Donald Trump said on Saturday he had no interest in returning to Twitter even after a slim majority voted to reinstate the former US president, who was banned from the social network for inciting violence, in a poll organized by the company's new owner Elon Musk. , he writes Reuters.

Just over 15 million Twitter users voted in the poll, with 51,8% voting to reinstate Trump's profile.

"The people have spoken. "Trump will get his profile back," Musk wrote on Twitter.

The people have spoken.

Trump will be reinstated.

Trump's Twitter account, which had more than 88 million followers before it was banned on January 8, 2021, began to gain followers again and gained nearly 100.000 more followers within hours of being back up and running.

But Trump doesn't seem so keen on getting back on Twitter.

"I don't see any reason to," the former president said via video when asked by a panel at the Republican Jewish Coalition's annual leadership meeting if he planned to return to Twitter.

He said he would stick with his new platform, Truth Social, the app developed by his startup Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), which he said had better user engagement than Twitter and was doing "phenomenally well."
