If he takes the reins of the social network, Musk said he would reverse the ban on the account of the former president.

Musk said that it was a mistake because it alienated a large part of the country.

I would reverse the permaban, but this is not a thing that will definitely happen, he noted before adding that he doesn't own a social networking site yet.

The CEO of the two companies had differing opinions about the company's decision to ban the president after he appeared to encourage insurrectionists.

Musk said that it doesn't end Trump's voice.

Musk said that he would bring the former president back to the platform and that he was interested in reducing the left-leaning bias on the social network.

He said that it fails to build trust in the rest of the United States.

The site that Musk may soon own has a lot to say about the debacle. Here are some of the best reactions.

When it comes to the banning of the former president, people will miss the forest for the trees. This will bring it back to Earth.

There is more on the topic of Musk's followers on the social media site. The man is trying to destroy the thing.
