Musk made the announcement in the evening after holding a poll that asked Twitter users to click “yes” or “no” on whether Trump’s account should be restored. The “yes” vote won, with 51.8%.From our newsroom to your inbox at noon, the latest headlines, stories, opinion and photos from the Toronto Sun.By clicking on the sign up button you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.

And on Saturday, during a video speech to a Republican Jewish group meeting in Las Vegas, Trump said that he was aware of Musk’s poll but that he saw “a lot of problems at Twitter,” according to Bloomberg. His efforts to reshape the site have been both swift and chaotic. Musk has fired many of the company’s 7,500 full-time workers and an untold number of contractors who are responsible for content moderation and other crucial responsibilities. His demand that remaining employees pledge to “extremely hardcore” work triggered a wave of resignations, including hundreds of software engineers.
Trump lost his access to Twitter two days after his supporters stormed the Capitol, soon after the former president had exhorted them to “fight like hell.” 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.
But in a speech at an auto conference in May, Musk asserted that Twitter’s ban of Trump was a “morally bad decision” and “foolish in the extreme.”
The media hates Kanye and Elon Musk more than they ever hated Epstein or Harvey Weinstein… This should worry everyone.
Love twitter...now thats democracy
And this is amazing 👍❤
As a kid I was told if I don't like what's on tv change the channel. Don't like what I'm reading stop reading it. I don't care who's on it, if I don't like what they say scroll on bye
Democracy 👍
Headline should read 'Musk making great strides towards allowing free speech back on Twitter'
Time to find a new platform
Legendary 👏👏👏
sunlorrie Nice!
sunlorrie Let Trump talk all he wants I IGNORE HIM

OrangeManBad
Amen 🙏 at least mail in ballots couldn't change the outcome
We may find out how many of the 48% are bot's. That should scare the mass media like the Toronto Sun.
Over 15 million votes over 24 hours, Trump wins majority, Trumps account logging 1 million per hour
Chalk one up for free speech.
Like there was any question. He spent $44BN to get back a guy who won't pay for a check mark. MW advertisers already ran away from this dumpster fire post Jan 6.
And the people who should care less about Trump will feign indignance over this 🙄 Who cares who's on Twitter.
Don’t talk about him he is nobody
'Twitter is a private company. They can do whatever they want.' Remember?🙄🤡
Good!
Your reminder he called for peace
A poll of how many and who is the question.
Good. The left will actually have to debate.
Amazing. Finally
Elon Musk is determined to destroy this platform. 🤯
I didn’t get to vote🤷🏻♀️
Here we go again..Trump manipulates followers with lies and threats, they follow like blind sheep and kiss his feet and look like naive fools with chants and flags. Can't wait.
You guys are truly pathetic. You just scroll twitter and 5 minutes later you “publish” an “article” about what you just read. You better pray twitter survives. How will you get your stories otherwise?
They haven’t counted the mail in votes yet
GOOD.
