Musk reinstates Trump's Twitter account

Twitter's new owner Elon Musk has said Donald Trump's account has been reinstated after running a poll in which users narrowly backed the move. "The people have spoken," tweeted Mr Musk, saying that 51.8% of more than 15 million Twitter users voted for the ban to be lifted. After being banned Mr Trump - who had had tens of millions of Twitter followers - later launched his own social media platform, Truth Social. Mr Musk, the world's richest man, took control of Twitter in October in a $44bn deal. With just over a week before the US midterm elections on 8 November, he responded to questions about whether he would reinstate Mr Trump's account by tweeting: "If I had a dollar for every time someone asked me if Trump is coming back on this platform, Twitter would be minting money!".
