A millionaire who does not like the rules of free speech may accept a previously suspended account.
Elon Musk's courtship on Twitter is very similar to the billionaire himself: Brusque, confusing, full of changes and finally taken seriously by the great tech community who originally wrote his contribution as a dream.
That Musk would like to buy Twitter is almost as shocking as Twitter might sell, and the effect of the news cycle surrounding any potential has caused a great deal of controversy in the room over the past few weeks.
The first suggestion that Tesla and SpaceX chief executive might be interested in a long-running social media platform came on April 4, when the Securities and Exchange Commission submission shows that Musk took 9.2% of Twitter.
That leads to a lot of work as the Musk tap dances between being an active investor in an inactive investor and returning to an active investor again.
Musk has long criticized the policies of using Twitter in free speech. A major donor to the American Civil Liberties Union, has been at the forefront of free speech and technology issues for years.
His interest in social media immediately shocked advocates of consumer protection against harassment - and caught the attention of Republicans, who demanded that Twitter and Musk's communications be maintained.
He then spent another week or so asking his 83 billion Twitter followers what changes they would like to make to the company, while at the same time stepping on the board of directors by proposing to turn the San Francisco platform into a shelter for the homeless and leave a "T" on their behalf.
Musk also refused a seat on the board. The board then adopted a "poison pill" strategy to avoid any overdose.
Finally, on April 14, he presented what he said was his "best and last" bid for the company's $ 52.20 share, or about $ 43 billion.
He offered a portable bid planning program a week later, and created three hosting companies where he would fund and merge a Twitter-owned company.
Now, it seems that Twitter has finally been defeated by Musk's cunning.
Now what about Donald Trump?
The most important user in the history of Twitter is former president Donald Trump.
His use of the forum without warning, and seen without the intervention of any of his aides or government agencies, leads to a new era in political discourse.
That is where a politician can speak directly to the masses without a filter, context, media coverage of his statements, or a news correspondent.
But Trump was banned from Twitter for inciting violence during the January 6, 2021 violence in the U.S. Capitol. The company said his remarks in the stadium led to an act of violence by his supporters, and he immediately suspended his account.
That removed both Trump’s most important approach to his supporters and devotees, but also excluded the company and millions of new users, many of whom had joined the arena to follow the former president or re-write their support.
For a while, it seemed that the new Trump media business could solve that propaganda gap, but the effort, called Truth Social, faltered in the stock market and failed to register even the smallest half of users it predicted.
Now, with Elon Musk in charge of Twitter, past billionaire statements about unlimited freedom of expression have many market viewers wondering: Will Donald Trump return to Twitter?
Trump Twitter Conundrum
Musk's powerful defense of free speech was welcomed by both sides of the movement, to some extent.
Many First Amendment rights experts have agreed with him that the official language in American should be used on the platform without restrictions.
That is the end of the agreement between the parties.
Approximately 1.4 million Musk fans say they do not believe Twitter protected the free speech while investigating them on his Twitter handle in March.
