"Vox Populi, Vox Dei"
By Tyler Drurden: Elon Musk has given politically divided families all the ammunition they need for an epic pie fight this Thanksgiving - announcing 'general amnesty' for suspended Twitter accounts as long as they haven't broken the law or engaged in egregious spam.
On Wednesday, Musk asked in a poll whether Twitter should offer "general amnesty to suspended accounts," to which 72.4% voted "Yes".
"The people have spoken," Musk tweeted Friday, adding "Amnesty begins next week."
"Vox Populi, Vox Dei," he said in closing - a Latin phrase meaning "The voice of the People, the voice of God."
Musk's decision is sure to piss off even more advertisers, who have been pulling ad spending (as they underperform the market). Advertisers including Audi, General Mills, GM, United Airlines and Pfizer have all paused ads, leading to what Musk described as a "massive drop" in revenue.
And... it looks like he gives exactly zero fucks. (Though what of one Alex E. Jones?)
Let the games begin!
The people have spoken.

Amnesty begins next week.
Vox Populi, Vox Dei.
