Another effective "snarketing" move by Elon Musk. The poll is from his account, not an official twitter poll. He knows it will get retweeted everywhere.
Donald Trump won't come back to twitter if he is unblocked. He has his own thing now, that he controls. He won't put himself at the mercy of Elon or anybody.
Elon also hilariously posted "vox populi. Vox dei" with his poll.
Having no clue the context ...

Like we need more of a reason to avoid/ignore Twitter?
Phuhqu'em both.

One possible benefit: to the criminal prosecution of Trump.
His past tweets are all public again, and they are evidence.
I'm sure that information was preserved if needed anyway.

Not for the general public, which was my point. A lot of Americans never saw what Trump posted in the lead up to Jan. 6, and it's important that they do.

That may be a good point, I was not trying to be argumentative. I assumed you were talking strictly about criminal prosecution as that was what you're post was suggesting.

The whole poll thing sounded like Musk had already made up his mind, just wanted some rationalization to hide behind. As I understood it, it was posted off his twitter account such that only followers could vote. So persons inclined to go along with his views in the first place as compared to the general population. Even then only 52% were for it.

Musk "only" bought Twitter to reinstate Trump. If Trump wasn't banned, he wouldn't have been interested. Now he's giving us a lesson.

Your instinct is telling you that.

I don’t know about libs of tt, but he claims he’s going to (demoitize?) demote or otherwise make it impossible to see this sort of stuff (unless you go looking for it). Don’t know if that’ll work, but even if it does, then that’s effectively cancelling them….and isn’t that what he said he wouldn’t do? Which begs the question, why did he do all this to begin with (I know rhetorical question)? He knows he’s made a mistake, but was forced to go through with it anyway. Guess he realizes the best thing he can do is give the appearance he’s ‘fixed’ it and wash his hands of it.
