Elon Musk has finally confirmed that he will activate Trump’s Twitter account, even though Trump has stated that he will not go back to Twitter. He states that permanent bans are terrible decisions and that there will be much less of them moving forward.
He also said that all that ban did was not shut Trump’s voice, but amplify it. This is the portion that I think is vague, it could mean two different things depending on your opinion of Trump. First, if you are a fan of Trump, Elon saying that would mean that Trump is the underdog in this story. It would mean that the ban couldn’t stifle Trump’s voice and therefore, he is the hero that fights for the “Truth”.
On the other hand, if you are not a fan of Trump, it would mean that the voice that was already sprouting misinformation was not shut down with the ban. Then, this would present an argument against the ban, in that, it does not perform adequately for its intended purpose. See? You can interpret it in both ways, and this is how almost all, even remotely political statements made by celebrities are structured, so as to not offend anyone. In the end, you should remain sceptical of all things, even your own beliefs.
