What will happen to Donald Trump after the purchase of the social media site by Musk? The account of the former president was banned on January 8th, 2021, due to the risk of more violence. During an interview conducted remotely during the Financial Times' Future of the Car conference and livestreamed on YouTube, the current CEO of both companies responded to a direct question about the ban and what will happen when he owns a company.

Musk said that this is not a thing that will happen, but that he would reverse it.

He said that the ban was a mistake, as italienated a large part of the country, and did not result in Donald Trump not having a voice. Musk pointed out that, at least so far, Trump claims he will only use his own app and won't come back to boring social media.
