Elon Musk Says X's Town Hall with Donald Trump 'Will Be Interesting'

Elon Musk Says X's Town Hall with Donald Trump 'Will Be Interesting'

Elon Musk's social media platform, X (formerly Twitter), is set to host a town hall with former US President Donald Trump, three years after his suspension following the January 6 Capitol riots.

As the presumptive Republican nominee, Trump will answer submitted questions during the live-streamed event, which will also be broadcast in partnership with the cable channel NewsNation. This announcement follows Trump's conviction on all 34 counts related to a hush-money payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels.

Additionally, X plans to host a similar town hall with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who is running for president as an independent.

According to The Wall Street Journal, President Joe Biden was invited to participate in a debate or town hall but declined.

Musk shared the news from The New York Post about the town hall, captioning it, “This will be interesting.”

Details regarding the dates, locations, and moderators of these town halls have not yet been announced. X users will submit questions, but moderators, likely including at least one NewsNation host alongside other journalists, will decide the final questions, as reported by Axios.

Trump, who made headlines by dominating CNN’s Kaitlan Collins during a town hall last year, has his first debate against Biden scheduled for June 27.

The concept for these town halls was developed by X CEO Linda Yaccarino, who pitched the idea to Nexstar Media Group, NewsNation’s parent company.

Trump has posted once on X since Musk lifted his ban last year.

Reports suggest that Musk and Trump have grown closer in recent months. Musk has expressed his displeasure with Biden publicly, and he and Trump have reportedly met to discuss various issues, including cryptocurrency policy and a potential invitation for Musk to address the Republican National Convention this summer.

Bangladesh Military Expresses Discontent Over Chinese Weapons; Reports 'Sub-Standard' and Faulty Parts

  Bangladesh, a traditional buyer of Chinese military equipment, has raised grievances with Beijing regarding the delivery of defective components and technical malfunctions in its imported military hardware. This issue is not unique to Bangladesh, as other nations like Myanmar have also encountered problems with Chinese fighter jets, according to an ET report. Experts in the Chinese defense industry argue that Beijing lacks the expertise to manufacture highly sophisticated military hardware and is not yet considered a top-tier producer of modern defense equipment. They claim that much of China's weapon systems are based on outdated technology copied from the West. Developing countries often opt for Chinese weapons due to their lower cost compared to similar systems from Western countries. China sells arms through state-run export organizations like the Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC), NORINCO, and CVIC. Sources familiar with the matter told ET that the Bangladesh mil
