Former US President Donald Trump has announced his return to X with a live interview with Elon Musk, the platform’s owner.
Gatekeepers News reports that Trump’s last post on X was in August 2023, featuring a mugshot after his release from jail. He was banned from the platform for over two years following the January 6, 2021, US Capitol attack.
Musk reinstated Trump’s account after acquiring X, citing his commitment to “free speech.”
In his comeback post, Trump shared a video highlighting his time in office and referencing the legal challenges he faces.
“They’re not coming after me; they’re coming after you, and I just happen to be standing in their way, and I will never be moving,” he said.
The interview with Musk is scheduled for 8 pm eastern time (1 am local time) on X Spaces today. Trump has 88 million followers on X, while Musk has over 193 million.
