Musk says Trump's Twitter account to be reinstated after poll shows narrow support
14 Sept 04:17Key points summarised by AI
Elon Musk reinstated Donald Trump's Twitter account following a user poll that narrowly supported the move (51.8% in favor).
Despite the reinstatement, Donald Trump expressed no interest in returning to Twitter, affirming his commitment to his own platform, Truth Social.
Trump continues to actively use Truth Social as his primary communication channel, highlighting its user engagement and his preference for it.
Musk's decision, coupled with ongoing drastic changes to Twitter's workforce and content moderation, has escalated concerns among advertisers, leading many to pause their spending.
Macron condemns those who 'sought to bring down the Republic' after rioting mars nationwide protests
Today 12:56Key points summarised by AI
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.
