Trump Rejects Twitter Return Despite Musk's Reinstatement Poll
Former President Donald Trump declines to rejoin Twitter after Elon Musk reinstates his account based on a narrow public poll. Trump states he plans to stick with his own platform, Truth Social.
Donald Trump openly rejects the idea of returning to Twitter, even as new owner Elon Musk reinstates his previously banned account. Musk makes the decision to restore the former president's profile after running a public poll on the social media platform, declaring that the people have spoken.
Over 15 million Twitter users cast their votes in the highly publicized poll, resulting in a narrow victory for reinstatement with 51.8% in favor. Trump originally loses his account access following the January 6 Capitol riots due to his role in inciting violence.
Despite regaining access to his massive follower base, Trump confirms he has no interest in posting on Twitter again. Instead, he chooses to remain exclusively on his own rival platform, Truth Social, as he recently launches his 2024 presidential campaign.
