Elon Musk announced yesterday that former President Donald Trump will be allowed back on Twitter.
Musk made the announcement after conducting an online poll that attracted more than 15 million votes.
Just over 51% of respondents voted to bring Trump back to the social media app.
Musk tweeted:
“The people have spoken. Trump will be reinstated. Vox Populi, Vox Dei.”
It really shouldn’t have been put to a vote. Bringing Trump back should have been a given.
You either believe in free speech or you don’t, you can’t pick and choose. Free speech should not be contingent on majority approval or disapproval.
The idea that a former US President should be banned from expressing his views is, frankly, embarrassing.
Remember, dictators like the Ayatollah of Iran were permitted to remain on Twitter while Trump was banned.
And besides, Twitter was never as good as this classic Donald Trump tweet
Activist Karens were immediately triggered by news that Trump would be allowed to speak.
Shannon has pronouns in her bio so we ought not be surprised.
I’m not mocking here though. It’s terribly sad that freedom of speech is happening go her. Thoughts and prayers Karen.
Thoughts and prayers.
Twitter Welcomes Back Trump
I read that Musk was using the vote to identify bots who would vote against Trump.
Even those that hate him love to troll him and read his tweets that are of a high standard.
Go Trump! It’s time to change the name of the crazy ladies to ‘Hilary’. It’s giving us nice Karen’s a complex.
