The account suspension lasted almost two years until Musk bought the twitter
Ilon Musk’s social networking medium, X (former twitter), reached an agreement with the US president Donald Trump To pay him $ 10 million because he blocked his account in 2021, Wall Street Journal said Wednesday in an article.
Twitter blocked the Republican billionaire’s account a few hours after his supporters attacked the Capitol on January 6, 2021, believing that they acted after Trump’s incitement.
The suspension of the account lasted almost two years until Musk bought twitter in November 2022.
In the meantime, Trump had appealed to justice against Twitter and then -head Jack Dorsi, who has since left the company. His appeal was first rejected, but the Republican had appealed.
During the recent election campaign, Musk actively supported Trump, offering him $ 277 million, and has now become his close adviser.
According to the Wall Street Journal, Trump’s lawyers had initially thought to withdraw the accusations before finally deciding to reach an agreement with X.
At the end of January, Meta, owner of Facebook, also agreed to compensate the US president, offering him $ 25 million because he had suspended his account in 2021, referred to the EIA RES.
Since last year, most major technology companies seek to have good relations with Trump, who called on many senior executives in his swearing -in ceremony in January.
