On Monday, former President Trump posted to the social platform X for the first time in nearly a year.
He shared a campaign advertisement just hours before he is scheduled to sit for an interview with the platform’s owner, Elon Musk.
The advertisement, which spans from Trump’s ascension to the presidency to the subsequent legal disputes he has encountered, has been prominently displayed on Trump’s other social media platforms in recent weeks.
In less than an hour, the X post received over 4.8 million views, with over 50,000 reposts and 21,000 comments.
Trump has only posted on X twice since his account was suspended in the aftermath of the Capitol disturbance on January 6, 2021, and was reinstated the following year.
On August 24, 2023, he shared an image of his mug photo following his surrender in Fulton County, Ga., earlier that day. This was his sole subsequent post.
Musk, who was accountable for reactivating Trump’s account subsequent to his acquisition of X in 2022, is scheduled to conduct an interview with the former president on Monday.
The interview will commence at 8 p.m. EDT and will be broadcast live on Trump’s official account.
Musk’s decision to reinstate Trump’s account in 2022 was a component of his revised strategy for the platform’s content moderation policies.
Trump also made several other posts after his initial post:
