Elon Musk starts Twitter poll on whether to bring back Trump

13 Sept 11:43 Key points summarised by AI

Elon Musk launched a 24-hour Twitter poll, asking followers to vote on reinstating former U.S. President Donald Trump’s account, a move he had previously indicated he would make.
Early results from the poll showed approximately 60% in favor of Trump's return, with Musk tweeting the Latin phrase "Vox Populi, Vox Dei."
This poll is part of Musk's extensive and tumultuous restructuring of Twitter, which has involved massive layoffs, demanding new work conditions, and a significant exodus of employees.
Amidst the chaos, Musk also summoned software engineers for in-person technical interviews and code reviews, while the company closed offices and planned data center shutdowns to cut costs.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
