In these hours of talking about nothing but Twitter and Elon Musk, here comes a disconcerting statement from Donald Trump. The former President of the United States, in fact, has revealed that he will not return to the platform, even if Musk were to restore his account. On the other hand, he has his at his disposal Truth to release comments and statements in total freedom. And from here he doesn’t seem willing to move. Is the relationship between Donald Trump and Twitter really over?
Donald Trump and Twitter: the President will not return to the social network
“I’m not going to Twitter, I’m going to stay on Truth. I hope Elon buys Twitter because he’ll improve it and he’s a good man, but I’ll stay on Truth “. So had declared Donald Trump before the news of the acquisition of the platform became definitive. And then he added: “Twitter has become very boring. They got rid of a lot of good rumors on Twitter, a lot of their conservative voices. ” In short, the former President of the United States is not at all willing to return to the platform, especially because he now owns a social network of his own.
On the other hand, the opinions of JD Vance (Ohio Senate candidate) e Donald Trump Jr., who see in Elon Musk the “savior” of the social network. “I think it’s a great thing that Elon buys Twitter, because it’s not a free speech platform,” commented Vance. Therefore, only Donald Trump remains to be opposed to Twitter, especially now that Truth is starting to work properly. The launch of the social network, in fact, was compromised by a series of technical problems – including a long waiting list for everyone who wanted to subscribe – but the change of cloud allowed the App to start working at its best.
Today is an encouraging day for freedom of speech. I am hopeful that Elon Musk will help rein in Big Tech’s history of censoring users that have a different viewpoint.

Precisely for this reason, Donald Trump is unlikely to change his mind and decide to return to Twitter. Beyond this, the former President was keen to point out that the acquisition by Musk is still a good opportunity for the platform. But he wasn’t the only one. The senator Marsha Blackburn, for example, said: “Today is an encouraging day for free speech. I hope Elon Musk curbs Big Tech’s habit of censoring users who have a different point of view “. For his part, Trump has stated that he does not see a Twitter run by Musk as a competitor to Truth. “I think it’s good. We want freedom, justice and equity in our country, and the more we can open, the better – said the former President -. But no, I don’t see it as a competition for what I’m doing “.
