"The people have spoken. Amnesty begins next week," Later, Mr. Musk, who uses the platform and has 118.7 million followers, tweeted. Additionally, he said a Latin phrase that means  "the voice of the people is the voice of God".

Mr. Musk avoided describing the details of how the amnesty procedure would proceed. After conducting a poll in which people narrowly backed the action, he restored Donald Trump's account on Saturday.

The former US president, though, might not take the stage again because "I don't see any reason for it". he remarked. He has declared his intention to seek the US presidency once more in 2024. After Trump supporters stormed the US Capitol in 2021, his Twitter account was suspended on the grounds that it might incite violence.

The Twitter accounts of rapper Ye (formerly known as Kanye West) and influencer Andrew Tate have also been reinstated by Mr. Musk. The billionaire, however, declared that conspiracy theorist Alex Jones would not be permitted to return to Twitter.

Ever since Elon Musk took over the reins of Twitter, Twitter has been in the limelight for some reason or the other. At the same time, the news is coming out that the new owner of Twitter, Elon Musk, may resume the paid Blue Tick subscriber service by next week. In fact, many fake Twitter accounts in the United States US got blue ticks by paying $ 8 and then fake tweets from these accounts, Twitter on Friday ordered to stop the blue tick subscriber service for the time being. Elon Musk responded to a user on Twitter by saying that Twitter Blue will probably be "back at the end of next week", implying that the Blue Tick subscriber service may return soon.

Actually, Elon Musk is worried about the bankruptcy of twitter amidst all the changes. According to a report, in a meeting with Twitter employees, Elon Musk has said that the possibility of Twitter's bankruptcy cannot be ruled out. Elon Musk also warned earlier that Twitter would not be able to survive an upcoming economic downturn if it failed to increase subscription revenue to offset falling advertising income.

In fact, before Elon Musk's purchase of Twitter, blue ticks were available only to celebrities, journalists, politicians etc. and Twitter used to verify these accounts. According to Musk's new rule, now anyone with a phone, a credit card, and the ability to spend $ 8 every month can get a Blue Tick. Explain that after this decision of Elon Musk, taking advantage of this, many users created fake accounts in the name of other people and then tweeted in reverse.
