Musk reinstates Trump’s Twitter account amid storm of criticism, his first since a New York Times report in September suggested he was in the top three most powerful figures on the platform, ahead of President Trump and Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg. The report suggested that Mr Trump’s frequent use of Twitter had become an effective means of communication to his supporters, whose numbers have grown rapidly in recent years.
The president’s account has been reinstated and followers have been alerted to his tweets in the latest change to his account.
It’s unclear how Trump will spend his day now.
Earlier this month he had a busy schedule on Twitter, often tweeting several times a day.
