Musk is trying to explain why he let Trump and others back onto the platform even though he promised that the decision would be left to a content moderation council made up of people with diverse viewpoints. He claimed that the council was part of a deal he made with a large coalition of political/ social activist groups.
Musk claims that he made a deal with those groups to keep them from trying to destroy the company's ad revenue, and so he no longer has to keep his word.
Musk ran a poll asking his followers if they wanted to see Donald Trump reinstated on the platform after he un-banned Jordan and Kathy. The next day, without mentioning the council, he announced that Trump would be let back on because of the results of the poll.
Do you agree with Musk's explanation?
Musk has pointed his finger atactivists before. One of the major ad companies advised clients to stop running campaigns on the platform after he said activist groups were trying to destroy free speech in America. Omnicom Media Group and others didn't cite pressure from political or social activists, instead they said that Twitter poses a risk for brands because of concerns around compliance, imitation, and how the layoffs will affect the company's ability to operate.
