As one of the largest social media in the United States, Twitter recently changed hands and was acquired by elon Musk, the world's richest man, and completely became a privately controlled social platform. The focus of people's attention is not on what new developments will occur in the future Twitter, but whether the accounts of former President Trump, who were previously banned, will be restored. In this regard, Musk has not publicly stated its position. Trump, on the other hand, made it clear that he would not return to Twitter, but would continue to speak out on his social platforms.
One of the largest acquisitions in the history of technology, the deal was completed
According to the Global Network, on April 25, local time, the US Twitter company and the world's richest man - Tesla CEO Elon Musk signed a final agreement. Musk acquired Twitter for $54.2 per share, totaling about $44 billion. In this regard, the Wall Street Journal pointed out that this will be one of the largest acquisitions in the history of technology.
Twitter will become a fully privately held company after being acquired by Musk. According to Musk, he is more concerned about whether Twitter can become a public platform for maximum trust and broad inclusion than economic issues, and whether it can play a role in promoting the future of human civilization.
Musk, who has more than 80 million followers on Twitter, has repeatedly criticized Twitter's "non-free speech", mentioning that free speech is the cornerstone of democratic politics, and he hopes that those critics can stay on Twitter and jointly improve Twitter. Musk also said that he hopes to make Twitter's algorithm public, make the content recommendation and blocking logic transparent, and will also crack down on spam accounts, eliminate "fake robots", and authenticate all humans to make Twitter better.
Trump's return to Twitter? TRUMP: I won't go back
After the riots on Capitol Hill, Musk "spoke out" for Twitter's ban on Trump's account, arguing that Twitter as a technology company interfered with free speech. Now that Musk is the ruler of Twitter, the news has excited the right, and their platform for voice is back.
But Musk did not publicly state whether he would restore Trump's account, and Trump also said that not returning to Twitter is his bottom line, he will always use his social platform "TRUTH Social" to speak out, and he will officially join the platform that has been launched in the next 7 days as planned.
At the same time, he also congratulated Musk on his acquisition of Twitter, saying that Musk is a good person because he will improve Twitter. He also mentioned that his platform is also good, is attracting millions of people, and his own social platform is more real than Twitter bots and fake accounts.
But when asked if he had been in contact with Musk, Trump chose silence.
