Elon Musk Declares 'General Amnesty' To Suspended Twitter Accounts After Poll: 'People Have Spoken'

Twitter CEO Elon Musk said that a "general amnesty" for suspended accounts is to begin next week.

What Happened: Musk made the announcement after carrying out a poll on his Twitter account.

The poll attracted 3.16 million votes with 72.4% in favor of a general amnesty and 27.6% against it. 

The amnesty is for those suspended accounts which have "not broken the law or engaged in egregious spam," according to Musk.

The billionaire owner of Twitter said, "The people have spoken. Amnesty begins next week. Vox Populi, Vox Dei."
