New Twitter owner Elon Musk suggested former US president Donald Trump change his ‘Truth Social’ app’s name  to ‘Trumpet.’

Donald Trump launched his app by the name of ‘Truth Social’ after his account was suspended by Twitter last year. He was attacked on Capitol Hill, following a violation of Twitter guidelines regarding incitement.

Tesla owner Elon Musk has also been a critic of Twitter when it comes to free speech. However, a day earlier, Musk purchased Twitter for $44 billion cash and aimed to make it a better place for free speech.

“Free speech is the bedrock of a functioning democracy, and Twitter is the digital town square where matters vital to the future of humanity are debated. I also want to make Twitter better by adding new features,” Musk said in a statement.

However, Musk’s suggestion to change Trump’s app name came after ‘Truth Social’ topped the Apple store chart.
