Is that the controversial former president of the United States He assured that he would not return to the social networkalthough it is now in the hands of a South African-born magnate.
Hours before the formalization of the agreement between Twitter and Elon Musk, Trump was consulted foxnews on whether he envisioned a possible return to the platform, in the event that it finally remains in the hands of the Tesla and SpaceX CEO. And to everyone’s surprise, the businessman sure notand that he intended to promote Pravda, his own social network.

The bottom line is, no, I’m not going back to Twitter.“Former President of the United States said. It will be necessary to see if the decision will be final, or if Elon Musk himself will intervene and be able to cancel it.
With the acquisition of Twitter now complete, its new owner has assured that its intention is to “unleash its full potential” with a focus on protecting freedom of expression. However, external attacks to restore Donald Trump to the platform are not new.
Donald Trump doesn’t want to return to Twitter
Donald Trump was permanently banned from Twitter in early 2021 after storming Capitol Hill. The social network assured that the then President of the United States incited to violence and that this constitutes a violation of their rules. Before the decisive decision, the Republican Party politician had already received several warnings from the service.
Since then, Trump has been trying to build his mass of more than 80 million followers across multiple platforms. He tried it on Parler, Gabe (including a hack) and finally led to his own Truth platform. It is worth saying that in none of them she was very successful. In addition, the businessman announced that he would sue Google, Facebook and Twitter for “illegal and unconstitutional censorship.”
However, Twitter had enough work to limit the presence of Donald Trump; is that, in addition to blocking his personal account, the social network also blocked several profiles that were dedicated to the dissemination of messages of an ambiguous nature.
When Elon Musk entered Twitter as a shareholder, some in Trump’s circle saw it as the perfect bailout opportunity. And the republican “pressure” only intensified over the days.; without going any further, the official report of party members in the House of Representatives was published on Monday morning. “This is a great week for the release of Donald Trump,” the tweet addressed directly to the South African tycoon said.
The relationship between Elon Musk and Donald Trump has historically been cordial. Although they disagree on key issues such as climate change, they have retained much of their opinion. In fact, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX joined Trump’s policy and strategy advisory committee before he even got to the White House, though he resigned in 2017 when the president withdrew the United States from the Paris Accord.
