Why should it be a polled decision, Elon?

Free speech isn't decided upon by the mob. It's an unalienable right endowed by our Creator, remember?

Twitter has always had its problems. Even if Musk has made some improvements, he likes to play childish games as well.

Far be it for me to second-guess the billionaire, but I really hate his management style at twitter. I wouldn't be so personally involved in everything. This is another example - either AJ violated rules or he didn't. (he didn't) If you want to make an executive decision to unban him then do so. Why make a big deal out of it? If any of us get banned he's not going to hold a vote to unban us. So much for Elon hating the 'lords and peasants' system...

But his methods make our enemies seethe so I can't complain too much. I get that he's doing the Pontius Pilate thing so when people complain he can say "I didn't want to, but the people voted for it."

Why make a big deal out of it?

Musk's greatest priority is to keep his personal brand fresh in people's mind. That's why.

I get the feeling either it's his autism or he's been becoming more Trump-ish. Either he's an unfocused mess just flitting about and changing his mind, or he knows many people hate him, so why not go for a trolling while keeping his hands clean.

1.3 m votes, 70% yes.

I'm assuming the decision has already been made, he's just doing this to drive interest.

Online polls are retarded and easily gamed.

I hope EVERYONE not an NPC votes yes, I can see people who watch Tucker, Joe Rogan, Crowder, Sargon all voting yes on this.

Just for the memes alone it'll be glorious having him on a mainstream social network so the normies get to hear him more.

The sad thing is that you don't, and probably will never know, how utterly ignorant of the case this statement clearly shows you to be -- yet you'll keep your smug, pious pretentious attitude forever.

Elon: "so you fuckers think you can bully me, blackmail me with money and denigrate me? Let's see if the public are ALL on your side...(has hand over button that says in case of bullshit, release the Jones)"

To be truthful, I think Elon just knew he was too radioactive to bring back at the time, but now all the bs cases are done with him and they're gunning for him but are spread too thin, doing it this way might send the signal they have no control of the narrative anymore.
