Elon Musk, the new boss of Twitter, restored on Saturday the account of former US President Donald Trump, banned from the social network following the assault on Capitol Hill in Washington in January 2021. “The people have spoken. Trump will be restored, ”tweeted the whimsical entrepreneur on his own account following the result of a survey launched among his subscribers. More than fifteen million responded and 51.8% voted in favor of “yes” to the return of the Republican politician on the platform.
A few minutes following his message, Donald Trump’s account was visible once more, the last message dating from January 8, 2021. The number of subscribers, which seems to have started once more at zero, already amounted to around 300,000 around 00:20 UT.
