(New Arab) As many have expected since billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk was approved to buy Twitter last month, he has finally indicated that he will approve of the return of banned former president Donald Trump. This could leave Muslims and other marginalised groups vulnerable to the effects of Trump’s tweets.
“I think it was a morally bad decision, and foolish in the extreme,” Musk said of Twitter’s permanent ban of Donald Trump, prompted by the former president’s proximity to the 6 January 2021 riot at the Capitol, which took place shortly after his rally in front of the White House.
“I would reverse the permaban,” said Musk, who has agreed to buy the social media platform for $US 44 billion, speaking at a Financial Times event, reported on Tuesday.
