If Elon Musk reverses the ban, Donald Trump says he will not return to Twitter.

  • Even if Elon Musk lifted Trump's ban, the former president indicated Monday that he would not return to Twitter.
  • "I was dissatisfied with Twitter's treatment of me. "I'm not going back on Twitter," former President Barack Obama told Joe Kernen.
  • Following the attack on the US Capitol by Trump's followers in January 2021, Twitter permanently suspended Trump from the platform.

Even if Elon Musk, the company's future owner, restored the former president's prohibition, Donald Trump told on Monday that he would not return to Twitter.

Trump told Joe Kernen, "No, I won't be coming back on Twitter."

"Within the week, I'll be on Truth Social." It is on time. We have a large number of folks who have joined up. Elon Musk is someone I admire. I really like him. He is a wonderful person. When I was at the White House, we did a lot for Twitter. I was dissatisfied with Twitter's treatment of me. "I'm not going back on Twitter," he declared.

Following the attack on the US Capitol by Trump's followers in January 2021, Twitter permanently suspended Trump from the platform. The decision was made after the disturbance on Jan. 6 "because to the possibility of further encouragement of violence," according to the firm. On Twitter, Trump had more than 80 million followers.

Following Musk's announcement that he was interested in acquiring the company in part to make it a platform for free speech, questions about whether Trump would be allowed back on the platform surfaced.

"It's really incredibly crucial," Musk said in a recent TED interview, "that people have the reality and the idea that they can speak freely within the confines of the law." Musk has stated that he opposes permanent bans and prefers suspensions. Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has frequently used Twitter to crack jokes and promote his commercial interests, ranging from his companies to cryptocurrency he's interested in.

Trump has only made a single post on Truth Social, which bills itself as a free speech alternative to Big Tech platforms. It is part of Trump Media & Technology Group, which is in the process of merging with Digital World Acquisition Corp. On Monday, after Twitter said it had accepted Musk's plan to take the firm private, the price dropped over 13%.

What was the reason behind Donald Trump's Twitter ban?

After his supporters stormed the US Capitol, which he had first failed to denounce, Twitter stated in January 2021 that Mr Trump had been suspended permanently for breaching rules on glorifying violence.

Twitter quoted two remarks from Mr Trump at the time, amid fears that another revolt could occur on the day of Joe Biden's inauguration.

"To all of those who have asked, I will not be attending the Inauguration on January 20th," the first stated.

"The 75,000,000 wonderful American Patriots who voted for me, AMERICA FIRST, and MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN will have a GIANT VOICE long into the future," a second added. In no way, shape, or form will they be disrespected or treated improperly!!!"

"These two tweets must be read in the context of broader events in the country and the ways in which the President's statements can be mobilised by different audiences, including to incite violence, as well as the pattern of behaviour from this account in recent weeks," Twitter said in a blog post at the time.

"After comparing the language in these tweets to our anti-glorification of violence policy, we have found that these tweets are in violation of the anti-glorification of violence policy, and the user @realDonaldTrump should be permanently suspended from the service."

"Under our glorification of violence policy, which aims to prevent the glorification of violence that could inspire others to replicate violent acts, we assessed the two tweets referenced above and determined that they were highly likely to encourage and inspire people to replicate the criminal acts that occurred at the US Capitol."
