Could Donald Trump be brought back on Twitter? Back in January 8, 2021, former president Donald Trump was banned from Twitter on the grounds that he allegedly “incited” the January 6 storming of the US Capitol.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s recent move to become the largest outside shareholder in Big Tech giant Twitter could potentially make this distant desire a reality. On April 4, 2022, Musk became owner of 73,486,938 Twitter shares. This constitutes a 9.2% passive stake in the company. Based on Twitter’s closing price on April 1, Musk’s Twitter stake is worth $2.89 billion.
In recent times, Musk has been a vocal advocate of free speech, especially on social media platforms like Twitter which has earned a bad reputation for its censorship policies. In late March, Musk floated the idea of creating a new social media platform.
Colorado Congresswoman Lauren Boebert was delighted by the news of Elon Musk becoming Twitter’s largest shareholder. She tweeted on April 4, “Now that @ElonMusk is Twitter’s largest shareholder, it’s time to lift the political censorship.
Oh… and BRING BACK TRUMP!”

Musk’s actions are a positive sign. He and his fellow Paypal co-founder are the last of America’s elites who still believe in foundational principles such as free speech. Liberty conservatives who know wealthy individuals who hold similar beliefs would be wise to encourage them to use their economic resources to take control of woke corporations and wrest control away from the woke management that runs these companies.
As long as there are right-leaning individuals with wealth in America, there’s always a way to fight back against Woke Capital.
