Elon Musk recently paid $44 billion for the platform Twitter, but he’s not sure if he’ll let former US president Donald Trump return.

Musk announced the reinstatement of the recently suspended accounts of the comic Kathy Griffin, the contentious academic Jordan Peterson, and the parody right-wing website The Babylon Bee in a tweet on Friday. The “decision has not been made” on Trump, according to Musk.

It’s an apparent change from Musk’s prior position. He said to the Financial Times in May that he would “reverse the permaban” on the account of the former president and referred to the initial Twitter decision as “morally wrong and flat-out stupid.”

Musk claimed that because Trump switched his communication to Truth Social, his Twitter-like social media platform, the ban “ultimately did not result in Donald Trump not having a voice.” Musk argued that having a “single forum where everyone can debate” is preferable and that only spam accounts and bots should be permanently banned.

Following the incident at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, Twitter banned Trump from its platform, claiming the “risk of further incitement of violence.” Its ruling was based on tweets that were posted on January 8, 2021. In one, Trump declared he wouldn’t go to President Joe Biden’s inauguration, which Twitter claimed might be taken as a call to attack the ceremony from Trump’s fans.

Trump announced that he will not use Twitter again after Musk took control.

In later tweets on Friday, Musk added that after conspiracy theorist Alex Jones was barred in 2018, he would not be permitted back onto the site.

He replied a flat-out “no” to a user who wrote, “Bring back Alex Jones!!!!” to one of his previous tweets. 

Twitter may soon disintegrate so poorly that it may actually crash, according to industry insiders and programmers who were fired or stepped down this week. This is because Musk’s managerial bomb-throwing at Twitter has drastically reduced the number of software engineers who keep the world’s de-facto public square up and running.

This week, Musk fired over two dozen developers who were essential to the continuity of the microblogging site, putting a stop to a very public disagreement. After he ordered everyone to promise to work “extremely hardcore” by Thursday evening or resign with severance compensation, hundreds of engineers and other employees quit.

The platform is losing employees as it prepares for the 2022 FIFA World Cup, which begins on Sunday, as a result of the most recent departures. When tweet surges severely taxing Twitter’s systems, it’s one of its busiest times.
