Donald Trump is back on Twitter after the Elon Musk poll

The @realDonaldTrump account and its tweets are fully visible again, just days after Trump confirmed he would run for president again in 2024.

Elon Musk has announced that Donald Trump is allowed to rejoin Twitter. Musk justified the decision based on the results of his personal Twitter poll. Shortly after taking control of the social network, Musk said he would not restore banned accounts until the company formed and convened a content moderation council with "widely diverse perspectives." by Trump while on stage. Trump's last tweet came two days after the US Capitol riots, where he said he would not be attending President Biden's inauguration. "To all who asked, I will not be attending the inauguration on January 20th," Trump tweeted.

But he is smart. Throughout Trump's White House tenure, Twitter has been central to his presidency, benefiting the company in the form of countless hours of user engagement. Twitter often took a light-touch approach to moderate his account, at times arguing that as a public official, the then-president should be given wider latitude to speak. When asked if he was considering returning to Twitter, the former president said he probably wouldn't. "I haven't seen it because I don't see any reason to," Trump said.

He said he would stick with his new platform, Truth Social, developed by his Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG) startup, which has better user engagement than Twitter and is doing "great". Truth Social is better than Twitter and it cares about voices. It is very "mighty and strong". Trump said that Truth Social has made room for many people, and he doesn't see them going back to Twitter.
