Twitter said the ban was “due to the risk of further incitement of violence.”

Even if his ban was lifted, it’s not clear if Trump would come back to Twitter.

In April, the former president saidhe wouldn’t return to Twitterbut would instead use his ownTruth Socialplatform.

In late April, Musk struck a deal to buy Twitter for$44 billion.

Neither Twitter nor representatives for Trump immediately responded to requests for comment.
