Former President Trump on Monday said he will not return to Twitter and instead will use his own platform, Truth Social, as planned, Fox News reports.
Why it matters: Trump’s remarks come on the day Twitter agreed to be acquired by Elon Musk — a move that has sparked speculation that Trump may be reinstated on the platform.
Driving the news: “I am not going on Twitter, I am going to stay on Truth,” Trump told Fox News on Monday. “I hope Elon buys Twitter because he’ll make improvements to it and he is a good man, but I am going to be staying on Truth.”
- Trump said that he plans to formally join his own Truth Social over the next seven days.
