesting.”
This comes three years after the platform banned Trump during the fallout from the Jan. 6 riots. Musk later bought the platform and reinstated Trump, but the former president has largely stayed away from the platform, opting instead to use his own Truth Social.
Musk previously hosted a livestream with Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL), who used the opportunity to announce his presidential campaign at the time and is expected to hold one with independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Musk was not pleased with the guilty verdict in Trump’s New York hush money trial, saying, “great damage was done today to the public’s faith in the American legal system.”

“If a former President can be criminally convicted over such a trivial matter – motivated by politics, rather than justice – then anyone is at risk of a similar fate,” he added.
The live stream is also reportedly set to air on NewsNation.
