If you thought Donald Trump might make a return to Twitter, think again.
The company's CFO has confirmed the former US president will never be back on the platform, even if were to be elected for a second term.
Trump was kicked off the social media site shortly after the Capitol Hill riots on 6 January, over fears he would continue to inflame tensions with his supporters.

The ban was initially temporary, but was then made permanent. However, some have been asking whether he could eventually be allowed back on to the platform.
Twitter's chief financial officer Ned Segal has said the ban will remain no matter what.
He told CNBC's Squawk Box: "If you are removed from the platform, you are removed from the platform.
"Whether you are a commentator, you're a CFO, or you are a former or current public official.

"Remember, our policies are designed to make sure that people are not inciting violence. And if anybody does that we have to remove them from the service. And our policies don't allow people to come back."
That ban will continue even if Trump decides to run and succeed at becoming President in 2024 at the next US election.
Twitter didn't mince its words when it announced it would be removing Trump from the platform last month.

In a statement at the time of the ban, Twitter said: "After close review of recent Tweets from the @realDonaldTrump account and the context around them we have permanently suspended the account due to the risk of further incitement of violence.
"In the context of horrific events this week, we made it clear on Wednesday that additional violations of the Twitter Rules would potentially result in this very course of action.
"Our public interest framework exists to enable the public to hear from elected officials and world leaders directly. It is built on a principle that the people have a right to hold power to account in the open.
"However, we made it clear going back years that these accounts are not above our rules and cannot use Twitter to incite violence. We will continue to be transparent around our policies and their enforcement."
