Donald Trump approves the acquisition of Twitter by Elon Musk. While the head of Tesla and SpaceX completed the operation on October 27, the former US president, banned “for life” from the platform for almost two years, welcomes this acquisition.
“I’m so happy that Twitter is now in good hands and no longer run by a crazed, manic radical left who hates our country. Twitter needs to work hard to get rid of all the bots and fake accounts that have damaged it so much.” “The platform can get smaller, but it will get better. I like the truth,” Donald Trump said on Truth Social, his own social network.
The temptation of 90 million subscribers
Donald Trump’s position regarding the presence of many fake accounts on the platform is in direct support of Elon Musk, who had tried – in vain – to use this argument to cancel the transaction. Donald Trump was banned from Twitter the day after January 6, 2021, when his supporters, led by his social media posts, stormed the Capitol after his loss to Joe Biden.
Now, the main question concerns a possible return of Donald Trump on Twitter. Since his digital exile, the former leader has created his own social network, modeled on how Twitter works and called Truth Social. A platform that currently only has a handful of users worldwide.
With the arrival of Elon Musk at the head of Twitter, the platform could reverse the sanctions taken in the past. Given the hypothesis of his return, Donald Trump has already assured that he does not want to find his account. But the reunion with his 90 million subscribers could be a serious temptation for the man who could stand in the next US presidential election.
