In preparation for the interview, Trump posted a campaign video on X, marking his first activity on the platform in a significant amount of time. Trump’s account had been permanently banned in 2021 due to concerns about “risk of further incitement of violence” following the events at the U.S. Capitol. However, Elon Musk reinstated Trump’s account upon acquiring X.
