Elon Musk already has a long list of plans for Twitter, despite not actually owning the company yet. One of his big ideas is un-banning Donald J. Trump from the platform — a plan so unsurprising it barely elicited a sigh of exasperation from the Input team’s Slack. Musk is all about “free speech,” after all.
“Permanent bans should be extremely rare and really reserved for accounts that are bots, or scam, spam accounts,” Musk said in a keynote interview for a Financial Times conference. “I think 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.”
