A day earlier, Musk had restored comedian Kathy Griffin, Jordan Peterson & the Babylon Bee’s banned accounts.

Trump was permanently banned from Twitter in the wake of the January 6 Capitol riot, with the platform citing “the risk of further incitement of violence.” The restoration of Trump’s account does not come as a surprise: Musk had alluded to this possibility several months ago, calling the ban “morally wrong.” While the Twitter deal was being negotiated, Musk exchanged texts with former CEO Parag Agrawal in which he indicated he intends to reinstate all accounts that have been permanently banned, with the expectation of spam accounts and ones that “explicitly advocate violence.” The removal of bans is part of the billionaire’s vision to turn twitter into a “free speech” haven.

With his account restored on a much bigger platform, all eyes will be on the former president’s next steps. Musk also tweeted earlier this month that he had conversed with several civil society leaders including ADL’s Greenblatt on how to combat hate and harassment on Twitter. After acquiring Twitter late last month, Musk had promised to set up a moderation council with “widely diverse viewpoints” which would advise the company on content decisions and account reinstatements. The restoration of Trump’s account following a Twitter poll is Musk’s latest u-turn on a previously announced plan.
