Donald Trump unbanned on Twitter after Elon Musk poll WikiMedia CommonsFormer President of the United States, Donald Trump has had his Twitter account reinstated after Elon Musk put his return to a poll \u2013 and his supporters just eeked it out. At the end of October, Tesla and SpaceX boss Elon Musk finally completed his multi-billion dollar buyout of Twitter after months of negotiations. The South African billionaire paid a reported $44 billion for the social media platform, and has already set about making some changes. Musk has implemented a shake-up to Twitter\u2019s verification process, started focusing more on the premium Twitter Blue service, and reinstated a number of controversial figures that had previously been banned. The suspension of Donald Trump\u2019s account has lingered as a question for Musk since his takeover, with many of the former president\u2019s supporters believing he should be reinstated \u2013 even if he won\u2019t return to use the platform. Donald Trump Twitter account unbanned Well, Musk put the reinstatement of Trump to a Twitter poll on November 19, with a simple yes or no question. After 24 hours, and over 15 million votes, the former President has now been reinstated. \u201cThe people have spoken. Trump will be reinstated. Vox Populi, Vox Dei,\u201d Musk tweeted upon the poll\u2019s completion. The Latin statement stands for \u201cthe voice of the people, the voice of God,\u201d indicating that the public has won out. As it stands, Trump\u2019s account is back, as are all of his previous tweets, but he has not yet posted anything new to this point. The former Apprentice host has started up his own social media platform in the wake of his Twitter ban, and seems quite content to stick over there for the time being. Musk had previously stated, on October 28, that there would be no \u201cmajor\u201d decisions made on reinstatements before he had formed a Twitter moderation council. Though, it\u2019s taken less than a month for that statement to be proven incorrect.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
