After polling on Twitter, Elon Musk announced that he would unban Donald Trump

Elon Musk has restored Donald Trump’s Twitter account. The decision was made after organizing a vote on the platform.

A few weeks after his acquisition of Twitter, Elon Musk announced that he was going to keep one of his promises, namely to restore the Donald Trump account. Thus, a former American president running for the White House for the third time will be able to post tweets again.

Elon Musk has restored Donald Trump’s Twitter account.

This decision was made by the new CEO of Twitter based on a Twitter poll. This Friday, Elon Musk posted a poll on Twitter asking users to vote to restore the former president’s account. “Vox Populi, Vod Dei,”he tweeted some time later. 24 hours after this tweet, the vote was closed and Elon Musk announced that the expulsion of Donald Trump would be lifted.

Shortly thereafter, @realDonaldTrump returned online, but the former president has yet to tweet anything. Donald Trump stated some time ago that he would not return to the platform even if his account was restored.

The decision was made after the organization of voting on the platform

The option to lift the ban won with 51.8% of 15,085,458 votes. While the voting was active, Elon Musk wrote that he was receiving a million votes per hour, with “armies of bots and trolls”responsible for part of this activity.

While the multi-billionaire has always said he would reactivate Donald Trump’s account, he also promised to set up a board of moderators before restoring any permanent bans. This weekend, he also restored the accounts of some important companies, including Kathy Griffin and Jordan Peterson. At that time, a decision in favor of Donald Trump had not yet been made.

However, this “return”of the former president to the platform seems more like a business decision than anything else. Another way, perhaps, is to try and put advertisers back in your pocket. In the end, Elon Musk emphatically stated that “Twitter cannot become a ruin where everyone can say whatever they want without consequences!” As of this writing, it’s hard to imagine what impact this decision to lift Donald Trump’s ban on the platform could have. To be continued!

The people spoke.

Trump will be reinstated.

Vox Populi vox dei. https://t.co/jmkhFuyfkv
