"Reinstate former President Trump" - Elon Musk starts poll to unban Donald Trump from Twitter after unbanning Andrew Tate

Donald Trump was banned from Twitter following his encouragement of a mob invasion of the US Capitol in 2021. Since then, Trump has not been granted access to his private account or his official US presidential account.
