Elon Musk is set to welcome former President Donald Trump back to Twitter, according to reports.
The Tesla founder and CEO officially took ownership of Twitter.com on Thursday. He completed the $44 billion acquisition a day ahead of a deadline set by a judge.
Musk (left) will assume the role of CEO, according to sources who spoke to Bloomberg. He plans to reverse the ban on Trump (right) and reverse lifetime bans on other conservatives who were silenced on Twitter.
On Friday, Trump said he’s glad Twitter is now in Elon Musk’s “sane hands”.
Trump was banned from Twitter, Facebook and other social media platforms in 2020.
On Thursday, Musk fired trust & safety chief Vijaya Gadde, the woman who famously banned Trump from Twitter in 2020.

Musk also terminated Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal and head of finance Ned Segal on Thursday. Both men were hastily escorted from the building on Thursday night.
Musk is set to hold a town hall meeting to formally introduce himself to employees later today.
One employee tweeted, “I am fully expecting him to fire 69% of us on Friday at 4:20 p.m.”
