The first step toward Musk's promise of lighter moderation on the platform was taken when he began reinstating accounts that were previously subject to lifetime bans. The first accounts to be affected are author JordanPeterson, comedian Kathygriffin, and The Babylon Bee.
Two of the accounts were banned because they misgendered people. He said he would rather die than lose his job after he was banned from the internet. A trans woman is currently serving as the US assistant secretary of health.
One of the outlets mentioned in Musk's text messages was The Babylon Bee.
The third account was banned 11 days ago because of Musk's push against impersonation. The fake Musk was part of a post about the election. If she paid the $8 fee, she would be allowed back on the platform.
Donald Trump, who recently launched his campaign to regain the presidency, is not certain if there will be more reinstatements soon. The decision regarding Trump's ban hasn't been made, according to Musk.
Musk claimed that no major moderation decisions, including reinstatements, would be made until he assembled a content moderation council. The council wasn't mentioned in the announcement.
Hundreds of employees resigned from the platform in the wake of an ultimatum issued by Musk. Ahead of Thursday's deadline, the platform's overall workforce has shrunk from 7,500 to less than 3000 due to layoffs and attrition.
Chaos has arisen due to the departures. After closing the offices on Thursday, Musk sent an email to the company's software engineers asking them to report to the 10th floor.
