Elon Musk, the owner of Twitter, is announcing a major decision involving former President Donald Trump and the social media platform.
In a tweet Saturday night, Musk wrote, “The people have spoken. Trump will be reinstated.”
“Vox Populi, Vox Dei,” he added.
According to Merriam-Webster, the phrase comes from Latin meaning, “The voice of the people (is) the voice of God.”
The announcement comes after Musk posted a poll asking whether Trump should be reinstated on the platform.
By the time the poll had closed, there were more than 15,000,000 million votes.
Nearly 52% said the former president should be allowed back on the platform, while 48.2% said
Trump’s Twitter account was suspended after the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol.
But after Musk launched his effort to take over Twitter, he signaled he would reverse the suspension.
Still, Trump has signaled that he may not return to Twitter.
