Donald Trump said he will not be returning to Twitter amid news that billionaire Elon Musk will purchase the social network for $44 billion. Trump claims he will remain on his social media app ‘Truth Social’.
“I am not going on Twitter, I am going to stay on TRUTH,” Trump told Fox News. “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.”
“The bottom line is, no, I am not going back to Twitter,” Trump said.
Trump was permanently banned from Twitter after the insurrection at the Capitol on Jan. 6. Before his permanent ban, his tweets repeatedly violated Twitter’s rules against spreading disinformation, inciting violence, and spreading false information during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Musk has not publicly commented on whether he plans to restore Trump’s account.
