ANKARA (AA) - Twitter owner Elon Musk said late Saturday he would reinstate former US President Donald Trump's account on the platform.

His decision comes after a majority of users voted yes to his survey question that asked whether Trump should be allowed back on Twitter.

"The people have spoken. Trump will be reinstated," Musk tweeted. "Voice of the people, voice of God."

"Reinstate former President Trump," was a poll launched Friday by Musk which garnered more than 15 million votes.

While 51.8% of users voted "yes," 48,2% said "no."

Trump had about 88.8 million followers when Twitter permanently suspended his account in January 2021, citing his role in the Jan. 6 riot at the US Capitol and the potential for more violence.
