Trump said he thought his own Truth Social media platform
"looks and works better." "I LOVE TRUTH," Trump wrote in a
post on his platform. Trump was banned from Twitter after the deadly January 6,
2021, attack on the US Capitol. Musk has said he would reinstate Trump's
account, but Trump previously said he would not return.
Donald Trump on Friday said he plans to make use of his own
Truth Social media platform despite Twitter's takeover by billionaire Elon
Musk, who has promised to reinstate the former US president's Twitter account.
"I like Elon, but I'm staying on Truth," Trump
told Fox News in an interview without explicitly saying he would not post on
Twitter if his account is reinstated.
When he posts on his own platform, "it goes all over
the place anyway," Trump told Fox. "Everyone who is on Twitter and on
all the other places, they all put it out anyway."
Musk, a self-described free speech absolutist, took over
Twitter with brutal efficiency on Thursday, firing top executives but offering
little clarity over how he will achieve his ambitions goals for the influential
social media platform.
Mere hours after Musk kicked off a new era at Twitter, he
was deluged with pleas and demands from banned account holders and world
leaders.
Others whose Twitter accounts were suspended have had or
could have them reinstated soon.
However, Musk, in his latest tweet, has confirmed that he
will be forming a content moderation council at Twitter with widely diverse
viewpoints.
Before the council convenes, the social media platform will
see no major content decisions or account reinstatements. © Reuters
