Deactivated Twitter accounts may take weeks to be restored – Elon Musk

319

Elon Musk, the new CEO of Twitter, stated on Wednesday that all banned accounts on the platform may be restored within a few weeks.

Remember that former US President Donald Trump and other celebrities currently have their accounts banned on the platform for violating the rules that guided the platform under its previous owner.

Tweeps have since been watching closely to see whether Musk will reinstate Trump, banned for inciting last year’s attack on the Capitol by a mob seeking to overturn the results of the 2020 election, and other deplatformed users.

The South African billionaire, however, said the wait will have to continue a little longer.

“Twitter will not allow anyone who was de-platformed for violating Twitter rules back on platform until we have a clear process for doing so, which will take at least a few more weeks,” he tweeted.

Musk on Tuesday had announced that as against the initial $20 for users to verify their accounts, they will now pay $8 per month for the Twitter blue tick.
