Claiming “The people have spoken,” billionaire Elon Musk has reinstated former president Donald Trump’s Twitter account after he ran an unscientific poll of his Twitter followers, which found that slightly more respondents wanted Trump’s account restored than those who didn’t. Trump’s Twitter account had been suspended over fears of violent incitement in the days after his supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol in riots that left five dead and hundreds injured.

Wow, who knew Elon Musk makes his most important executive decisions by “mob rule?” Wonder who conducted that poll for Musk, anyway - Vladimir Putin? Now, just in case you didn't already hate Twitter, with this move, Musk is now transitioning Twitter - into what can only be described as “MAGA-QAnon Twitter!” Crazy move, but hey…it’s your $44 billion, pal. I’m guessing that the MyPillow guy will be the primary advertiser from this point on.

That’s right, in essence - Elon Musk has just spent $44 billion to restore Donald Trump’s suspended Twitter account. All I can say is, Musk sure must have consumed one helluva lot of lead paint chips when he was a child. Of course, this brings to mind that old saying about how “there is a fine line between genius and insanity.” Well, if that’s truly the case, then I’m pretty damn sure that our old pal Elon Musk - just crossed it.
