A financial news site posting early Monday stirred talk that Twitter may reinstate former President Donald Trump's account after being banned for over a year.
"TWITTER INC SAID TO REINSTATE DONALD TRUMP TWITTER ACCOUNT," First Squawk posted, without citing a source for the bombshell news.
There was no announcement on Twitter itself, which — along with Facebook and YouTube — banned Trump following the Jan. 6, 2021, siege on the Capitol.
Reactions were mixed in hundreds of replies, including one poster who cheered, writing "Yea, Now twitter is gonna be fun. Missed his ridiculous tweets."
The posting follows news last week that Facebook's parent company Meta is weighing whether it will lift its platform ban on Trump, saying it's proceeding with "great caution" in deliberations.
