Donald Trump is officially back on Twitter after Elon Musk said in a tweet Saturday night that the former president was going to be reinstated.
Trump, 76, was banned from the social media platform after the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection.
On Friday, Musk posted a 24-hour Twitter poll asking users to decide if the controversial Trump, who recently announced a new run for the White House, should be reinstated on the embattled platform.
In the end, more than 15 million people voted, with those choosing to reinstate Trump taking 51.8% of the vote to 48.2% who said no.
“The people have spoken. Trump will be reinstated. Vox Populi, Vox Dei,” Musk wrote just after 8 p.m.
The Latin phrase means “the voice of the people is the voice of God.”
While the poll was still open, Trump posted on his Truth Social account claiming he wouldn’t be quickly returning to Twitter.
“Vote now with positivity, but don’t worry, we aren’t going anywhere. Truth Social is special!” he said, sharing a screenshot of Musk’s Twitter poll.
Trump has an agreement with Truth Social to keep his posts exclusive on the platform for eight hours before he can share elsewhere, the Washington Post reported. There are exceptions to the deal that say he can make posts about political messaging, fundraising or voting efforts, the newspaper stated.
As of 10:30 p.m. Saturday, Trump, who was a frequent — and controversial — tweeter before his ban, has yet to make a comment on the embattled Twitter platform.
