![]() ![]() Trump’s following of 4.38 million on TRUTH Social remains a fraction of the size of the audience of nearly 90 million he had on Twitter before being banned. It will be much smaller, but better,” he wrote. “Twitter must now work hard to rid itself of all of the bots and fake accounts that have hurt it so badly. ![]() On Friday, Trump sung the praises of TRUTH Social in a post on the site in which he also addressed the news of Musk’s deal. Trump has since maintained that he has no intention of rejoining Twitter. “I hope Elon buys Twitter because he’ll make improvements to it and he is a good man, but I am going to be staying on TRUTH.” “I am not going on Twitter, I am going to stay on TRUTH,” Trump said the day Musk’s deal was announced.

He went on to say that he’s broadly against permanent bans and favors more tailored punishments for content that is illegal or otherwise “destructive to the world,” echoing an opinion he had previously expressed in an April text message to then-Twitter CEO Agrawal. While speaking virtually at a conference in May, Musk said that he viewed Trump’s ban as a mistake because it “alienated a large part of the country and did not ultimately result in Donald Trump not having a voice.” Musk suggested earlier this year that he would allow Trump back on Twitter once he took ownership of the company.
