Billionaire Elon Musk said on Tuesday (May 10) he would reverse Twitter's ban on former US President Donald Trump when he buys the social media platform, the clearest signal yet of Musk's intention to cut moderation of the site. Musk, the world's richest person and chief executive of electric vehicle maker Tesla Inc, has inked a $44 billion (S$61 billion)...

US President Donald Trump and Elon Musk are seen at the Firing Room Four after the launch of a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket and Crew Dragon spacecraft on NASA's SpaceX Demo-2 mission to the International Space Station from Nasa's Kennedy Space Centre in Cape Canaveral, Florida, US on May 30, 2020.

The question of reinstating Trump has been seen as a litmus test of how far Musk will go in making changes, even though Trump himself has said he would not return. "Wrong and bad" tweets should be deleted or made invisible and a temporary account suspension could be appropriate, Musk said. "I think permabans just fundamentally undermine trust in Twitter as a town square where everyone can voice their opinion."

Trump was permanently suspended from Twitter shortly after the Jan. 6, 2021,attack on the U.S. Capitol. Twitter cited "the risk of further incitement of violence" in its decision. Trump "ought to be everywhere he can," Republican Senator Rick Scott told reporters when asked about Musk's comments. "We shouldn't have social media companies that are restricting people's ability to get their message out."
