Tech entrepreneur and free speech advocate Elon Musk will hold a live video town hall event with former President Donald Trump after he was convicted of 34 counts of falsifying businesses records on Thursday.
Citing an individual familiar with the plans, the Wall Street Journal, the first outlet to report on Musk's town hall event with the presumptive GOP presidential nominee, reported that X is "joining with the television network NewsNation to air" presidential candidate town hall events live on both platforms.
X users will reportedly be able to submit questions for the candidates, and so far X is only planning such events for presidential candidates.
"This will be interesting," Musk remarked of the town hall in a Friday morning post to X.
A jury found Trump guilty on all counts after two days of deliberations in his New York criminal trial on Thursday.
Trump was found guilty on 34 counts of falsifying business records related to payments to Michael Cohen, who had paid Stormy Daniels $130,000 ahead of the 2016 election.
Musk reacted to Trump's conviction in a post to X early Friday morning, writing, "Indeed, great damage was done today to the public’s faith in the American legal system."
"If a former President can be criminally convicted over such a trivial matter – motivated by politics, rather than justice – then anyone is at risk of a similar fate," he added.
The Wall Street Journal reported that President Biden's re-election campaign declined the invitation to appear for a town hall with Musk. A similar event is reportedly being planned with independent presidential candidate Robert Kennedy Jr.

They are coming for Musk next.
The first step to DJT rejoining Twitter. Just in time, too.
Musk reacted to Trump’s conviction on X: “...... great damage was done to the public’s faith in the American legal system. If a President can be criminally convicted over such a trivial matter – motivated by politics, rather than justice – then anyone is at risk of a similar fate.”
Even you, Elon.

Even you, Elon.
Hope his books are in order.
Hope so......../s
The legal system has been worthy of scorn for decades.
When justice is administered by criminals only the innocent are found guilty.
“he was convicted of 34 counts of falsifying businesses records “
Every “news” story about Trump will include those words from now on. Mission accomplished.
Musk’s “x” still censors.. I got a “week or more” time out for defending trump.
If they figure out what Trump did last night, they won’t.
This gave him 6 points in the polls and 39 million. if that keeps happening the left/media will memory hole it quickly.
A live town hall? Wonder if this will work better than when he hosted DeSantis’ announcement. Maybe let RSBN host it for him, share it on X/Twitter, etc. Use some tried and true technology instead of beta testing for such an important event.
Yes, Trump needs to get back on X/Twitter, continue with Truth Social if he insists, but get a broader platform.
Indeed. In other news, Fat Man and Little Boy did "great damage" to Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
“They are coming for Musk next.”
What do you mean, “next”? They have been working on him since X. You won’t find a day on the Sludge Report where there isn’t some negative article about Tesla linked. All the lib websites are doing this as a concerted effort. Before X, he could do no wrong (even when he WAS wrong, due to fanbois).
Won't matter, in BananAmerica.
They'll get another wetback cur like Juan "Cartel Stooge" Merchan to railroad him for "felony jaywalking".
They’ve already gone after his businesses.
IMHO there are a few historical individuals in the world today.
Musk and Trump are two such individuals.
Biden could potentially be known to future generations but along with names such as Caligula and Quisling.
The names of most people who think they are so important will be lost to time.
