TECH Elon Musk says he would lift Twitter ban on Donald Trump after deal closes
cnbc ^

Posted on 05/10/2022 11:03:00 AM PDT by janetjanet998

Elon Musk said Tuesday he would reverse Twitter’s ban on former President Donald Trump if his acquisition goes through.

“Permanent bans should be extremely rare and really reserved for accounts that are bots, or scam, spam accounts… I do think it was not correct to ban Donald Trump,” Musk said at FT Live’s Future of the Car conference. “I think that was a mistake, because it alienated a large part of the country and did not ultimately result in Donald Trump not having a voice.”

Cool, but it’s almost like he’s working to tank the deal. Wait till it’s a done deal!

It was a very bad decision purely from a business standpoint. It caused many conservatives to leave. The people running these woke businesses are ignoring the duty to their stock holders to maximize their customer base - instead of driving them away.

Time to short the Tesla stock. Owning one of their vehicles will no longer be seen by the left as being virtuous.

What he's doing may upset libs and Twitter censors, but it will thrill shareholders.

I wish he would keep the shares in the public market. I would buy some.

I would love to see him turn Twitter into a moneymaker and then use Twitter to acquire the NY Times and do the same to it.

I have not listened to Musk much but that was a rather lame interview. He looked distracted and rambled.

DUH, this comes as no surprise given his statements on free speech.

Agreed. He really believes in free speech. That seems to come as a surprise to some CINOs on FR who do not share that same view.

Twitter ban of Trump was "foolish to the extreme" and "morally wrong and flat out stupid." -- Elon Musk

Had to listen to it twice, maybe not Musk's fault, but that format was a bit lame. Better to LISTEN and not watch.
