He said that if ever the Twitter acquisition becomes successful, he would reverse the permanent ban on the ex-POTUS.

The tech CEO explained that permanent bans undermine the trust in Twitter as a platform that allows users to voice their opinions, as reported by USA Today.

Now, it seems like he will really allow the former American leader back on Twitter.

His viral Twitter survey generated more than 360,000 likes, 46,000 quote tweets, and 141,000 retweets.

He even mentioned the "Vox Populi, Vox Dei," a popular Latin phrase meaning that the voice of the people is the voice of God.

Experts stated that Musk's initiative to seek users' approval before reviving the official account of Donald Trump is a part of his restructuring efforts.

As of writing, the billionaire is still making drastic changes on the platform, as well as Twitter's business itself.

But, since his actions included mass layoffs, many individuals criticized the billionaire.

What Twitter Users Say

If you visit the official Twitter poll of Elon Musk, you will see that majority of the votes want Donald Trump's account to return.

As of press time, more than 52% of the voters said "yes," while over 47% said no.

If you think that the poll is not a serious one, the new Twitter owner has already announced that the survey was able to receive more than one million votes in just one hour.

You can view Musk's official tweets to see the comments of Twitter users regarding the possible revival of Trump's account.

While Elon considers the return of the ex-U.S. president, the #RIPTwitter trended on the platform as users believed it would shut down.

Because of this, experts advised them to archive tweets just in case the social media platform closes.
