Musk Weighs In On 2024 Presidential Election, Torches Biden | Eastern North Carolina Now

    Elon Musk slammed Democrat President Joe Biden on Thursday while also taking a shot at former President Donald Trump.

    "Even though I think a less divisive candidate would be better in 2024, I still think Trump should be restored to Twitter," Musk wrote on Twitter, later adding: "Biden's mistake is that he thinks he was elected to transform the country, but actually everyone just wanted less drama."

    Musk has repeatedly mocked Democrats in recent years and has taken multiple shots at Biden and the Biden administration's agenda.

    The tweets from Musk come after he said at FT Live's Future of the Car conference this week that it was "not correct to ban Donald Trump" from Twitter.

    "I think that was a mistake because it alienated a large part of the county, and did not ultimately result in Donald Trump not having a voice," Musk said, adding that the decision was "morally bad."

    "That doesn't mean that someone gets to say whatever they want to say," Musk said. "If they say something that is illegal or destructive to the world, then there should be perhaps a timeout, temporary suspension or that particular tweet should be made invisible or have very little traction."

    "I would reverse the permanent ban," Musk added.

    Once Musk's purchase of Twitter is finalized, he is expected to serve as the company's CEO for a period of time.

    Musk indicated that action could be taken against an account if there were tweets that violated platform policy, which he said "should be either deleted or made invisible, and a suspension-a temporary suspension-is appropriate, but not a permanent ban."

    Musk said that permanent bans "should be extremely rare and really reserved for accounts that are bots, or scam, spam accounts."

    The U.S. government has reportedly opened an investigation into Musk's business dealings surrounding his recent $44 billion purchase of Twitter.

    "The Securities and Exchange Commission is probing Mr. Musk's tardy submission of a public form that investors must file when they buy more than 5% of a company's shares," The Wall Street Journal reported. "The disclosure functions as an early sign to shareholders and companies that a significant investor could seek to control or influence a company."

    The report said that Musk's April 4 disclosure filing was at least 10 days late, a move that is believed to have saved him more than $140 million because share prices could have been higher if the public knew about his ownership of 5% of the company.
