Elon Musk took over Twitter 3 weeks ago and immediately unleashed chaos that even made many users think that the platform would disappear. Well, the most recent polarizing decision during his administration is the reinstatement of the account of the 45th President of the United States of America, Donald Trump.
The manager organized a poll this weekend in which he asked Twitter users if they wanted him to reinstate Trump’s account, which had been suspended since January 2021, after he incited violence, precisely for encouraging the takeover of the Capitol by his supporters.
Elon Musk’s survey on Trump was a success and AMLO participated
Well, the survey ended on the afternoon of Saturday, November 19, and marked the return of the former US president. The decision, as expected, was very polarizing and went in favor of the return with a narrow difference of less than 2 percentage points.
In total, 15,085,458 votes were cast, of which 51.8% were in favor of the return of the former US president to the social network, in contrast to 48.2% of users who voted to maintain the suspension.
“Vox populi, vox Dei”, commented Elon Musk after he announced the results, showing that he believes he obeys the decision of the people and is governed by democracy.
Without a doubt, we are talking about the largest survey in the history of Twitter, as it reached more than 15 million participants and was seen by more than 134 million people. The event occurred shortly after the platform recorded the best day in its history, amid speculation about its possible closure and Musk’s mismanagement.
Something interesting is that the current president of Mexico, Andrés Manuel Lópex Obrador (AMLO), participated in the survey and not only made it known through his official account, but also revealed that he did so in favor of the former US president will recover your account, sustaining your decision in freedom.
“I already voted in favor of Trump being able to use Twitter. The Statue of Liberty should not remain an empty symbol,” commented the Mexican president.
Trump’s Twitter is back along with his millions of followers
After the results were announced, Elon Musk announced the return of the official account of the businessman Trump. In fact, anyone can now visit her again and even follow her. The most interesting thing is that all the tweets he has issued are also available.
Some netizens are claiming that the account is getting millions of followers in a matter of minutes, but apparently what is happening is that the followers it already had before its suspension are being reassigned. Naturally, Trump immediately trended on the platform.
Since the reinstatement of the account, the numbers of his followers have fluctuated. At the time of writing the note, the account already has around 500,000 followers, but we do not doubt that it will increase when more people find out about it and start following it.
Another detail that must be taken into account is that one thing is that Donald Trump’s account has been reestablished and another is that he decides to use it again; in fact, so far he has not issued any comment on the matter. After not being welcomed on social networks, Trump created his own social network, Mastodon, in which he and all people could express themselves freely.
The suspension happened years ago, but this changed with Elon Musk, who did not share the ideals of the old management.
Below you can see the last message on Twitter from Donald Trump on Twitter thanks to the fact that his account is no longer suspended.
