Five people who could return to Twitter if Elon Musk repeals permanent bans

After buying Twitter, Elon Musk is expected to make some big changes to the social media platform. The controversial businessman acquired the company this morning in a deal thought to be worth $44billion (£38bn).

Musk announced the news by posting a Tweet on the site that read "The bird is free". He also reportedly arrived at the company's headquarters carrying a kitchen sink, so that people could let the news "sink in".

Musk has already outlined his vision for Twitter, which he wants to become a "digital town square" for different ideas and beliefs and has told advertisers that ads will need to be more targeted in the future. But Musk has previously been critical of Twitter's policy of banning users from the site permanently for things they say.
