Elon Musk reinstated former President Donald Trump's account on Twitter Saturday, reversing a ban that had kept Trump off the social media site for more than 22 months.
Musk made the announcement in the evening after holding a poll that asked Twitter users to click “yes” or “no” on whether Trump’s account should be restored. Musk’s online survey, posted on his own Twitter account, drew more than 15 million votes in the 24 hours in which it ran. The “yes” vote won, with 51.8%.
“The people have spoken. Trump will be reinstated. Vox Populi, Vox Dei,” Musk tweeted, using a Latin phrase meaning “the voice of the people, the voice of God.”
Trump's Twitter account, which had over 88 million followers before he was banned on Jan. 8, 2021, began accumulating followers and had nearly 100,000 followers by 10pm ET Saturday. Some users initially reported being unable to follow the reinstated account on Saturday evening.
根據(jù)劍橋詞典的解釋,reinstate意義為:使重返崗位,使恢復(fù)原職;把……放回原處;使恢復(fù)原狀(to give someone back their previous job or position, or to cause something to exist again)
而美聯(lián)社和CNN都使用了restore,表達(dá)相似的含義:修復(fù);使復(fù)位;使復(fù)職(to return something or someone to an earlier good condition or position)。
Trump had appeared less than keen earlier in the day."I don't see any reason for it," the former president said via video when asked whether he planned to return to Twitter.
He said he would stick with his new platform Truth Social. Truth Social has been Trump’s main source of direct communication with his followers since he began posting on the app regularly in May. He has used Truth Social to promote his allies, criticize opponents and defend his reputation.
