Former US President Donald Trump on Monday ruled out a return to Twitter, where he was banned in January 2021, despite billionaire Elon Musk’s announcement on the social network the same day.
I don’t go on Twitter, I stick to the TRUTHhe told Fox News in reference to the Truth Social platform, which he launched in February and presented as a conservative alternative to Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.
But the mobile application, which should be fully operational by the end of March, has struggled to meet demand since its launch, plagued by technical problems.
I hope Elon buys Twitter because he will make improvement and he is a kind person, but I’m sticking with Truthhe repeated.
We attract millions of people and we find that the response to TRUTH is better than TwitterWHO there are bots [programmes informatiques automatisés] and fake accountshe said.
Free expression
Prior to taking to Twitter, Mr. Musk, the bizarre boss of Tesla and SpaceX, has criticized the social network on numerous occasions, particularly about freedom of expression and moderation of content, which he considers too serious. .
However, he did not explicitly say that he would allow the return of Donald Trump or some of his also banned followers.
The bluebird network has been accused of biasing Democrats by many Republicans, and of violating freedom of expression by suspending conservative accounts.
Freedom of expression is the foundation of a functioning democracy, and Twitter is the digital public square where issues important to the future of humanity are debated.said Elon Musk on Monday, quoted in a Twitter press release announcing its acquisition for $ 44 billion.
Twitter announced that it permanently suspended Mr. Trump’s account on January 8, 2021, followed by nearly 89 million people he talks to daily, believing there is a risk of incitement to violence.
Two days earlier, thousands of supporters of the Republican billionaire had violently attacked the Capitol in Washington to prevent elected officials from proving Democrat Joe Biden’s victory in the presidential election.
