Report said that Musk, who just acquired Twitter, had become a new boss, tweeted: "If every time someone asked me if Trump would return to this platform, I would get one dollar, Twitter would be like printing money!" Last week, Musk completed the acquisition transaction with a total price of $44 billion. After taking over Twitter, he began to rectify the company and fired several executives.

report pointed out that in the weeks and months before the acquisition, Musk, who claimed to be a "liberal speech absolutist", promised to restore Trump's Twitter account, but it may be a high price to do so. "" Wall Street Journal published an article last week saying that if Musk unblocks Trump's account as he wishes, several top brands will be ready to cut off their business dealings with Twitter. Musk tried to appease nervous advertisers last week, seemingly clear about the impact of advertisers' losses on Twitter's profits, promising not to allow the Twitter platform to become a "completely free 'hell'."

After the riots on Capitol Hill in 2021, Trump's Twitter account was permanently banned. However, after Musk completed the acquisition of Twitter, Trump said on October 28, "I am glad that Twitter is now in the hands of rational people and is no longer managed by radical left-wing madmen and fanatics who truly hate our country." He also took the opportunity to promote the social platform Truth Social, which he created, but did not mention any possibility of returning to Twitter.
The New York Post mentioned that on October 28 Musk tweeted that "Twitter will form a content review committee with a wide variety of views", adding that "no major content decisions or account recovery will be made until the committee meets." (Editor: HHJ)
