Rashad Robinson, president of Color of Change, told CNBC on Wednesday that he urged Musk to implement a consistent process for letting people back onto Twitter.
Robinson said he"spoke to him [Musk] about the folks that had incited violence and the message that it sends both to just replatform them without a very clear and transparent process." He also said that, when it allows people to return, Twitter should"take accountability, not just for what these folks do, but to the message it sends their followers."
Trump, who was banned after the Jan. 6 insurrection on the U.S. Capitol, wasn't mentioned by name on the call, attendees said.
