Elon Musk took a poll on Twitter to see how people would vote for bringing back President Donald J Trump. The results of the poll finalized after 24 hours with 51.8% of Twitter users voting to reinstate and 48.2% voting no.
As a result of the poll, perhaps an exhibition in what Musk perceives as democracy, a short while ago the Twitter account of Donald J Trump was reinstated.
President Donald J Trump could, if he wanted to, send Tweets again.
However, it is doubtful he will use the platform as he seems quite comfy on Truth Social and has indicated he did not intend to return to the Twitter platform.
Then again, he has this attention-grabbing opportunity as a golden arrow in his communication quiver. Whatever President Trump might possibly tweet upon return would be picked up and discussed globally.
Would have been much higher if the millions of us who were kicked out for minor infractions had been able to vote
America1sgt Yep!
Exactly right. I was permanently suspended the same day as POTUS Trump, January 8. They denied 12 appeals until I quit asking.
Me too. Now I’m on Truth Social and never looking back.
I quit Twitter the day DJT was suspended! Just went back a week ago, and joined Truth Social yesterday. But, to be honest, I only go on both to troll and harass Leftists …
I think MILLIONS were culled from Twitter, even here in the UK.
President Trump’s twitter account shows 52,155,282 followers as of right now.
Does Joe have any followers?
A few Fetterman voters and bots.
81 million /s
In all 54 states, too.
As of now, Joey Shitferbrainz Biden has 36,411,480 followers.
As of now, PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS 72,316,783 FOLLOWERS.
He’s going to need ‘double’ that amount, with no bots.
I’ve never been on Twitter, but am thinking about joining now, just to up President Trump’s numbers.
Maybe he’ll post fall of ’24 and take everybody over the finish line, again, & again and yet for a third time.
Very true! We are still “suspended on Twitter” and are hoping to be reinstated over time. God Bless President Trump and Elon Musk! Freedom of Speech, Constitution, Country First!
Don’t tout your praises for Elon
He made 2 blunders on this
Having a poll to see if PJT was worth of reinstatement and not allowing Alex jones back on
Seems like not free speech to me per what it stands for and conditions abound
Be careful here with musk
Dear WTLT01,
“Don’t tout your praises for Elon”
Why not give credit for reinstating Trump?
Elon just gave Trump a FREE global chance
to expose Hunter Biden and the FBI cover up.!!!!
Two things have happened since the election steal of 2020: I won’t watch Fox News and I am not going back to Twitter, particularly as I have learned from Sundance Twitter is part of the Fourth Branch. And I still do not use Facebook. Nope, not interested in being abused.
Anyone think the ‘vote’ was a ruse to pull PDJT back into the surveillance state? I do.
Maybe a ruse to pull US back into a more manageable surveillance state.
Dear JackBolly,
”Anyone think the ‘vote’ was a ruse to pull PDJT back into the surveillance state?”
So what.
“Twitter Has 396.5 Million Users Globally
In fact, Twitter sees about 206 million daily active users, ensuring they’re always coming back to see what others are tweeting about.”
People need to Hear Trump..
Trump’s side of the story will make Democrats run from cameras
and hide in their mothers’ basements.
It’s so much fun to watch, it’s probably a sin.
Folks I have a question… of the 48.2% that “voted” against the return of Pres. Trump… how many of those were Sock Puppet Accounts, Bots and/or Mitt Romney Accounts?
Could be many…caught in a Bot Hunt.
And, I would LOVE to see who the presstitute accounts were…
Pierre Delecto voted early and often.
Early on when I looked, 68% wanted the reinstatement. Musk has commented that he found it interesting watching the troll armies come into play and he’ll use this imformation to clean future polls.
That is awesome!! They couldn’t have Trump win by a landslide now, could they. Good for Musk.
Great!
I read that tweet of his saying it was interesting watching the voting. I did not read that he said “troll armies”. Did he?
BARIUM TEST.
48%
48%. Probably a more accurate analysis of the true number of bot accounts on Twitter than the one Musk received from Parag Agrawal.
Yeah… only thing is there is a decimal point missing in your number. Should’a read 4.8% against reinstatement.
Seems to apply to the elections—same algorithmic proportions. Almost seems like another trolling mechanism.
President Trump’s follower count on Twitter had quickly risen to 3M or more at one point after his account was reinstated. Then I left my screen for maybe an hour and the follower count had dropped down into the 400K range by the time I returned to check the count.
