Executive Chief Tesla Elon Musk said on Tuesday that he would reverse the Twitter ban on former US President Donald Trump, when speaking in the future Financial Times in the future of the car conference.
Musk has signed an $ 44 billion agreement to obtain a social media platform and the plan is still unclear. He called himself “Absolutical Freedom of speech” and signaled that there would be less moderation on the site.
On Tuesday, Musk that he and one of the founders of Twitter Jack Dorsey believed that permanent ban must be “very rare” and provided for accounts that operate bots or spread spam.
The suspension of Trump’s account, which has more than 88 million followers, silenced his main megafon before the end of his term of office and following the years of debate about how social media companies must moderate the accounts of strong global leaders.
Trump was permanently suspended from Twitter shortly after the January 6 riots in the U.S. Capitol. Twitter quoted “the risk of further infiltration of violence” in his decision.
The decision strengthened his views among people about political rights, said Musk, said the prohibition was “morally and foolish.”
Trump previously told Fox News that he would not return to Twitter even if Musk bought a platform and returned his account, and said he would use his social media application called Truth Social, a platform like Twitter launched on the Apple App Store in Lat February and at Where the user posts truth” instead of tweet.
This platform is owned by Trump Media & Technology Group, led by Devin Nunes, a former member of the Republican congress. There were no direct comments from Trump’s spokesman.
During the conference, Musk said the agreement to acquire Twitter could be done in two to three months in the “Best Case Scenario.” But he added that Twitter had not submitted a proxy for the ballot of shareholders to approve the agreement, and there were still extraordinary questions that needed to be resolved.
Earlier on Tuesday, Twitter shares descended to the level that indicated the stock market took a view for the first time that it was impossible for Musk to make an acquisition of $ 44 billion, as he initially agreed.
