Twitter now in ‘sane’ hands with Elon Musk, says Donald Trump

ELON Musk plans to take on the role of chief executive at Twitter after completing his acquisition of the platform and will abolish permanent bans on users, it has been reported.

Musk will replace Parag Agrawal, who was one of several senior executives to be ousted as the takeover was completed, but may eventually cede the role in the longer term, according to a report from Bloomberg.

The Tesla boss also intends to get rid of permanent bans on user accounts because he does not believe in lifelong suspensions, the report said, meaning high-profile and polarising figures who had been previously banned, including former US president Donald Trump, would be allowed to return – but it remains unclear when this could happen.
