With Elon Musk on Twitter, it looks like Donald Trump could get his account back with more than 80 million followers.
Recent statements by the CEO of Tesla refer that the veto could be removed from the former President of the United States.
Donald Trump’s return to Twitter has been a topic of conversation in recent hours and Elon Musk, the new owner of the social network, already has an opinion on the matter.
During his days on Twitter, the former President of the United States he had 89 million followers, while on his own social network, Truth Social, he barely has two million followers.
It is clear that his power and influence, at least on social networks, has diminished considerably, especially since Donald Trump used to be quite active on Twitter, which is why, finally, he was. canceled and removed from the social network now owned by Elon Musk.
Now times have changed and Twitter was bought by the South African tycoon and CEO of Tesla, who acquired the company for the amount of 44 billion dollarspurchase that became official a few days ago through a statement published in various media.
“Twitter’s board of directors undertook a thoughtful and comprehensive process to evaluate Elon’s proposal with a deliberate focus on value, certainty and funding,” Twitter Independent Board Chairman Bret Taylor said in a statement, calling the deal “the best way forward for Twitter shareholders”
Elon Musk’s idea, as he himself has explained, is to make Twitter more profitable and turn it into a space where, he suggests, freedom of expression is a kind of banner, which is why he has in mind a proposal that could make some users return to the platform.
Through his Twitter account, the tycoon hinted that he would begin to charge a “small cost” to certain users of the platform:
“Ultimately, the downfall of the Masons was to give away their stone-cutting services for nothing. Twitter will always be free for casual users, but there may be a small cost for business/government users“, Said the CEO of SpaceX.
Musk on Donald Trump’s return to Twitter
Taking these statements into account, it is possible that Donald Trump will return to Twitter, as mentioned by Elon Musk himself.
During a Financial Times conference where the future of the automobile was discussed, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX revealed that he will withdraw the veto that Twitter imposed on Donald Trump and return his account.
Let’s remember that the now former President of the United States was removed from the application after inciting violencejust before a group of people invaded the capitol and destroyed the place.
Now, with what the considered richest man in the world has declared, everything indicates that Trump would be returning to his Twitter account, but why?
It should be noted that, according to Musk, Twitter’s idea was to take away the voice of the former US president, which did not happen, since he created his own social network, Truth Social, from which he has even begun to be present. Also, according to Musk, permanent bans should focus on bots or scammer accounts.
