Fox News, Trump has no intention of reinstating his Twitter account. Instead, he will join his own platform within a week after not using it since its February launch.“I am not going on Twitter, I am going to stay on Truth,” Trump told Fox. “I hope Elon buys Twitter because he’ll make improvements to it and he is a good man, but I am going to be staying on Truth.”After a faulty launch two months ago, Truth Social has reportedly recovered with new cloud services. “We’re taking in millions of people, and what we’re finding is that the response on Truth is much better than being on Twitter,” Trump said.
“Twitter has bots and fake accounts, and we are doing everything we can.”“The bottom line is, no, I am not going back to Twitter,” he added.Trump also praised Musk’s acquisition of Twitter, but doesn’t consider it competition for Truth Social. “I think it is good. We want liberty and justice and fairness in our country, and the more we can have open, the better,” Trump said. “But no, I don’t view that as a competition for what I am doing.” “This is a platform for my voice.
Truth is a platform for my voice and for my supporters,” Trump said. “But I want everybody to come over to Truth — conservatives, liberals, whatever.”Former Rep. Devin Nunes heads the Trump Media & Technology Group social media platform as CEO.

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.

Todd Spangler NY Digital EditorDevin Nunes, the former congressman who is now CEO of Donald Trump’s social-media rival to Twitter, claimed that his new boss “encouraged” tech mogul Elon Musk to acquire Twitter, to “take on these tech tyrants.”Musk says that’s false.“I’ve had no communication, directly or indirectly, with Trump, who has publicly stated that he will be exclusively on Truth Social,” Musk tweeted Friday, replying to a New York Post article about Nunes’ claims.In an appearance Wednesday on Fox Business Network’s “Varney & Co,” Nunes said, “President Trump, basically before Elon Musk bought it, actually said to go and buy it because the goal of our company is really to build a community where people are in a family-friendly, safe environment.” Nunes added, “we encouraged Elon Musk to buy” Twitter, because “someone has to take on these tech tyrants… Donald Trump wanted to make sure that the American people got their voice back and that the internet was open and that’s what we are doing.” Nunes, who is CEO of Trump Media & Technology Group, once sued Twitter, seeking $250 million in damages, alleging in part he was defamed by anonymous parody accounts “Devin Nunes’ Mom” and “Devin Nunes’ Cow.” A judge threw out the case.Musk has said he’s primarily interested in protecting “free speech” on Twitter, and he has criticized the company for allegedly having a left-leaning political bias. That stance has led right-wingers — who have long alleged Twitter (and other internet platforms) somehow stifle conservative viewpoints — to champion Musk’s $44 billion bid for Twitter.Twitter permanently banned Trump shortly after the Jan.
