Musk has previously stated that he would reinstate people whose accounts were suspended for "minor and dubious reasons."
"Anyone suspended for minor & dubious reasons will be freed from Twitter jail," Must wrote at the time.
A number of accounts suspended over the last decade have still yet to be reinstated, including those of people who were banned for allegedly spreading "fake news" about COVID-19, such as MyPillow's Mike Lindell, Dr. Robert Malone, Dr. Peter McCollough, author Naomi Wolf, artist Nicki Minaj, and Canadian politician Randy Hillier.
Also notably, Alex Jones and his Infowars pages have yet to be reinstated, but Musk has already stated that he was not in favor of doing so.
