Got signed up after Elon ran a poll, "Should DT be reinstated?"
Over 60% replied Yes.
I'm convinced.

Elon has already reactivated his account. The trolls are ecstatic.

Now he faces a decision....
Does he cannibalize his own failing social platform & go play on Qelon's site?

I felt depressed when I saw the poll running. But my husband, who is a tech pro, said the bots were out in force to swing that vote to Trump. And I believe him. He knows how to look. So it's heavily influenced by machines. Same with Katie Hopkins!

Twitter leans heavily Progressive, so DT fairly winning that "poll", is out of the question.
Bottom line, DT won't take advantage, so no big deal.
