Elon Musk Ready to End Donald Trump Twitter Ban: "It's Morally Wrong and Flat Out Stupid"

Tesla CEO Elon Musk said he would counter the permanent ban of former U.S. President Donald Trump on Twitter if his buy-out of the social media platform goes through.

CNN Business News reported that Musk's comment during the Financial Times' Future of the Car conference marks his first public acknowledgment of the Twitter bill since he announced his plans.

Earlier, the billionaire said he thinks Twitter should be more hesitant to "delete things" and be very careful when it comes to imposing permanent bans.

Musk described Trump's Twitter ban in January 2021 as a "mistake." He then said that he would reverse the permanent ban, adding that in his opinion, former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey shares his opinion on not having "perma-bans" on the platform.

Dorsey tweeted on Tuesday that there are exceptions but that "generally permanent bans are a failure" of the platform and "don't work."

Twitter did not comment on Musk's remarks regarding the reversal of the social media company's ban on Trump.

Donald Trump's Twitter Ban

Twitter kicked Trump from the platform after it said that the former president had broken its rules against inciting violence.

Twitter added that the decision to remove Trump was due to "the risk of further incitement of violence," according to an NPR News report.

The social media company was the first major platform to permanently ban the former president. Its move was eventually duplicated by other social media networks such as Facebook and YouTube.

Musk added that Trump's ban alienated a large part of the country and "did not ultimately result in Donald Trump not having a voice."

Musk was referring to Trump's own social media app, Truth Social. He said that the platform should only ban accounts in rare cases to remove bots, spammers, and scammers.

The Tesla CEO said that he does not own Twitter yet, and the plans to welcome back Trump on the platform are still theoretical.

He said that it is not a matter "that will definitely happen." Musk did not detail how he would do the reversal of the former president's ban on Twitter.

Musk only noted that the company should restrict speech when required by law.

Sumayyah Waheed of the civil rights group Muslim Advocates said that reinstating Trump on the platform shows a "severe backslide in favor of allowing hate and misinformation," which would put communities in more danger.

Elon Musk and Twitter

Musk's investor presentation, which was obtained by The New York Times and reported by Business Insider, showed that the billionaire plans to include a new Twitter product named "X."

Product "X" is seen to be launched in 2023 and in nine million users within the first year, according to pitch deck estimates.

Musk also projected that 104 million users would subscribe to the product by 2028.

The new product is part of Musk's plans to grow Twitter's revenue while also quadrupling the size of its user base.

He earlier claimed that he does not care about the economics of buying Twitter "at all."
