Elon Musk launches new Twitter poll on whether to allow suspended users back after he reinstated Trump's account based on another poll
  • Elon Musk is once again running a poll to make a big Twitter decision.
  • On Wednesday, he tweeted a poll asking if Twitter should bring back suspended accounts that haven't broken the law or "engaged in egregious spam."

Elon Musk $4 this week following results from a user poll, and he might do the same with other suspended accounts.

In a tweet Wednesday afternoon, Musk floated the idea of $4 en masse.

"Should Twitter offer a general amnesty to suspended accounts, provided that they have not broken the law or engaged in egregious spam?" his new $4 reads. As of this writing, more than 1.8 million users have voted, with 71.9% voting yes, and 28.1% voting no.

It is unclear how many users currently have their accounts suspended and for how long those accounts have been shut down.

This is Musk's second poll in a week on suspended accounts. Last Friday, he $4 asking whether to allow former president Donald Trump back on the platform. That poll received more than 15 million votes, with 51.8% opting to reinstate Trump.

Musk subsequently restored Trump's account, but Trump has not tweeted since. He was $4 nearly two years ago after his tweets $4 to storm the U.S. Capitol in the deadly Jan. 6 insurrection. He then started using a platform he founded soon after, Truth Social, to communicate.

Speaking virtually at the Republican Jewish Coalition's annual leadership meeting last weekend before the poll results were in, Trump $4 he wasn't interested in going back to Twitter."I don't see any reason for it, they have a lot of problems at Twitter, you see what's going on. It may make it, it may not make it," he said.

Last month, Musk $4 there would be no "major content decisions or account reinstatements" before Twitter formed a content moderation council. Responding to a tweet Tuesday, Musk $4, saying, "A large coalition of political/social activist groups agreed not to try to kill Twitter by starving us of advertising revenue if I agreed to this condition. They broke the deal."
