Former US President Donald Trump. File photoWASHINGTON, May 13. Entrepreneur Elon Musk said he did not consider Donald Trump the best candidate for US President in the next election, but confirmed his readiness to return access to the social network Twitter if he bought it.
"Even though I think a less divisive candidate would be preferred in 2024, I still think Trump should be reinstated on Twitter", Musk tweeted on the social media platform he wants to acquire for $44 billion.
About Joe Biden, who, unlike Trump, has already announced his intention to run, Musk said that the incumbent's mistake is that he thinks he was elected with a mandate to transform America. “But in fact, everyone just wanted less drama,” the entrepreneur wrote. Trump himself had previously made it clear that he was not going to return to Twitter and intends to develop his own social network Truth (“Truth”). Twitter permanently blocked Trump’s account on January 8, 2021 — two days after his supporters stormed the Capitol in an attempt to disrupt congressional approval of Democrat Joe Biden's presidential election victory. The social network then explained its decision as «the risk of further incitement to violence.»
