"This Is False": Elon Musk Denies Donald Trump "Encouraged" Him To Buy Twitter
NDTV
A report quoted the CEO of Donald Trump's own social media app Truth Social as saying that the former president "encouraged" Mr Musk to buy Twitter.
Billionaire tech entrepreneur Elon Musk has rubbished a report by a US daily that claimed former President Donald Trump, who has been permanently banned from Twitter, “encouraged” him to buy the micro-blogging site. Mr Musk has called the report “false”. This is false. I've had no communication, directly or indirectly, with Trump, who has publicly stated that he will be exclusively on Truth Social.
The report in the New York Post quoted Devin Nunes, the CEO of Donald Trump's own social media app Truth Social, as saying that the former president “encouraged Elon Musk to buy it (Twitter) because someone has to take on these tech tyrants.”
When the US daily shared its story on Twitter, Elon Musk replied, “This is false. I have had no communication, directly or indirectly, with [Donald] Trump, who has publicly stated that he will be exclusively on Truth Social”.
