Donald Trump said he won't be returning to Twitter anytime soon amid news that billionaire Elon Musk will purchase the social network for $44 billion.

Instead, Trump said in an interview with Fox News that he would join his own new social network, TRUTH Social, in the coming days.

"I am not going on Twitter, I am going to stay on TRUTH," Trump told Fox News just before Musk's deal was formally announced.

"The bottom line is, no, I am not going back to Twitter" Trump was banned from Twitter in January 2021 due to his tweets about the January 6 Capitol attack.