I wasn’t there to see what happened in real time, but it seems to me that someone might have reset Trump’s follower count to zero again after Trump was already reinstated. And the 400K were the new followers coming on board since being banned. We are currently at ~973.6K followers.
I doubt the reduction in followers would be due to bot deletion.
Someone on Twitter said that it would take a while for all his followers to restore to what they were.
Thanks myfairlady53 ~
That makes sense. I just didn’t understand the big drop in followers after increasing up to 3+M. No big deal I guess. Just curious.
So will all of President Trump’s followers at the time he was banned be automatically restored (minus people who not longer have accounts)? Or do Trump supporters have to manually follow Trump’s account again?
I’m not that familiar with how the process works.
I answered my own question.
Is Dominion tallying the followers?
Major Broadcast Networks are Now Starting to Boycott Twitter Over Elon Musk’s Free Speech Reforms
https://beckernews.com/major-broadcast-networks-are-now-starting-to-boycott-twitter-over-elon-musks-free-speech-reforms-47753/
LOL!!!! Fake news eating their own?
CBS/CSNBC has “disenrolled” from Twitter.
The stooges at See BS and See Nothing But Crap will not be missed.
By the way after leaving Twitter where are they going to push their false narratives/propaganda.
Sux to be them.
Libtards and their mouth pieces are always climbing over each other to virtue signal.
Somehow, criticizing, and/or leaving Twitter is now an act of resistance.
All the cool kids have something to say about the new Musk Twitter.
This, after 7 years of running the place, and using it to virtue signal.
Of course this was going to happen, but it’s still funny.
The funny thing is that if they leave Twitter no one will notice.
Excellent. Virtue signal your way to oblivion, fossils. People aren’t going to go backwards to broadcast television when they have instant news online.
Oh no… what will they use now?
How long do you think they can last without their narcissism on line being fed?
Will they all move to Canada?
Did Cher move to Canada yet?
Canada blocked her based on climate concerns over hair spray usage.
Oh my, fake news is going to boycott less than three percent of the worlds population. I can’t help but wonder what percent of the population is already boycotting the major broadcast that though? will it even be noticeable?
I am kind of “shocked” that Trump won even by a small margin as I had figured most of his supporters were banned from twit or just left, so they couldn’t have voted.
Most of his apparent supporters. There are many who fully support him but aren’t public about their political opinions.
I have to be on Twitter because I trade the market & there is a ton of info there…so I’m glad our real POTUS is back…although I wonder if he’ll actually post there.
I started an account in April, when Elon began making noises. I’d quit years before. It’s fun again. And an excellent sources of breaking stories.
Maybe some new users joined Twitter for the first time just so they could vote.
I think they blocked the Trump supporters who had the most followers. They prioritized blocking by level of influence – the more followers (influence) your account had, the more likely they blocked you. However, even that “rule” was not consistently followed.
LMAO. Dropping this here for fans of Shawn Farash.
“MY FELLOW AMERICANS…”
Just curious. If the libs leave Twitter, how will they be able to go viral? Will they go to truth? GETTR? Gab? Parler? We need to sell some pillows on Twitter!
They’re all on Tik Tok now. Letting the CCP steal their personal info and data.
I think they have 2 new platforms….Mastodon and something like Tribal?
That will be the 2024 result as well
Trump 52%
Harris 48%
It will be Trump versus Fetterman.
Not if THEY have anything to say about it.
It will be a WEF puppet, either a hairdo from Cal., or a hairdo from Florida, and they don’t CARE which.
Very interesting.
MAGA
Oh and by the way let freedom ring!!!
Why would / should someone care whether or not someone else is on twitter? Can’t you simply block that person? The real reason 48.2% of twitter users don’t want Trump using the platform is that are afraid of him.
Great. Now do the same for me. A few years ago there was a Q-post video of a 75-year-old guy at a rally in DC, where two guys in their early 20s-ish came up behind him and sucker punched him in the back of the neck. He went down on the ground on his stomach, and they repeatedly stomped on his neck in an attempt to break it. I don’t know if he survived but, all I said was, “These two need to be beat within an inch of their lives,” and I’ve been permanently banned from Twitter ever since. I don’t get it. -_-
Now that Mr. Musk has a handle on what democracy is he can move on to discover what a republic is – a system that stresses and protects the rights of individuals from the pushes of the majority.
