Incoming Twitter owner Elon Musk said Tuesday that he would “reverse the permanent ban” on Donald Trump, calling it “a mistake because it alienated a large part of the country, and did not ultimately result in Donald Trump not having a voice”

At a conference hosted by Financial Times in London, he called the decision “a mistake because it alienated a large part of the country, and did not ultimately result in Donald Trump not having a voice.
Shortly after Musk’s social media purchase was made public, Trump claimed he would not return to Twitter, preferring his own platform, Truth Social, which he used sporadically until just last week. But if he does change his mind and return to the app that helped elevate him to the presidency, it would make a chaotic 2024 race a whole lot crazier.
