Elon Musk on Saturday reinstated former President Trump's Twitter account, three weeks after acquiring the social media company for $44 billion and shortly after millions of accounts voted in favor (52% of more than 15 million total votes) of the decision through a poll Musk posted Friday night.
- In a tweet, Musk said, “The people have spoken. Trump will be reinstated.”
Why it matters: Trump used Twitter as his primary communication tool when running for president, and then while in office.
