Donald Trump prepares for Twitter return, Elon Musk reacts
Donald Trump is considering a return to social media. According to the company's "Twitter Files" series, the prioritization of free speech, values that were evidently suppressed, was one of the changes made by Musk. A large part of the Right in the United States will be on Truth Social. This could end up being worse than having a single forum where everyone can debate. Truth Social, a platform he created after being banned from Twitter, may or may not make it.

The door was open for the return of the former U. S. President. In an interview with the Financial Times, Musk said he would allow Donald Trump to return to Twitter once his deal went through. He thinks that it was a mistake to ban Donald Trump because he didn't have a voice in the country.
A large part of the Right in the United States will be on Truth Social. This could end up being worse than having a single forum where everyone can debate. I think the answer is that I would reverse the permanent ban. You can read the whole thing here. In November, after purchasing the platform, Musk held a poll on Donald Trump's account.

Donald Trump did not want to return to the platform. I don't think it's a good idea, they have a lot of problems at Twitter, you see what's going on. He said during a virtual appearance before the Republican Jewish Coalition that it may or may not make it. He said he would stay on Truth Social, a platform he created a few months after being banned from Twitter. The former president is going to run for president again.

A few days prior to the poll, he announced his intention to run. On Thursday, Musk pointed out that companies were missing out on a chance to reach customers. Although the list of companies the CEO highlighted were automakers, it was a nod to the role that social media networks play in advertising. This works for politicians as well.

NBC News reported on Friday that Donald Trump is getting ready to return to social media. According to a letter written by his campaign, the ban on President Trump's account on Facebook has distorted the public discourse. Although the publication didn't include whether or not Donald Trump is planning to return to Twitter, it cited an anonymous "Trump confidant" who spoke of conversations held with the former president.

It would be interesting to see how the Biden administration reacts. The administration might try to weaponize federal agencies. There is a clear indicator of how far the federal agencies were willing to go in order to get someone suspended.
