Former US President Donald Trump said on Friday that Twitter was "in good hands" after Elon Musk bought the social network.
"Twitter is now in safe hands, and will no longer be run by radical left crazies who genuinely hate our country," he said on his network, Truth Social.
The Republican billionaire has not said if he plans to eventually return to the platform, from which he was banned after the Capitol storming, although many experts agree that a return is likely.
“I don't think Twitter can succeed without me,” the ex-businessman said in an interview with Fox News.
A Trump comeback?
Elon Musk, the new boss of the social network, had opened the door in May to a return of Donald Trump to Twitter, which would cause waves in American society and politics.
With his account@realDonaldTrump, the former American president spoke directly to his 88 million subscribers, announcing pell-mell punitive customs tariffs against China, uttering a new insult against one of his detractors, and commenting lots of news.
On January 8, 2021, two days after the invasion of the Capitol by his supporters, Twitter had decided to ban him in the face of the "risk of further incitement to violence".
Donald Trump said on Friday that his Truth Social network, where he has since taken refuge, was working "better" than Twitter, which he said "must work hard to get rid of all the fake accounts and bots that have hurt him so much. ".
"I like Elon a lot, but I'm going to stick with Truth," he said.
