Musk's second poll on suspended journalists: 58.7% voted Unsuspend NOW - UPDATE

UPDATE - Musk tweeted minutes ago to say he's lifting the suspensions. Accounts I've checked so far are back, but followers are not.


No statement from Musk yet, and the accounts are still suspended. This poll was open for 24 hours. Unsuspend NOW also won the first, quick poll, but with only 43% when two additional options were offered. So Musk did this second poll, obviously hopjng for a different result.







Update tweet:




The people have spoken.

Accounts who doxxed my location will have their suspension lifted now.

Chad Loder is still suspended.
He's been hit by multiple mass-reporting campaigns. His last suspension was immediately after he reported the massive leaks of user data from twitter.

It's going to take some time for his three remaining employees to restore all those suspended accounts
