Elon Musk has prepared an unfiltered and transparent interview with former US President Donald Trump.
The billionaire entrepreneur is due to interview the Republican presidential candidate in an event that could add a lot of drama and surprise to the already lively build-up to the US election.
Known for his bold moves, Musk promised that this interview would be different from the usual edited versions you see on mainstream media. Instead, he posted on his platform X: 'This is unscripted with no limits on subject matter, so should be highly entertaining!'
He’s also letting viewers submit their own questions, adding: 'If you have specific questions & comments, post them under the chat.'

The post has already reached two million views so who knows how many will tune into the interview when it goes live.
If you're wondering where the live stream will be available, look no other than X (formerly Twitter).
Of course, this comes as no surprise as Musk has been treating his social media platform as a place to host exclusive content since he bought it in 2022.
He shared: 'Live conversation on 𝕏 with @realDonaldTrump & me at 8pm ET tomorrow'. This is midnight GMT on Tuesday for those in the UK.
The dynamic interview could provide the former president an opportunity to seize the limelight and help him reach a new audience beyond his usual supporters at rallies and on Fox News.
Musk hopes to avoid any technical difficulties during the interview, writing: 'Am going to do some system scaling tests tonight & tomorrow in advance of the conversation.'
Despite Trump’s preference for his own platform Truth Social, he and Musk have shown a lot of mutual support for each other.
'Elon called me, as you know he endorsed me full-throated, a great endorsement,' Trump said. 'I respect Elon a lot, he respects me. And it's not easy for him to endorse, it takes courage to endorse people. Many people have courage and many people don't.'
Musk has also become more openly supportive of Trump and his views, using X to push his own political stance.
Last week, the SpaceX founder shared a deepfake video of a Kamala Harris campaign ad which he later had to confirm was a parody. However, it's caused concerns about the risk of AI technology spreading misinformation in politics.
