Twitter owner Elon Musk on Thursday said he is granting “amnesty” for almost all banned accounts on the platform, a consequential policy change that follows a poll of the billionaire’s followers and comes just days after he reinstated former President Donald Trump's account after conducting a similar survey.
Musk’s unscientific poll attracted more than 3.1 million votes, with 72.4% in favor of widespread reinstatement.
On Saturday, Musk reinstated Trump minutes after a poll closed asking whether the former president's ban should be lifted, with 51.8% of more than 15 million votes cast in favor of allowing Trump back.
Twitter has unbanned numerous suspended accounts since Musk took over the platform last month—including profiles for rapper Kanye West, firebrand Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) and the conservative satirical website the Babylon Bee—but hard-right activists are pushing for much broader reinstatements, including for accounts banned for hate speech or sharing misinformation.
Musk has been pushed in particular to reinstate conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, who was permanently banned for abusive behavior in 2018, though the billionaire repeatedly said before Wednesday’s poll that he will not let him back on the platform.
“The people have spoken... Vox Populi, Vox Dei,” Musk tweeted when announcing his decision and the poll’s outcome. The phrasing is identical to that used by Musk when reinstating Trump. In Latin, the phrase translates to: “the voice of the people, the voice of God.”

I have two permanently suspended accounts. Will let you all know if anything changes. WWG1WGA
that’s a pretty good PhotoShop job
I see the fake Twitter employee, AOC, and Gray Beaver ... but who are the others?
I won’t go back to Twitter. One, I just need to, and Two, I just don’t like the interface, oh, and there is a Three, I just don’t like it!
Well, mine still says “permanently suspended” so.....
I went through 16 suspensions, the last one, permanent, just a month before midterms. Nothing suspicious here.
What about infowars and Alex Jones, Elon?
If he is granting amnesty he is saying they were guilty. So he agrees with the ce sora.
I have been permanently banned.
I just got a response when I, FOR THE TENTH TIME, requested to be reinstated and they responded that they determined my account was created to incite violence.
I defended DJT when liberals threatened violence against him and Conservatives and reported their threats. I was suspended when THEY reported me. I was reinstated months later, followed Dan Bongino and was permanently banned.
Nope.
Try again.
This is Forbes
They lie
I think the “brown guy” is the Google CEO.
Musk is Conor McGregor.
He was damned for not curing cancer before buying Twitter
FReepers are damning him for not unbanning folks quickly enough or unbanning them the wrong way or in the incorrect order.
Poor guy is damned by folks who didn’t or couldn’t do what he did.
Liberals all upset over free speech...

He is not a “poor guy”.
Plus he is getting heaps of praise on Twitter for what he’s doing.
Not from the far left crazies of course, who have gone and lost their minds.
It’s his baby....he’s got to get into the internals before he can make decisions...
