Nearly two years later, former US President Donald Trump's Twitter account has been "revived" again.

Wall Street noticed that as of press time, the account could be viewed, left messages and liked. In less than a day, the number of followers on the account has approached 25 million and is soaring. Before the ban, Trump's Twitter account had 88 million followers.

The account's most recent Twitter interaction continued to soar on January 8, 2021, with one of the most liked comments saying: welcome back, Donald.

Before unblocking, Musk launched an online poll asking Twitter users whether they should unblock Trump's Twitter account. A total of 15 million netizens voted within 24 hours, and the final voting results showed that 51.8% of netizens voted for unblocking.

Then Marc tweeted: "people have spoken out, and Trump's Twitter account will be unblocked." "

It is worth noting that US President Joe Biden will celebrate his 80th birthday on November 20, local time (the day after Trump's account was unsealed).

According to the Global Times, a violent demonstration took place in Washington, D.C., on January 6 last year. Some demonstrators rushed into the Capitol, disrupting a joint meeting of the Senate and House of Representatives, which is being held to certify the results of the general election. Before the joint meeting, Trump spoke to tens of thousands of protesting supporters outside the White House, reiterating that he would not admit defeat.

Twitter "permanently blocked" Trump's personal account on the grounds that there was a "risk of further inciting violence" after the congressional riots.

Although Musk's poll shows that more than half of the people want Trump to return to Twitter, Trump does not seem to have much interest.

Chinanews.com reported that when asked whether he planned to return to Twitter during the annual leaders' meeting of the Republican Jewish League on the 19th local time, Trump said, "I don't see any reason". He said he would stick to his self-created social platform Truth Social, which means "real social". He believes that Truth Social has more user engagement than Twitter and has performed "very well".

Trump also said he "likes Musk" after Musk bought Twitter, but also said he would stay on the Truth Social platform. Trump added that he believed that without himself, "Twitter could not have been successful."

In addition, a regulatory filing shows that Trump has an obligation to give priority to posts of a social nature on the Truth Social platform for a period of time, although there are exceptions, such as posts on certain political activities from personal accounts.

Just this week (the evening of November 15, local time), Trump held a press conference at Sea Lake Manor in Florida to officially announce his candidacy for the 2024 US presidential election. In this year's US mid-term elections, Republicans did not live up to expectations, narrowly winning the control of the House of Representatives by 218 votes or an eight-vote lead, while the Senate continued to be controlled by Democrats.

Interestingly, on the eve of the election, Musk openly stood in line to support the Republican Party.

"to independent-minded voters: decentralization can limit the worst excesses of both parties, so given that the president is a Democrat, I recommend voting for Republicans in congressional elections. "

The Global Times mentioned that Musk had repeatedly expressed his views on American politics and expressed his dissatisfaction with the Democratic Party. In an interview with the Financial Times on October 7 local time, he said 79-year-old US President Joe Biden was too old to run for re-election. He also said he voted for Biden in 2020 and has voted for Democrats in the past. But their relationship has deteriorated since Biden was elected. Musk says he plans to vote for the Republican Party in the next election.

In fact, Musk expressed dissatisfaction with Trump's Twitter ban as early as May, weeks after he agreed to buy Twitter. He called the ban "a mistake because it alienates a large number of Americans and fails to achieve the goal of depriving Trump of his voice" and believes it undermines people's trust in Twitter.

The "resurrection" of Trump's account is a blessing for Republican followers, but it may make Twitter advertisers more uncomfortable. These financiers have been worried that their ads will be flooded with hate speech and misinformation on Twitter. Several major advertisers, including General Motors Co and General Mills, have suspended Twitter ads.

This is also the latest upheaval since Musk took the helm of Twitter. In just a few weeks, Musk has fired half of the company's employees, executives have left in large numbers, and hundreds more have left in this week's "choose 996 or quit" ultimatum.
