After conducting a survey in which the decision was barely supported by users, Twitter’s new owner Elon Musk announced that Donald Trump’s account had had the ban placed on it lifted.
Elon Musk set up a poll on the site on Saturday, asking users if they thought the former president should be permitted back onto the app.
A sizable majority of 52% of the more than 15 million users who took part in the poll voted to reinstall the former US president.
“The people have spoken. Trump will be reinstated,” Musk tweeted of the former US president’s account, which was banned last year after a mob of his supporters attacked the US Capitol.
