The claim

Elon Musk allegedly wrote to the Twitter board asking the Twitter board to unblock Trump.

Our conclusion

The claim comes from an article on a satirical site.

Since Elon Musk took over , relevant accounts there have been happy to be able to spread hate, hate speech and false reports again, perhaps without the threat of being blocked, since Musk, according to his own statement, is a defender of freedom of speech and therefore also wants to allow controversial reports and opinions (which is why Russian propaganda sites and channels are not blocked ).
One of the most controversial Twitter users was Donald Trump, former President of the USA, who spread a lot of false claims and whose account was blocked - but Elon Musk is reportedly demanding that Trump's account be reactivated.
However, this is the claim of a satirical site.

The claim circulating

The claim became very widespread thanks to a tweet that has currently been liked over 102,000 times and shared over 14,800 times:

Elon Musk calls for Trump’s reinstatement at Twitter in letter to board ,” the claim goes. Please note that no source is given for the claim, but tens of thousands of Twitter users believe and spread it without a doubt!

Basis: The article from a satirical site

The “Patriot for Trump” most likely got its claim from a satirical site that used the exact same wording and photo of Musk and Trump in an article. But he didn't link the page for good reason, because the satire reference is clearly visible there:

In the site's " About Us, " Tater Report also makes it abundantly clear that the news is made up:

"Taterreport.com is a subsidiary of America's Last Line of Defense parody, satire and foolery network, or as Snopes called it before they lost their war on satire: trash news."

Conclusion

Many are currently wondering whether Donald Trump will have an account on Twitter again, but according to “ Fox News ”, the TV station that has always reported very pro-Trump, he is not interested in it and would rather stick to his own “ Truth Social “ network.
In any case, it is clear that the claim that Musk is demanding that the Twitter board restore Trump's account is pure satire.
