Elon Musk says if his bid to buy Twitter is successful, he will reverse Donald Trump’s ban from the platform.
The richest man in the world agreed a $44 billion (£34.5 billion) takeover bid with the Twitter board last month.
But he said it’s not a done deal yet and ideally it would be done in the next two to three months.
Twitter’s decision to ban the former US President was “morally wrong and downright stupid,” Mr Musk told the Financial Times’ Future of the Car summit.
In January 2021, Twitter said the former US President’s account was “permanently suspended… due to the risk of further incitement to violence” following the storming of the Capitol.
But the Tesla owner told the Financial Times, “I would reverse the permanent ban, but I don’t own Twitter yet.”
“Donald Trump’s ban did not end Trump’s voice. It will strengthen them among the right,” he said.
