In recent weeks, Musk has voiced a number of
proposed changes for the company, including
relaxing its content restrictions, and said he
would be “very reluctant” to delete content and
cautious of permanent bans.
After being kicked off social media platforms,
Trump launched his own social media app and
sued Twitter, Facebook and Google’s YouTube,
claiming he and other conservatives had been
wrongfully censored, even though posts by
conservative commentators are routinely the
most widely shared.
He said he welcomed Musk’s purchase and
told Fox News he didn’t see Twitter as his own
product’s competition.
“Truth Social will be a voice for me,” he said. “And
that’s something nobody else can get.”
At a rally in Ohio last weekend, Trump also urged
his supporters to join him on Truth Social.
“Go out and sign up now,” he told them. “Have a
lot of fun.”
