Robert Habeck Returns to Social Media Platform X

The German Minister reactivates his accounts nearly six years after leaving due to platform hostility.

Robert Habeck, Germany's Minister for Economic Affairs, has rejoined the platform X, formerly known as Twitter, after a nearly six-year hiatus.
Habeck originally left the platform in 2019, citing the hostile and polarizing nature of social media as his reason.
He announced his return with the message 'Back for good,' indicating a permanent comeback to the platform.
The return is seen as a strategic move ahead of the Green Party's upcoming leadership and chancellor candidacy announcements.
Habeck's decision reflects a shift in his stance on engaging with social media, emphasizing the importance of not conceding such spaces to populists.
