An employee at Twitter who has been pushing for the company to delete the president’s account this week told NBC News that “leadership took a beating” at a meeting Friday morning with employees, many of whom pleaded with executives to delete his account. Donald Trump's Twitter account has gained more than 25 million followers since Elon Musk restored the former president to the social media platform. Hundreds of Twitter employees recently signed a letter urging Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey to ban the president for using the platform to incite violence in the wake of the Capitol siege. Trump used his Twitter account as his primary method of communication during his presidency, announcing policies and orders, attacking critics and spreading falsehoods. The former president launched his own Twitter-like platform Tuesday that allows followers to retweet. Twitter banned the president’s account after years of public pressure and several attempts to limit the reach of his account in recent days. Donald Trump didn’t wait for Facebook to make up its mind about his social media musings. The White House did not respond to a request for comment. “We will continue to be transparent around our policies and their enforcement.” “However, we made it clear going back years that these accounts are not above our rules and cannot use Twitter to incite violence,” the post continued. It is built on a principle that the people have a right to hold power to account in the open.”
“Our public interest framework exists to enable the public to hear from elected officials and world leaders directly. “In the context of horrific events this week, we made it clear on Wednesday that additional violations of the Twitter Rules would potentially result in this very course of action,” Twitter wrote.
