Elon Musk has restored Donald Trump’s Twitter account, after conducting a Twitter poll to determine whether the former president should be allowed back on the platform after he was banned following the January 6 Capitol insurrection for inciting violence. On Saturday, Trump said he had no plans to return to Twitter. Another banned user, Kanye West, also appears to have had his account restored. West was blocked last month, prior to Musk’s takeover, after posting antisemitic tweets. It remains to be seen whether Musk’s latest moves will cause more of Twitter’s dwindling staff and advertisers to leave.
