Former President Donald Trump told Fox News on Monday that he won't return to Twitter even if Elon Musk, the platform's new owner, invites him back. Instead, Trump will stick to his own social media app — TRUTH Social.
"I am not going on Twitter, I am going to stay on TRUTH," Trump said. "I hope Elon buys Twitter because he'll make improvements to it and he is a good man, but I am going to be staying on TRUTH."
