Elon Musk announced on Saturday that he had reinstated former US President Donald Trump on Twitter platform because Trump had not broken any laws and the microblogging “platform must be fair to all”.
“It’s been a week since @elonmusk brought Trump back… and without him even tweeting once…” a user tweeted.
Musk responded: “I’m fine with Trump not tweeting. The important thing is that Twitter corrected a grave mistake in banning his account, despite no violation of the law or terms of service.”
“As a reminder, I was a significant supporter of the Obama-Biden presidency and (reluctantly) voted for Biden over Trump,” he said.
“But Twitter as a platform must be fair to all,” he said.
Several Twitter users responded to Musk’s tweet.
One person commented, “I truly hope we have moderate candidates that don’t go too far either direction,” another said, “Why do you have to say it publicly? people will judge you for your choice and maybe they will stop liking twitter. Twitter must be neutral, without political opinion.”
Based on a poll, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey announced on November 20 that former US President Donald Trump could rejoin the microblogging platform.
