An alleged statement from Donald Trump has gone viral after he congratulated Elon Musk on his purchase of Twitter and announced his return to the platform.
“Congratulations to Elon Musk on his purchase of Twitter,” read the statement. “Many people are saying that change was needed, as the old management were too concerned with the woke agenda.”
“I have been told that my account will be back up and running on Monday – we will see. Happy to be able to engage with an African-American owned business!”
The statement caught so much traction that news companies impulsively began sharing the post and quickly had to retract their statements.

Though this statement has been proved a fake; with Musk’s purchase of Twitter, it is up in the air whether Trump will or won’t be returning to the platform.
