The American businessman, Elon Musk, who completed the purchase of the Twitter application for $ 44 billion a few days ago, announced that he will cancel the ban of former US President Donald Trump from the famous short tweet site.
And Musk, the CEO of Tesla for electric cars, who is also active on Twitter, considered that “banning the former president was a mistake,” and that it was “a morally stupid decision,” according to what the newspaper reported.Washington Post“.
“I think it wasn’t right to ban Donald Trump,” he said at a Cat event on the future of the automobile, hosted by the Financial Times. Donald Trump,” adding that he wants to “promote freedom of expression on the civic Twitter platform.”
Twitter banned Trump in the wake of the January 6 riots last year, with warnings of the risk of more violence.
Musk considered that Trump’s move to his own platform on social media, “Truth” (the truth), which he founded with a number of businessmen, “evidence of the failure of the permanent ban.”
Musk did not go so far as to say that the ban should not exist, but noted that it should be exceptionally rare, and be dedicated to confronting bots and fraudulent accounts.
Asked whether Trump’s behavior merited action, Musk said: “Overall, a temporary suspension is appropriate, but not a permanent ban.”
And he considered that Trump’s ban from using the Twitter platform did not silence his voice, but rather would be amplified by supporters of the right, “that is why it is a moral error and completely stupid.”
