Musk let Twitter users vote on whether Trump’s account should be reinstated. Only minutes after a small percentage of daily active users voted in favor, the profile was re-enabled.
Three weeks ago, Musk announced that before major accounts were reinstated, a council would be formed to address controversial content. This is now obsolete
So far, Trump has always emphasized that he wants to stick with his own Twitter copy of Truth Social. In a speech on Saturday, he said “I see no reason” to return to Twitter. “Truth Social has been very, very strong, very, very strong and I will stay there.”
Until Musk took over, Twitter executives had always said there was no way for the ex-president to return. Musk, who recently acknowledged the political stances of Trump’s Republicans, had stressed months ago that he said there should be no lifelong ban on the service. He explicitly cited Trump as an example.
Trump has been banned from Twitter since January 2021. On January 6, he had expressed his condolences on stage for his supporters who had stormed the Capitol – the seat of the US parliament in Washington.

Musk last week fired other Twitter employees who internally or publicly criticized him.
Musk issued an ultimatum to employees left over from his first wave of layoffs to either work overtime or leave the company.
Elon Musk’s “take it or leave it” was not well received. Hundreds of employees voluntarily left Twitter, including many senior executives.

People are starting to say that Elon Musk isn’t actually a real engineer. But he said firmly, “I don’t know why people think Twitter is so complicated. I could fix it in a weekend.” And then proceeded to screw everything up. That’s just like an engineer.

Elon Musk probably didn’t forward a chain letter in 2008.
That’s what he got from it now… 😱
