Washington [US]: Former US President Donald Trump\u2019s Twitter account reappeared on Sunday after Elon Musk confirmed to reinstate his account.<\/p>\n
Elon Musk on Sunday confirmed to reinstate Trump\u2019s Twitter account.
\n\u201cThe people have spoken. Trump will be reinstated. Vox Populi, Vox Dei,\u201d tweeted Musk.<\/p>\n
Vox Populi, Vox Dei, a Latin phrase meaning \u201cthe voice of the people is the voice of God.\u201d<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Trump\u2019s account reappeared on Twitter after Musk\u2019s announcement.<\/p>\n
Trump\u2019s once-blocked Twitter account reappeared on the platform Saturday, minutes after company owner Elon Musk announced he was lifting the 22-month suspension on the former president over incitement of violence.<\/p>\n
Twitter CEO Musk has put up a poll asking users of the microblogging website to vote on whether to reinstate the account of Trump, who was earlier subjected to a lifetime ban over incitement of violence.<\/p>\n
\u201cReinstate former President Trump,\u201d the billionaire Twitter owner posted, with a chance to vote either yes or no. \u201cTrump poll getting ~1M votes\/hour,\u201d he said in a subsequent tweet.<\/p>\n
As per the survey, slightly over 15 million Twitter users voted in the poll with 51.8 per cent voting in favour of reinstatement.<\/p>\n
Trump had appeared less than keen earlier in the day.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t see any reason for it,\u201d the former president said via video when asked whether he planned to return to Twitter by a panel at the Republican Jewish Coalition\u2019s annual leadership meeting.<\/p>\n
Trump, who on Tuesday launched a bid to regain the White House in 2024, praised Musk and said he had always liked him. But Trump also said Twitter suffered from bots, and fake accounts and that the problems it faced were \u201cincredible\u201d.<\/p>\n
Earlier in 2020, Trump\u2019s account was suspended in the wake of the January 6 insurrection at Capitol Hill following the US Presidental elections, resulting in legal troubles for the former US President.<\/p>\n
This new policy is no surprise as the world\u2019s richest man has made several decisions in this manner, including one to buy Twitter.<\/p>\n
On Friday, Musk began reinstating accounts that were previously subject to indefinite bans for breaking the platform\u2019s rules. Author Jordan Peterson and comedian Kathy Griffin were among the first people whose accounts were reinstated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
