after being blocked from Twitter.<\/p>\n<p>And on Saturday, during a video speech to a Republican Jewish group meeting in Las Vegas,<\/p>\n<p>Trump said that he was aware of Musk\u2019s poll but that he saw \u201ca lot of problems at Twitter,\u201d according t Bloomberg.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI hear we\u2019re getting a big vote to also go back on Twitter. I don\u2019t see it because I don\u2019t see any reason for it,\u201d Trump was quoted as saying by Bloomberg.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt may make it, it may not make it,\u201d he added, apparently referring to Twitter\u2019s recent internal upheavals.<\/p>\n<p>The prospect of restoring Trump\u2019s presence to the platform follows Musk\u2019s purchase last month of Twitter \u2014 an acquisition that has fanned widespread concern that the billionaire owner will allow purveyors of lies and misinformation to flourish on the site.<\/p>\n<p>Musk has frequently expressed his belief that Twitter had become too restrictive of freewheeling speech.<\/p>\n<p>His efforts to reshape the site have been both swift and chaotic.<\/p>\n<p>Musk has fired many of the company\u2019s 7,500 full-time workers and an untold number of contractors who are responsible for content moderation and other crucial responsibilities.<\/p>\n<p>His demand that remaining employees pledge to \u201cextremely hardcore\u201d work triggered a wave of resignations, including hundreds of software engineers.<\/p>\n<p>Users have reported seeing increased spam and scams on their feeds and in their direct messages, among other glitches, in the aftermath of the mass layoffs and worker exodus.<\/p>\n<p>Some programmers who were fired or resigned this week warned that Twitter may soon fray so badly it could actually crash.<\/p>\n<p>Musk\u2019s online survey, which ran for 24 hours before ending Saturday evening, concluded with 51.2% of more than 15 million votes favoring the restoration of Trump\u2019s Twitter\u2019 account.<\/p>\n<p>It comes four days after Trump announced his candidacy for the presidency in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Trump lost his access to Twitter two days after his supporters stormed the Capitol, soon after the former president had exhorted them to \u201cfight like hell.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Twitter dropped his account after Trump wrote a pair of tweets that the company said cast further doubts on the legitimacy of the presidential election and raised risks for the Biden presidential inauguration.<\/p>\n<p>After the Jan. 6 attack, Trump was also kicked off Facebook and Instagram, which are owned by Meta Platforms, and Snapchat.<\/p>\n<p>His ability to post videos to his YouTube channel was also suspended.<\/p>\n<p>Facebook is set to reconsider Trump\u2019s account suspension in January.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout his tenure as president, Trump\u2019s use of social media posed a significant challenge to major social media platforms that sought to balance the public\u2019s interest in hearing from public officials with worries about misinformation, bigotry, harassment and incitement of violence.<\/p>\n<p>But in a speech at an auto conference in May, Musk asserted that Twitter\u2019s ban of Trump was a \u201cmorally bad decision\u201d and \u201cfoolish in the extreme.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this month, Musk, who completed the $44 billion takeover of Twitter in late October, declared that the company wouldn\u2019t let anyone who had been kicked off the site return until Twitter had established procedures on how to do so, including forming a \u201ccontent moderation council.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On Friday, Musk tweeted that the suspended Twitter accounts for the comedian Kathy Griffin, the Canadian psychologist Jordan Peterson and the conservative Christian news satire website Babylon Bee had been reinstated.<\/p>\n<p>He added that a decision on Trump had not yet been made. He also responded \u201cno\u201d when someone on Twitter asked him to reinstate the conspiracy theorist Alex Jones\u2019 account.<\/p>\n<p>In a tweet Friday, the Tesla CEO described the company\u2019s new content policy as \u201cfreedom of speech, but not freedom of reach.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He explained that a tweet deemed to be \u201cnegative\u201d or to include \u201chate\u201d would be allowed on the site but would be visible only to users who specifically searched for it.<\/p>\n<p>Such tweets also would be \u201cdemonetized, so no ads or other revenue to Twitter,\u201d Musk said.<\/p>\n<p>SOURCE: The Associated Press<\/p>\n<div id=\"antig-1912897651\" class=\"antig-in-comments_2 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/@hadeedmotorsltd\" aria-label=\"Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 1000w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:75\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:192\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" width=\"1000\" height=\"250\"   \/><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Elon Musk reinstated Donald Trump\u2019s account on Twitter on Saturday, reversing a ban that has kept the former president off the social media site since a pro-Trump mob attacked the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, as Congress was poised to certify Joe Biden\u2019s election victory.
