#musk trump

Shortly after laying down its plans for Twitter after a multi-billion dollar takeover, Elon Musk said that he would be willing to reinstate Donal Trump's account back to Twitter. In an interview conducted by the Financial Times' in their Future of the Car conference (Timestamp: 25:26), Musk was asked if he has plans on letting Donald Trump back on Twitter. Trump was initially banned from Twitter last January 2021 due to tweets that had incited the storming of the US Capitol building.

Musk stated that they should be "extremely rare" and reserved for "bots or spam scam accounts". He vocalized his opinion that it was not correct and a mistake in banning Trump from Twitter since it had ultimately alienated a part of the country that had supported him. Musk made this clear  by stating that the decision to ban Trump was a "morally bad decision", "foolish in the extreme", and "flat out stupid". Musk then stated that he still doesn't own Twitter yet and that it's not something that would definitely happen.
