Elon Musk announced that after his planned Twitter takeover, he would like to offer former US President Donald Trump a platform on Twitter again. The decision to ban D. Trump was “ morally wrong and just plain stupid ,” Musk criticized in a video interview at an event hosted by the “ Financial Times ” on May 10, 2022.

Trump's Twitter account was suspended, we reported here , after he expressed sympathy for his supporters who stormed the Capitol in Washington on January 6, 2021. In the weeks before, D. Trump had fueled the mood with baseless claims that an election victory against Joe Biden had been stolen from him through fraud.

Donald Trump has recently said that he doesn't want to go back to Twitter, even if he's allowed to. However, his presence on Twitter, where he recently had more than 80 million followers, could be very important for a possible candidacy in the 2024 presidential election. Trump is trying to build his own social media platform , but it is struggling with startup problems.

Musk said Trump's ban from Twitter was a mistake

Musk said Trump's ban from Twitter was a mistake because a large portion of the US population disagreed with it. And it didn't mean that the ex-president was no longer able to make his voice heard.

It will take some time

It will be some time before it becomes clear whether Musk will actually get Twitter. Musk agreed on a deal worth around $44 billion with the Twitter board of directors, but is still dependent on enough shareholders wanting to give him their shares. Twitter and Musk want to complete the acquisition by the end of 2022.
