Elon Musk considers ban on Donald Trump a big mistake of Twitter

Elon Musk, the new owner of this microblogging site, considers Twitter’s ban on former US President Donald Trump early last year as a big mistake. Twitter had imposed this ban after the attack by Trump’s supporters on America’s Capitol Hill. Musk said that this mistake needed to be corrected. Along with this, he says that the ban on posts inciting violence on Twitter will continue.

Musk in a tweet Said“I have no problem with Trump not tweeting. The important thing is that Twitter has corrected the huge mistake it made in banning his account. The ban was imposed without any violation of the law or terms of service “Removing a sitting president from the platform undermined the trust that half the American population has in Twitter.” Musk had announced the restoration of Trump’s Twitter account last week. Earlier, they had conducted a poll related to restoring the account in which a little more than half of the people had agreed to restore the account.

Trump, associated with the Republican Party, has announced to contest the election of the President of America again. Trump has said he has no interest in returning to Twitter. Trump’s Twitter account had more than 88 million followers at the beginning of last year. When Trump was asked at a Republican Party meeting about returning to Twitter, he said, “I don’t see any reason for it.” He told that he will remain intact with his app Truth Social.

This app has been developed by his startup Trump Media & Technology Group. Trump has started trying to become the President of America again. He has praised Musk. However, along with this he said that there is a problem of bots and fake accounts on Twitter. Since purchasing Twitter, Musk has been making major changes in it. After taking over Twitter, he removed the company’s top management and laid off almost half the staff. He has also asked the workers to work hard.
