    Elon Musk Grants General Amnesty To All Suspended Twitter Accounts

    The new owner of Twitter, Elon Musk has granted what he called a general amnesty to all suspended accounts on the platform.

    Musk said the amnesty will begin nest week.

    The billionaire came to the conclusion following a poll he conducted on the platform.

    The Twitter pool saw about 72.4% of those who voted telling Musk to grant general amnesty to all the suspended accounts.

    Conversely, 27.6% of the total number of voters voted against Musk reinstating the suspended accounts.

    This general amnesty is coming just days after Musk reinstated the former president of the United State of America, Donald  Trump.
