Musk said on Tuesday that the social media platform's decision to ban Trump was morally bad and that he would reverse the decision when he took over.
I think that it was a mistake to ban Donald Trump, according to Musk, who spoke remotely at the Future of the Car conference.
He said he would reverse the permaban.
Trump has been able to spread his views through press releases and his own social platform. Data shows that since Trump has been banned on platforms, users do not talk about him as much.
At the event, the billionaire spoke about the bans and suspensions. Musk is fine with consequences for breaking platform policy, but only on a temporary basis. He spoke against permanent bans like the one that was doled out to Trump by the social media site.
Musk argued that we should not have permabans. If they say something that is illegal or destructive to the world, then there should be a timeout, a temporary suspension, or that particulartweet made invisible or have very limited traction.
According to Musk, the founder and former CEO of the social media company, Jack Dorsey, believes that permanent bans undermine trust in the company as a town square where everyone can voice their opinion.
reinstating Trump is not a thing that will definitely happen because Musk doesn't own the social network.
It may sound like Musk is trying to get Trump to return to the service, but that is not necessarily the case. In a recent interview with Fox News, Trump claimed he had no plans to start using his account again even if Musk got his account back. According to Trump, he intends to remain on his own social media platform, Truth Social.
Whether or not Trump is telling the truth is not known. The man who was banned from the platform lost his lawsuit in an attempt to get his account back on the platform.
Trump will no longer have to resort to legal action if the acquisition goes through. It seems like Musk will bring him back. That may be too attractive of an offer for Trump to turn down.
