The most prominent former banned Twitter user, former US President Donald Trump, has welcomed the new ownership of the platform by billionaire Elon Musk, who previously said he does not believe in imposing a permanent ban.
"I'm glad Twitter is in good hands now and not run by crazy leftists who really hate our country," Trump wrote on Truth Social, a Twitter-like social media platform operated by Trump Media. and technology group.
The former US president did not discuss the possibility of returning to Twitter, which was blocked after the January 6 riots in the US Capitol, because the site's government feared that his continued tweets would lead to more violence.
