Why Elon Musk says he would reverse Donald Trump’s Twitter ban

Elon Musk plans to reverse the permanent Twitter ban on former President Donald Trump.

“I would reverse the permanent ban,” Musk announced at FT Live’s Future of the Car conference.

Musk has become outspoken on the issue of free speech, and started making advances to purchase Twitter in April. He offered $43 billion for the social media site, and the platform will become a privately held company when the transaction is complete, Deseret News reported.

“Banning Trump from Twitter didn’t end Trump’s voice, it will amplify it among the right and this is why it’s morally wrong and flat out stupid,” Musk said at the event, per Financial Times.
