Donald John Trump (born June 14, 1946) is the 45th and current president of the United States. Before entering politics, he was a businessman and television personality. Trump was born and raised in the New York City borough of Queens, and received a bachelor's degree in economics from the Wharton School. He took charge of his family's real-estate business in 1971, renamed it The Trump Organization, and expanded its operations from Queens and Brooklyn into Manhattan.
The company built or renovated skyscrapers, hotels, casinos, and golf courses. Trump later started various side ventures, mostly by licensing his name. He owned the Miss Universe and Miss USA beauty pageants from 1996 to 2015, and produced and hosted The Apprentice, a reality television show, from 2003 to 2015. Forbes estimates his net worth to be $3.1 billion.
Elon Musk confirmed what has been speculated since he reached a deal to buy out Twitter: He’d allow Donald Trump to return to the platform.“I think it was a morally bad decision, to be clear, and foolish in the extreme,” Musk said at the Financial Times’ Future of the Car conference on Tuesday.Musk cautioned that his proposed takeover of Twitter — in which he would take the company private — was still “not a done deal” and that in the “best case scenario” the transaction would be completed in two or three months.But he said that he had talked to former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, and they were in agreement that permanent Twitter suspensions should be reserved for bots or spam accounts.“It was not correct to ban Donald Trump,” Musk said. “I think that was a mistake.
It alienated a large part of the country.”Rather than keep Trump from having a voice, he said, it amplified it on the right.Trump has said that he would not return to Twitter but would maintain a presence on his own social media platform, Truth Social.
But there’s a lot of doubt that he would stick to that, given the much larger reach of the social media platform.Trump was permanently suspended from Twitter in the aftermath of the January 6th attack on the Capitol.
The company said that it was due to “the risk of further incitement of violence,” as they outlined numerous instances where Trump violated its terms of service.Last month, Twitter’s board agreed to Musk’s offer to purchase the company for around $44 billion.
