Donald Trump plans to "partially restrict himself" on social media like Twitter, even if potential new owner Elon Musk makes good on his claim he'd let the former president back online, CNBC reports per an SEC filing from Digital World Acquisition Corp., the SPAC working to take Trump's media and technology company public.
According to the filing, the ex-president must first post to his social network Truth Social, and "can't publish the same content on another social media site for six hours," CNBC writes. Once the six hours are up, he can post on "any site to which he has access," the filing says. The policy would mostly affect Trump's Twitter use should his access be restored, CNBC claims.
