Taking to Truth Social, the 77-year-old presumptive Republican presidential nominee wrote, “On Monday night, I’ll be doing a major interview with Elon Musk—details to follow!”

Trump, who was not fond of electric vehicles, took a U-turn, declaring: “I'm for electric cars, I have to be because Elon endorsed me very strongly. So I have no choice.”

The former President also received a $60,000 Tesla Cybertruck as a present from internet influencer Adin Ross during an interview at his Mar-a-Lago home.

Is Musk donating $45million a month to Trump campaign?

After endorsing Trump, Musk also questioned Google and Meta's “shadow ban” on the GOP leader, but he refuted reports of giving the Trump campaign a $45 million monthly donation. He noted he intends to donate to the Trump campaign, but clarified that it will be substantially less.

Notably, Trump's Twitter account was suspended during the last days of his presidency in January 2021. However, Musk restored his account after buying the social media platform for $44 billion.
