If the deal to buy the social network closes, Musk said he would allow Mr. Trump to return to the site.
I think it was a mistake to ban Donald Trump, because it made him unpopular with a large part of the country, and he didn't have a voice.
In the wake of the attack on the U.S. Capitol building, Mr. Trump was barred from using social media. Mr. Trump had violated policies and risked inciting violence among his supporters. Mr. Trump was banned by Facebook for similar reasons.
The decision to ban Mr. Trump was morally wrong and stupid, Mr. Musk said.
Mr. Musk is in the process of completing a takeover bid for Twitter, which he made last month. Over the next three to six months, the acquisition is expected to close.
He didn't say how he would handle Mr. Trump's ban. He has said that he wants to expand free speech on the platform and that he believes that the platform has been influenced by Democratic politics.
Even if Mr. Musk lifted the ban, Mr. Trump would not rejoin the platform.