When he gets that under his belt these silly opinion polls will have no room on a platform selling itself as a place for freedom of speech.
I demand a RECOUNT of this poll validated only by paper ballots and a legitimate ID!
NAY, NAY I call for a new poll because the original poll was corrupt and did not include POTOS Trump!!
Fear not! It was only 24 hours the true results won’t be know until…. there’s enough votes to ban Trump once again….
Now let’s do it for the actual presidency.
whatever President Trump posts on Truth Social will also be posted on twitter by othrs
btw, Elon Musk is doing polls on who should be on twitter? I call bs on that process.
Takes full responsibility off his shoulders, and might have been a bot hunt to boot.
I don’t know why anyone would want to be on Twitter. I love being on Truth Social with our President. I’m free to say whatever I want with no fear of censorship.
Sounds like the “Inn Keepers”, after saying there was no room at the Inn are now saying they took a vote a decided there is room at the Inn.
Too late. The “manger” set up worked just fine. I’ll stay out here where I am closer to the flock
Thanks, butt no thanks.
“Thanks, butthead, but no thanks.”

eh, never used twitter, so the only way I will know if Trump posted is if I read about it elsewhere.
Triggered by Musk, CBS News announces it’s suspending all Twitter activity out of ‘abundance of caution’
November 19, 2022
-snipped-
NewsBusters managing editor Curtis Houck blasted the outlet, tweeting, “Pure idiocy from CBS News. Don’t whine then about why people don’t trust you when they can’t find you in the 21st century’s public square.”
He added, “CBS News quitting Twitter because they think @ElonMusk will allow hackers or something into their accounts is so weak. This is so stupid my head hurts.”
Journalist Timothy Burke tweeted, “I’m told this applies to all CBS-owned properties.
https://www.foxnews.com/media/triggered-musk-cbs-news-announces-suspending-all-twitter-activity-abundance-caution
I voluntarily exiled myself from Twitter years ago, when it was becoming clear even then what a hyper-woke, narcissistic cesspool of incivility it was becoming. Being pushed out of that particular swamp was one of the best things to happen to the President.
One more tweet, well timed at some point during the election campaign, for maximum effect. Then President Trump should wash his hands for good of the sordid little site.
I’m a big fan of free speech, but it’s clear that the ability to express oneself responsibly in public is a function of maturity. And frankly, today’s woke cadres are challenged in that department. Mature opinion, seasoned by thoughtful life experience, comes to places like the Treehouse to post. Opinion weaned on participation trophies infests places like Twitter. The difference in atmosphere is night and day and, frankly, the President has better things to do with his time.
Trump could also use Twitter to post “teasers” about a breaking truth social post that is about to hit.
There could be many things Twitter may be useful for to him.
😁😂🤣

More reports of voting machines switching Romney votes to Obama. Pay close attention to the machines, don’t let your vote be stolen.

@thevivafrei
Holy shiat, I never realized how ludicrous the justification to ban
@realdonaldtrump
was. This does not read like a justification. It reads like an deranged fabrication.
@elonmusk
was right to fire anyone and everyone who had a hand in this idiocy.

I quit #Twittifa 2 years ago and will never return. There are better options such as Gettr for sharing information.
Musk suggested that the poll was a “bot” identification operation.
NO conspiracies
… and no coincidences.
You know, I don’t really think this has much to do with Musk wanting to be “democratic” about the reinstatement. I think it’s something much more interesting. I think he’s wanting to call attention to the Bots and trolls.
I mean look, if this poll had taken place a month or two ago, before Elon was in charge and had started making big changes, what would it have looked like? I believe it would have been a blowout AGAINST Trump. No chance would “Yes” have won. But the reason for that would have been because the place was still swarming with Bots… and the vast majority of those Bots were ANTI-Trump (and anti-US!). But now that they’re starting to clean the place up a bit, we’re gonna start seeing real, legitimate numbers of pro and con. I still don’t think it’s there yet, I still think there are plenty of Bots, and a LOT of trolls, and most of them are on the side of the bad guys. But it’s sure better now than it was not so long ago.
So yeah… I very much think this is a big reason why Musk did this the way he did… with a poll.
Or like someone mentioned above, what if this was an exercise to identify troll accounts?
What single one thing would bring out all known Twitter bot/hackers working towards ensuring a “left” narrative??
If you can find a single thing Elon could’ve done that would’ve activated every bot account besides this one, please let us know.
