WELCOME BACK TWEETER: Musk to End Lifetime Twitter Bans, Report

posted by Hannity Staff - 10.28.22

According to a Bloomberg report, Twitter’s new sheriff Elon Musk may be preparing to lift lifetime bans from the social media platform, paving the way for some big names to potentially return.

Musk officially took the helm at the blue bird late Thursday evening, tweeting “the bird is freed.”

From Bloomberg:

Musk also intends to do away with permanent bans on users because he doesn’t believe in lifelong prohibitions…That means people previously booted off the platform may be allowed to return, a category that would include former president Donald Trump, the person said. It’s unclear however if Trump would be allowed back on Twitter in the near term.

In response to a Twitter user complaining they are being “shadowbanned, ghostbanned, searchbanned,” as well as having followers removed, Musk said in a tweet on Friday that he will be “digging in more today.”

Musk has indicated he would allow Trump back on the social media platform.

“Would be great to unwind permanent bans, except for spam accounts and those that explicitly advocate violence,” Musk texted then-Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal in April, according to court filings.

Musk has also said: “I do think it was not correct to ban Donald Trump, I think that was a mistake.”

While many Twitter users hope to see former President Donald Trump return to the platform, forty-five insists that his home is on TRUTH Social now.

“I am not going on Twitter. I am going to stay on Truth,” Trump told Fox News in April. “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.”
