Kangana Ranaut and Donald Trump

With Elon Musk buying Twitter for $44 billion, many are wondering if the accounts of former US President Donald Trump and Bollywood actor Kangana Ranaut be restored? But why this question is arising at this point?

The world’s richest businessman is in news for a while and now he has acquired Twitter. Earlier, he’d been frequently tweeting ideas for revamping the social media platform. And after taking over Twitter, Musk issued a statement that hailed free speech on the microblogging platform.

Calling himself a free speech absolutist, Space X founder shared a statement that said free speech is the bedrock of a functioning democracy, and Twitter is the digital town square where matters vital to the future of humanity are debated. The Tesla CEO also hoped that his worst critics also remain on Twitter, because that is what free speech means, he said.

Musk has proposed a variety of changes to the company in recent weeks, including easing content restrictions and saying he would be extremely reluctant to delete content and skeptical of permanent bans.

Are Donald Trump and Kangana Ranaut actually coming back to Twitter?

As soon as the news of Elon Musk acquiring Twitter came in, the fans of Kangana Ranaut started demanding to reinstate the account of the actor. One of the fans tweeted, please bring back Kangana Ranaut to Twitter as she was thrown out for just saying facts! People are also calling to bring Donald Trump back to the social media platform. One of the users commented that Twitter is incomplete without these two.

Will Donald Trump rejoin Twitter?

However, Donald Trump on Monday said to an American multinational news channel that he has no plans of rejoining Twitter. Following, Elon Musk’s agreement to buy Twitter, the former President said that he has no intention of rejoining Twitter, instead, he will focus on his platform, Truth Social.

Why were the accounts of Donald Trump and Kangana Ranaut suspended?

Following the deadly January 6 insurgency, Trump was banned from key social media networks, with Twitter citing the potential risk of further incitement of violence. Since leaving office, Trump has continued to spread misinformation about his defeat in the 2020 election in speeches and statements, and it’s questionable how Musk would respond to those claims if Trump were to return to the platform.

On May 3, 2021, Kangana’s account was permanently suspended after a tweetstorm which was in response to the West Bengal assembly election results. Her account was suspended, according to a Twitter spokeswoman, for multiple violations of Twitter Rules, specifically our Hateful Conduct policy and Abusive Behaviour policy.  The microblogging platform issued a statement claiming that the new IT standards have aspects that stifle free speech.

Twitter stocks went up after Elon musk buys it but what about Tesla and Snapchat’s stocks?
