Twitter: Elon Musk plans a ‘general amnesty’ for suspended accounts

The Tesla and SpaceX boss has repeatedly explained that he bought Twitter because he sees the platform as the essential “digital public square” for democracy in the world.

Elon Musk released a new poll on Wednesday about reinstating suspended Twitter accounts, after his latest poll led him to welcome Donald Trump to the platform.

Five hours later, more than two million accounts had already spoken, largely in favor of “yes”, up to 71%.

The new owner and CEO of Twitter has already rehabilitated this Saturday the account of former US President Donald Trump, banned from the social network after the assault on the Washington Capitol in January 2021.

“The people have spoken. Trump will be restored,” he said after 15 million accounts responded to his poll on the return of the Republican billionaire, including 51.8% in favor of “yes.”

many reviews

Elon Musk believes that content moderation is too restrictive and undermines free speech. This view raises fears of a wave of abuse (misinformation, hate speech) on the social network.

Many brands have already suspended ad spend, which Twitter is 90% dependent on for revenue.

Musk has also been criticized for his decisions at the helm of Twitter, from mass layoffs to the chaotic rollout of new features.
