How Twitter -- and Elon Musk -- could rescue Donald Trump
CNN
The news that Elon Musk is now the single-largest holder of Twitter shares and is set to join the social media giant's board is interesting for lots (and lots) of reasons.
But perhaps the most intriguing element of Musk's suddenly-powerful perch within Twitter is what it means for former President Donald Trump, who has been banned from the site since early 2021, in the wake of the January 6 riot at the US Capitol.
Musk has been an outspoken advocate of free speech on the web and critical of what he views as the silencing of some voices by social media sites. Because of that, some high-profile Republicans quickly moved to pressure Musk to reinstate Trump and others.
