Elon Musk reinstates Donald Trump's Twitter account

Twitter owner Elon Musk launched a poll Friday on the social media company asking if former United States President Donald Trump should be allowed back on the platform.

'Reinstate former President Trump_' Musk wrote in a post which garnered more than 4.4 million impressions at the time of publication.

More than 55 percent of users voted 'yes_' while 44 percent said 'no.'

the American billionaire implied that he was mulling whether to reinstate Trump's Twitter account.

'Trump decision has not yet been made_' tweeted Musk_ as he announced three high-profile reinstatements of accounts that were banned by the social media giant.
'Kathie Griffin_ Jorden Peterson & Babylon Bee have been reinstated_' said Musk.

Trump had about 88.8 million followers when Twitter permanently suspended the former US president's account in January 2021_ citing his role in the Jan. 6 riot at the United States Capitol and the potential for more violence.

Elon Musk had forecast a Trump return in May when he called the expulsion 'morally wrong and flat-out stupid.'
