$Tesla, Inc. (TSLA.US) $CEO Elon Musk (Elon Musk) said on Tuesday$Twitter (TWTR.US) $It was "extremely stupid" for the company to kick former US President Donald Trump out of his service and the permanent ban on him should be terminated. Musk had already agreed to buy Twitter for $44 billion.

Musk said the social media should not be permanently blocked. "permanent closure should be extremely rare and really used in robot accounts, fraud accounts, spam accounts. I really don't think it's right to ban Trump, "Musk said.

"I will lift the permanent ban, which fundamentally undermines trust in Twitter," Musk added. "I don't fully own Twitter yet. So it's not something that's going to happen.

"Dorsey and I have the view that we should not have a permanent ban, and I want to make it clear that I agree with that. "Musk said. Dorsey is a Twitter co-founder and former CEO. Dorsey also shared this view on Twitter, adding that illegal behavior or spam is not allowed.

It had been reported that several advisers to Biden had revealed that Biden administration officials were closely watching Musk's acquisition of Twitter and were worried about whether Musk would allow Trump to return to the platform after the acquisition.

Trump responded that he would not return to Twitter, but would use Truth Social, a self-built social platform. "No, I won't use Twitter anymore," Trump said. I hope Musk will buy Twitter because he will improve Twitter, but I will use my own voice platform 'Truth Social''.

Late last month, Twitter confirmed that its board had accepted Mr Musk's proposal to go private. Under the terms of the agreement, Musk will buy Twitter for $54.20 a share, totaling about $44 billion. When the deal is completed, Twitter will become a privately held company. The deal is subject to approval by Twitter shareholders and regulators.

Musk also said that the best-case scenario is that the Twitter acquisition could be completed within two to three months.
