Trump hails Elon Musk over Twitter takeover

Former US President, Donald Trump has hailed Musk’s takeover of Twitter.

Musk has said in the past he would rescind the ban on the former president, but Trump did not say Friday whether he would return to the platform.

“I am very happy that Twitter is now in sane hands,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social, a platform launched by Trump. “Twitter must now work hard to rid itself of all of the bots and fake accounts that have hurt it so badly.”

Trump told Fox News in April, when news of Musk’s bid to buy Twitter emerged, that he would not return to the platform if his ban was lifted and was committed to growing Truth Social.

The New York Stock Exchange confirmed on Friday morning that Twitter shares are now suspended for trading, which means the social media platform is headed for delisting and is no longer a public company.

On Thursday night, Musk tweeted: “The bird is freed.”
