Banned, Trump says Twitter is now in ‘smart hands’ with Musk

Former US President Donald Trump said on Friday he was happy Twitter is in “smart hands” after Elon Musk’s official takeover, but did not say whether he would return to his account on the platform that banned him.

Trump said he believes his own Truth Social media platform “looks and works better”.

Trump wrote “I LOVE THE TRUTH” in a post on his platform. Trump was banned from Twitter following the deadly attack on the US Capitol on January 6, 2021.

Musk said he would reinstate Trump’s account, but Trump previously stated that he would not return.
