Twitter: Following a Twitter poll in which 51.8% of respondents supported Trump’s return to the microblogging platform, Twitter CEO Elon Musk said he was happy with the former US President not tweeting.

Donald Trump, a Republican who just declared his candidacy for the 2024 US Presidential election, said he would continue with his new platform Truth Social even though his account was reactivated as a consequence of the Twitter poll results. Since then, Trump has not tweeted anything.
Elon Musk’s response
Elon Musk, the “Chief Twit,” responded to Donald Trump’s hesitation to return to Twitter by saying, “I’m fine with Trump not tweeting. The important thing is that Twitter correct a grave mistake in banning his account, despite no violation of the law or terms of service.”
Trump’s followers stormed the US Capitol as it was getting ready to confirm Democrat Joe Biden’s victory for president, and he was permanently suspended (banned) from Twitter “due to the risk of further incitement of violence,” according to the statement.
Musk added, “Deplatforming a sitting President undermined public trust in Twitter for half of America.”
Elon Musk also admitted that he voted (reluctantly) for Biden over Trump in the most recent US presidential election and described himself as a “important supporter” of the Obama-Biden administration.

Freedom of speech is the bedrock of a strong democracy
“But freedom of speech is the bedrock of a strong democracy and must take precedence. My preference for the 2024 presidency is someone sensible and centrist. I had hoped that would be the case for the Biden administration, but have been disappointed so far,” the CEO of Tesla remarked.
Musk had previously restored accounts linked to the satirical website Babylon Bee and the conservative media figure Jordan Peterson. Following Musk’s announcement last month that Twitter will create a content moderation council with “widely diverse opinions,” these reinstatements have taken place.
