Donald Trump has no interest in returning to Twitter even after millions voted in favor of reinstating the former U.S. President, in a poll conducted by Elon Musk.

Trump was banned from the social media service for inciting violence in January last year.

Slightly over 15 million Twitter users voted in the poll with 51.8% voting in favor of reinstatement.

Trump’s Twitter account once had over 88 million followers before he was banned.

More than 100,000 people followed him immediately after the poll results were announced.

But Trump appears less than keen to rejoin the struggling platform – saying he doesn’t see any reason for it.

He said he would stick with his new platform Truth Social, the app developed by his Trump Media startup.

On Tuesday. Trump launched a bid to regain the White House in 2024.

He praised Musk and said he had always liked him, but says Twitter suffered from bots, fake accounts and that the problems it faced are “incredible”.

While the fate of TikTok remains uncertain in the U.S.—there is no shortage of possibilities.

Several investors are hoping to benefit from a new federal law that requires TikTok’s China-based parent company to sell the popular platform or face a ban.

This comes after ByteDance and TikTok filed a lawsuit against the U.S. government to block the law from going into effect.

Meanwhile, eight TikTok creators filed their own challenge, arguing the law violates their First Amendment rights to free speech.

But as the saga continues many media outlets are defending the platform.
