These are Elon Musk’s possible plans for Twitter after $44 billion deal

Elon Musk’s deal to buy Twitter on Monday means big changes could be in store for the social media site — including potentially bringing back Donald Trump, verifying every human user of the site and converting the company’s headquarters into a homeless shelter. 

While Musk hasn’t explicitly promised to allow Trump back onto Twitter, he has said that the site’s current moderation policies are too restrictive, prompting speculation about a potential Trump return. 

But the former president, who was banned last year for his role in the Jan. 6 Capitol riots, claimed in a Fox News interview on Monday that he doesn’t want to return to Twitter despite its new owner — and instead plans to use his own struggling Twitter alternative TRUTH Social, even though he hasn’t posted on the site since February.

In another indication of how Musk might handle content moderation issues on Twitter, he wrote last week that “a social media platform’s policies are good if the most extreme 10% on left and right are equally unhappy.” 

The billionaire has also said he wants to verify “all real humans” who use the site in an effort to crack down on spam.
