Everyone has been gum-smacked by the announcement with surprising initial results: UPI began by saying Elon Musk, the controversial billionaire who recently bought the social networking site Twitter, has polled its users on whether to reinstate the account of former President Donald Trump; it continued by adding the simple poll, which asked users to respond "yes" or "no" on whether to reinstate Trump's account, received nearly 5 million responses within hours as the vote hovered around 53% opposed to 47% supportive of the decision.
The majority of his poll results will naturally skew to conservative results since most of his followers are conservative. Most of his polls are pointless anyway as he's already decided on what to do when he posts them. Trump will be unbanned regardless of what the results are.

The poll is still going and many are posting to see what happens. The initial results are surprising for Trump who had just announced that he would be willing to stand for the 2024 US presidential elections.

"In the context of horrific events this week, we made it clear on Wednesday that additional violations of the Twitter Rules would potentially result in this very course of action," a statement on Twitter's blog said at the time the US news agency added. "Our public interest framework exists to enable the public to hear from elected officials and world leaders directly. It is built on a principle that the people have a right to hold power to account in the open."
