A new federal securities filing indicated that former President Donald Trump could return to Twitter if and when his permanent ban from the social media platform is rescinded.
Elon Musk, who is proposing to buy Twitter, has said he would allow Trump to return to the social media site. The former president was banned in January 2021 after the Jan. 6 Capitol attack.
The Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG) — backed by blank-check company Digital World Acquisition Corp. (DWAC) — launched Truth Social to compete against Twitter, and Trump has said he wouldn’t return to tweeting even if reinstated by Musk.

A new DWAC filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, however, indicated Trump could return, albeit with a self-imposed restriction.

The filing also included an overview of Big Tech social media sites Twitter and Facebook. Continue reading at Newsmax.
