Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk has extended an invitation to U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris for an interview, following his recent conversation with Donald Trump on his social media platform, X.
Musk announced on Tuesday that he is open to interviewing the Democratic presidential candidate, with the U.S. elections scheduled for November 5. "I’d be happy to host Kamala on X Spaces as well," he posted on his account after having interviewed former President and current Republican candidate, Donald Trump.
Musk, the owner of X, formerly known as Twitter, held an almost two-hour interview with Trump on the platform’s Spaces feature. The audio-only discussion covered a wide range of topics, even including a rare compliment from Trump to Harris, comparing her to his wife Melania Trump and calling her a "beautiful woman."
After the interview, Musk returned to X and offered Harris the same opportunity. Harris, who has faced numerous criticisms for avoiding interviews since President Joe Biden withdrew from the race, has yet to respond.
In Trump's case, he reactivated his X profile on Monday after being suspended in 2021 following the Capitol riot by his supporters. In his return, he posted a two-minute and 31-second campaign ad attacking the Biden administration and promising to "Make America Great Again" (MAGA), his campaign slogan.
