Elon Musk Says Trump 'Divisive': People 'Wanted Less Drama'

Elon Musk said Thursday he believes former President Donald Trump belongs on Twitter, but he would personally prefer someone “less divisive” in 2024.

The billionaire Tesla and SpaceX CEO also said he believes President Joe Biden was only elected in 2020 because people had grown tired of “drama.”

Musk, who is in the process of acquiring the platform for $44 billion, took what appeared to be veiled shots at both men with a pair of tweets.

“Even though I think a less divisive candidate would be better in 2024, I still think Trump should be restored to Twitter,” Musk tweeted.

Moments later, he stated Biden was only elected because the country needed a break from the country’s 45th president.

“Biden’s mistake is that he thinks he was elected to transform the country, but actually everyone just wanted less drama,” Musk stated.

Musk has become more vocal about his political positions on the platform he has agreed in principle to buy and take private.

Musk said when the deal to buy the platform was announced he wishes to turn the company into a haven for “free speech.” He also criticized the Democratic Party, which he said had been “hijacked” by “extremists.”

Musk had previously said he considered himself to be moderate to center-right.

Earlier this week, while responding to far-right author Mike Cernovich, Musk agreed Twitter is biased against conservatives.
