associate he may get his account back 'soonA close associate of Elon Musk told a far-right activist who was banned from Twitter that he may get his account back soon after the Tesla billionaire bought the platform, according to a Wall Street Journal report.
Charles Johnson, who was known for trolling on the platform and doxxing journalists, was banned from Twitter in 2015 after he used the site to fundraise to "take out" Black Lives Matter activist DeRay McKesson.
Twitter announced on Monday it had accepted Musk's offer to buy the company in a $44 billion deal. When Johnson heard about the offer, he texted Jared Birchall, who runs Musk's personal investment office and was working on the deal, the Journal reported.
"When do I get my Twitter account back?" Johnson asked.

There seems to be a growing chorus that Musk will not go thru with the deal. I gave up second-guessing this clown.
