Billionaire Elon Musk, owner of the social media platform X, will be conducting a live interview with Republican candidate Donald Trump. The interview, which was originally planned for Trump's Truth Social platform, will be broadcasted without restrictions.
Musk's support for Trump comes after the former president's assassination attempt in July. Musk's endorsement of Trump and his involvement in political controversies have raised speculation about his potential influence in a second Trump administration.
Meanwhile, Tesla, the company led by Musk, continues to benefit from government assistance despite his opposition to subsidies. Tesla has lobbied for stricter emissions limits and regulations in support of its electric vehicles.
Musk's political actions have also raised concerns about his role in spreading misinformation and his impact on elections. The upcoming interview between Musk and Trump highlights the disparity between Musk's rhetoric against subsidies and Tesla's lobbying for government benefits.
Overall, Musk's political alliances and actions are shaping a dangerous political moment, amplifying far-right voices and contributing to the spread of election misinformation.
