Elon Musk said Twitter would reverse its ban of former President Donald Trump if his purchase of the social media company goes through, signaling just how permissive the platform could become toward free speech under his ownership.

Elon Musk confirmed what has been speculated since he reached a deal to buy out Twitter: He’d allow Donald Trump to return to the platform.

Todd Spangler NY Digital EditorCould Donald Trump return to Twitter after all?Elon Musk, who has reached a $44 billion deal to acquire Twitter, said the social network’s permanent ban on the 45th U.S. president was a “morally bad decision” — one that he would overturn, if Musk successfully closes the deal.Twitter’s ban of Trump “was a mistake because it alienated a large part of the county and did not ultimately result in Donald Trump not having a voice,” Musk said, speaking at a Financial Times automotive conference, as reported by the Wall Street Journal.Musk also said, “If there are tweets that are wrong and bad, those should be either deleted or made invisible, and a suspension — a temporary suspension — is appropriate, but not a permanent ban.” Trump has insisted he wouldn’t rejoin Twitter regardless of who owns it.

Elon Musk took to Twitter on Friday to offer a sense of his vision for the social media platform, after the acquisition goes through, also offering a sense of what its employees can expect, with regard to work life under his leadership.

In October 2020, Twitter blocked the New York Post’s account for 16 days over the newspaper’s series of disputed stories on Hunter Biden, in what became a flashpoint for Republicans charging Twitter with censorship of conservatives.
