  • Has Donald Trump tweeted yet? An Instagram post falsely claimed that he had. For the past 22 months, the former president’s Twitter account has sat dormant. The social media company permanently suspended him on Jan. 8, 2021, after determining that his tweets denying the results of the 2020 presidential election were likely to inspire others to replicate the violent acts that took place on January 6, 2021, the company wrote in a Jan. 8, 2021, news release explaining its decision. But now the path has been paved for his return. Trump’s Twitter account was reinstated after the company’s CEO, Elon Musk, posted a poll on Nov. 18 and said its results would determine Trump’s fate on the platform. Musk acquired Twitter for $44 billion in October. But in May, months before the deal, Musk said he thought the ban was a mistake and would reverse it. More than 15 million people voted in Musk’s poll. Nearly 52% voted in favor of bringing Trump back, and about 48% voted no. Musk reinstated Trump’s account Nov. 19. A Nov. 19 Instagram post claimed that Trump tweeted the same day. The post shared a screenshot of the alleged tweet, which read, It is true that I am back. Sending warm greetings to all the haters and losers who voted against me in @elonmusk's poll. We love democracy! For my first tweet, I am looking for recs on lawyers who rep people in cases of 'light' treason. Asking for a friend... The tweet was time-stamped 8:27 p.m. Nov. 19.
