Donald Trump Breaks X Silence with Campaign Videos, Hypes Elon Musk Interview

Former U.S. President Donald Trump is back on the social media platform that once booted him -- breaking a year-long silence on X to drop new campaign videos, and hyping his next big interview.

A two-and-a-half-minute ad that posted Monday morning not only serves to promote Trump's campaign, but ya can't ignore the timing of him using X after such a long break. It's no coincidence X owner Elon Musk will be interviewing Trump on a live stream Monday evening ... which will be hosted on Trump's X page.

Trump typically saves his social posts for his own platform, Truth Social, or TikTok -- and hasn't posted on X since August 2023, when he proudly uploaded his Georgia mug shot, and wrote, "Never surrender" ... raising millions for his campaign, in the process.

Since posting his campaign vid ... #TrumpOnX has been trending, and he's posted several more times, including a straight-up promo for his face-to-face with Elon. Plug, plug, plug!

It's debatable who's benefitting more from Trump's wave of X posts -- his campaign or X, which Elon himself admits is struggling to keep advertisers.

Back in 2021, Trump's phone was basically reduced to a brick days after the January 6 riots -- when Facebook, TikTok, Twitter (you know, the platform Elon renamed X), IG, and other social media sites restricted or outright banned him from posting.
