Summary
“I do think it was not correct to ban Donald Trump, I think that was a mistake,” Musk, who is in the process of buying the social media company, said at a Financial Times conference. And if Trump gets back on Twitter, the rationale for Truth Social – always somewhat flimsy – totally disappears. “I am not going on Twitter, I am going to stay on TRUTH,” Trump said in the immediate aftermath of reports of Musk purchasing the social media giant in April. It would have been colossally dumb of Trump to abandon Truth Social before he even knew a) if Musk was actually going to buy Twitter and b) if Musk planned to reinstate him. CNN’s Gabby Orr reported Tuesday that according to a person close to Trump, the former President is committed to Truth Social for now, but is polling allies on whether he should rejoin Twitter ahead of a potential 2024 White House run.
