Former President Donald Trump says he has no plans to make a comeback on Twitter, even after the social media company announced it is being bought by billionaire Elon Musk.
Trump, who was permanently banned from the platform last year after the Capitol riot, said he will stick to his own nascent social network, Truth Social, and begin posting in earnest in the next several days.
"I am not going on Twitter, I am going to stay on TRUTH," Trump told Fox News on Monday."I hope Elon buys Twitter because he’ll make improvements to it, and he is a good man, but I am going to be staying on TRUTH."Though Musk has not said whether he would activate the former president's account, he has advocated free speech on the platform regardless of one's political views.
Trump said he will begin regularly using Truth Social, which launched in February and has a reported $1 billion initial investment, in the coming days. Two days prior, Trump Media & Technology Group CEO Devin Nunes announced that the platform had cleared a backlog of users waiting to join on iPhones, as it only allowed a limited number of users to join while undergoing an extended beta testing period.
"This is a platform for my voice. TRUTH is a platform for my voice and for my supporters," Trump said."But I want everybody to come over to TRUTH — conservatives, liberals, whatever."Trump commented that Twitter has become"very boring" since his account was banned, as conservative voices have been"thrown off" or left the platform.
