You are failing our democracy.

Your garbage poll means nothing. Did people outside the US vote? Did you reach out to marginalized communities—the targets of Trump’s rhetoric—for their input? Your followers don’t represent America.

If you run Twitter like this, God help us all.

The people have spoken.

Trump will be reinstated.

Vox Populi, Vox Dei.


Oh, and the Latin quote Musk mangled there, to sound all high-falutin and 'nuff said, reads in full:

Nec audiendi qui solent dicere, vox populi, vox dei, quum tumultuositas vulgi semper insaniae proxima sit.


Which translated reads:

Do not listen to those who say the voice of the people is the voice of God, because the tumult of the common people is always close to madness.
