Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, who is set to acquire Twitter after purchasing it for $44 billion, confirmed Tuesday that he would reverse the platform's permanent ban on former President Donald Trump's account.
"I've talked with Jack Dorsey about this and he and I are of the same mind, which is that permanent bans should be extremely rare, and really reserved for accounts that are bots or spam/scam accounts, where there is just no legitimacy to the account at all," said Musk. "I do think it was not correct to ban Donald Trump. That was a mistake because it alienated a large part of the country and did not ultimately result in Donald Trump not having a voice. He is now going to be on Truth Social, as will a large part of the right in the United States."
