Twitter, Inc. today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by an entity wholly owned by Elon Musk, for $54.20 per share in cash in a transaction valued at approximately $44 billion. Upon completion of the transaction, Twitter will become a privately held company.
Under the terms of the agreement, Twitter stockholders will receive $54.20 in cash for each share of Twitter common stock that they own upon closing of the proposed transaction. The purchase price represents a 38% premium to Twitter’s closing stock price on April 1, 2022, which was the last trading day before Mr. Musk disclosed his approximately 9% stake in Twitter.
Bret Taylor, Twitter’s Independent Board Chair, said, “The Twitter Board conducted a thoughtful and comprehensive process to assess Elon’s proposal with a deliberate focus on value, certainty, and financing. The proposed transaction will deliver a substantial cash premium, and we believe it is the best path forward for Twitter’s stockholders.”
Parag Agrawal, Twitter’s CEO, said, “Twitter has a purpose and relevance that impacts the entire world. Deeply proud of our teams and inspired by the work that has never been more important.”
“Free speech is the bedrock of a functioning democracy, and Twitter is the digital town square where matters vital to the future of humanity are debated,” said Mr. Musk. “I also want to make Twitter better than ever by enhancing the product with new features, making the algorithms open source to increase trust, defeating the spam bots, and authenticating all humans. Twitter has tremendous potential – I look forward to working with the company and the community of users to unlock it.”
Given the new management, here’s a short list off all the accounts the new regime should restore/unban:
That’s off the top of my head, with a few suggestions from people on Twitter. If you can think of additional people who need to be unblocked and/or have their Twitter accounts restored, note them in the comments below.

Well since you asked: WokeCapital
.
My TANSTAAFL account, about 5 of them, banned for hurting leftist’s feewings.
@voxday or it’s all bullshit.
Well how about me? I have been banned more than 20 times since first joining summer 2020.
If even half of those accounts return and become active, I might be tempted to go back — just to watch.

What was the original account?

Lisa Mei Crowley
Meghan Murphy

James Woods should be able to post more freely. He had to take his account private to avoid getting booted/banned.
Alex Berenson
Ricky Vaughn.

Also, Laurel Hubbard is a man.

The first thing which should be done is to completely back up all data to a secure remote location.
Then investigate to determine collusion. With unfriendly politicians in saaay…Russia and China.
Definitely not America.
@proteinwisdom
MUST BE RESTORED.
Elon should have a policy that he has to approve the banning of any account.
Jim Hoft – The Gateway Pundit is a must add to the list.

Me. I already asked because they unsuspended Tucker Carlson and The Babylone Bee. Waiting to hear back.
Well, I did call Obama a pussy for not enforcing his threatened “red line” in Syria back in 14 or 15, so I probably deserve to stay banned. I mean……..I criticized Obama………what did I expect to happen?
I would appreciate being turned loose.
Sure appreciate your asking!
Free @treehuggingsis !!
Help me, Obi Elon-kenobi! You’re my only hope!
Ah yes, MJMJ is right

Don’t forget the Official President of Russia and Dmitry Medvedev accounts with Blue Checkmarks.
Oh, wait they are still there.

Ditto on the backup of all data – especially as pertains the Russia Collusion hoax.
If Twitter ends up in litigation, and dies a death by a billion cuts, ya know … Elon could write off his $46B as charity work.
Just like the dude that killed Gawker.
Accounts should be restored with their full tweet (including retweets, replies, etc) history – apart from tweets deleted voluntarily (i.e., not in response to a Twitter demand) by the account owner.
… also any and all data related to rigging, er, “fortifying” the 2020 election.
Life Site News
the correct answer is ALL
ALL banned accounts should be restored or it’s all BS
@vonscrappy or any of the several following attempts.
John Ekdahl
Sheniqua O’Toole should be restored to Twitter. Pure gold.
