Mexico’s president said on Monday that Twitter must undo the “damage” done to former president Donald Trump by account revocation, as new owner Elon Musk curbs censorship on the social media platform. He said he hopes he will.
President Andrés Manuel Lopez Obrador’s remarks came just days before the US midterm elections, when Republicans are expected to secure a congressional victory over President Joe Biden’s Democrats.
Lopez Obrador told Tesla (TSLA.O) Musk to “repair the damage caused by President Trump’s account suspension” and free Twitter from “conservative control” at a regular news conference. I asked.
Lopez Obrador has previously backed Musk’s acquisition of Twitter and encouraged it to “clean up” the social network.
In 2021, the Mexican leader is accused of blocking Trump on Facebook after Trump supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. He scolded CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
Musk completed its $44 billion acquisition of Twitter last week and has begun implementing sweeping changes, including executive dismissals and a planned overhaul of content moderation.
Trump said he was “extremely happy that Twitter is now in the hands of sane people,” but has yet to say whether he will be able to return to the site.
Trump has been banned from Twitter following accusations of inciting violence during an attack on the US Capitol in 2021.