You must view Elon’s actions through an engineering/problem solving paradigm. He simply doesn’t think about things the way you do, period.
😁
Thanks Sundance, Peshwa Warrior Trump is always a great way to start the morning. I don’t know for sure, but yesterday it seemed like mob rule was in charge over at Twitter, I pointed that out in several Twits (sic) throughout the day to his Royal Highness, the bestower of gifts from on high, Elon. Restore Trumps account not because of the outcome of a silly poll but because it was the right thing to do if freedom of speech is REALLY the goal. But maybe it was some diabolical plot to out bots, who knows. It’s not like anything is real anymore.
This is our brave new future? We are to live or die on social media … and then … biologically … according to majority vote? Is Elon attempting to show the folly of “pure” Democracy. The kind of Democracy demanded by our leftist masters? Or is he ushering in the destruction of mankind?
Since when is a majority vote required to obtain freedom of speech? Does everyone who wants to post on Twitter have to go through that process? I think not. I applaud what Elon is doing, but this is BS!
I am not on Twitter, Facebook and the like and never will be. Hollow victory.
I’m sure the disastrous trio of McConnell, McCarthy and Rona will say it was voter fraud.
They have restored PJT’s Jan 7th speech about J6
But they haven’t put this back up. Let’s go Elon. Get on it
When President Trump realized a particular “club” was not so friendly, he simply built a better club nearby.
That better club of course is Mar-A-Lago.
The not so friendly nearby club was the Bath and Tennis club. That club didn’t allow people who were black or Jewish.
He basically did the same thing here. He built Truth Social. A more open and inviting platform.
Thanks, but no thanks. No need to go back to the old club. I built my own. Come join.

This is good but the whims of the mob decide who gets free speech rights on twitter? Musk should have just reinstated him and thumbed his nose at the ADL and other censorious groups.
Musk must be enjoying his turn at the wheel.
Trifecta! Trump, Twit, Truth.
Trump postings on Truth can, and will be, linked; with Trump using Twitter to amplify Truth to the billions in the twitterverse – sorry, I could’t pass it up.
Until Alex Jones is reinstated letting President Trump back is deceitful. Freedom of Speech applies to all. I shall choose and decide what I read so please Mr Musk give me the opportunity.
He should tweet once a week or so with a high-quality troll.
Free speech isn’t a popularity contest and shouldn’t be up for a vote.
I think that there is more to Musk’s poll than it seems on the surface. Hard to get a bearing on where he comes from or is going. But after all, apps like Twitter are private platforms so they can do what they want. When we click “I agree” to the T&C’s we give them permission to suspend or deny access.
The line which we as free citizens have let Big Tech cross, is anti-trust. These monolithic social media, search and operating system platforms are essentially state sponsored communication monopolies. We would never ever accept censorship of voice conversations by cellphone providers. Nor would we accept T-Mobile blocking calls to and from Verizon.
The “public square” for social media lies in open standards for open interchange and free market competition. e.g. A Twitter user should be able to follow someone on Truth Social. If Twitter blocks open exchange, then the market must be be open and large enough to so we can move to another app. Because a few players now collude with government to prevent that, it has become government censorship and propaganda.
This IMO, is a clear measure of Musk’s intent to ensure a “public square” for social media to operate in. As the owner of the monopoly, he is in the position to initiate anti-trust action and to lead the way toward open standards and free market competition for message-based communication.
Yeah, Twitter is still mainly Leftists, so that’s how bad things are today. I left Twitter on my own a few months after DJT was kicked off . I found almost no one there to pay any attention to by that time. The ADL doesn’t like stuff like this though, so they are trying to finish it off.
Libtards on TS? Doubt there’s many. You need libtards on your platform. It’s useless to keep sending your message to one group. You need it to go out to all.
He came back with 20 million less followers. I don’t think the investors at Truth Social would be happy if Trump starts tweeting again at Twitter. That a shame, because his Truth Social account is not nearly the same. It sucks actually. Whoever is running it should be fired.
Investors should be demanding open market competition and open communication standards. Otherwise BigTech wins every time.
As long as one dominant social media app, say Twitter, blocks communication and interaction with people using a different app (say Truth Social), eventually the dominant player will gain monopolistic control. When the dominant player is also protected from anti-trust action by the State, it becomes a propaganda tool.
Users have to own their own data and apps need to compete for their business.
