Elon Musk – Makes Twitter Hum With Changes

When the news arrived that Twitter was finally sold, a lot of people erupted with fury. Actually, there were a lot of people who left the platform. Or, they threatened to leave. However, plenty of people returned to check out the changes to the platform. Amber Heard left in disgust. And, Whoopie Goldberg also said she was going. Of course, detractors told them not to announce their departure, and just go.

Elon Musk was often asked if he would allow Donald Trump to return to the platform. However, he held off making an immediate decision. After all, it was bound to create a massive amount of bad publicity. Already, he seems to have annoyed Joe Biden. Of course, DJT is bound to see an eruption of trolls and critics. Mind you, the former president never really hankered to get his account back, and rather focused on his Truth Social platform.

After the poll, the new owner of Twitter tweeted, “The people have spoken. Trump will be reinstated.” He also added, “Vox Populi, Vox D”‘ If you don’t know, it means that “the voice of the people is the voice of God.” For a lot of people who commented, it’s only right that Donald should be allowed back on the platform. After all, many presidential candidates are already there. Furthermore, some, rather undesirable accounts are allowed to exist.

On Musk’s post, Wall Street Silver wrote, “This is brilliant engagement marketing by Elon. The media will be writing tons of articles about this, leading even more people to go to Twitter to see what is going on. The outrage machine is being used by Elon very effectively.”

I've never seen an account grow so fast! 300k in like 3 minutes. Amazing. Everyone that wants to come back to follow IS. I bet it sets a Twitter growth/time record that will never be broken… ever.
