Tesla founder Elon Musk has submitted a $44 billion bid to buy Twitter in recent months. Afterwards, the parties, who could not mutually agree, have suspended the purchase for the time being. Elon Musk has announced that if he buys the social media giant, Donald Trump will also lift the Twitter ban.
According to the famous businessman, the ban on the former US President increases the votes of the right-wing voters. But Twitter’s policies don’t agree with Elon Musk. The company has started working to review the Donald Trump ban So what will the company do about it? Let’s take a look at the details of the news together.
Twitter will reconsider its policies!
As Elon Musk constantly states in his statements, he defines himself as an absolutist of freedom of expression. The Tesla founder therefore wants to make Twitter a free space where people can openly share their thoughts. The businessman will completely lift the permanent bans after the acquisition of the company, in his previous statement. Instead of permanent bans, it will bring suspensions or breaks.
Donald Trump and Elon Musk
Twitter’s policies do not take into account values with Musk. However, the company has been trying to align more with Elon Musk’s mindset in terms of content and policies lately. This is exactly why Twitter is reviewing its policies over Donald Trump and discussing whether there is a penalty it can give instead of closing his account completely.
Despite this, the firm still thinks that it will be very difficult for Donald Trump to return to Twitter. At the same time, he also stated that he would not compromise on his policies against inciting violence, as before.
Elon Musk’s acquisition of Twitter is still ongoing. The judge in the case postponed the trial, which will take place on October 17, until November so that the two sides can reach a final decision. So, there is no result yet.
