Trump Declares Interview Scheduled with Elon Musk on August 12th

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump announced via his social media platform, Truth Social, that he will be doing a major interview with Elon Musk on Monday night, August 12. Trump expressed his support for electric vehicles, attributing it to Elon Musk’s endorsement. Last month, Elon Musk denied pledging a monthly $45 million donation to a pro-Trump super PAC. Trump raised concerns about the feasibility and costs of transitioning to electric vehicles and criticized the expenditure on charging infrastructure in the Midwest. He also criticized green energy policies, labeling them a “scam” and pledging to redirect funds to traditional infrastructure projects.
