Twitter CEO, Elon Musk on Wednesday took to the micro-blogging site and addressed the question that whether the site should offer a general amnesty to other suspended accounts.

On Tuesday, Musk also took a dig at the trolls who prophesied the end of Twitter, soon after his controversial takeover and tweeted, "Wasn't Twitter supposed to die by now...
