Originally Published: 24 NOV 22 15:22 ET(CNN) -- Elon Musk said Thursday that he will begin restoring most previously banned accounts on Twitter starting next week, in his most wide-reaching move yet to undo the social media platform's policy of permanently suspending users who repeatedly violated its rules. Musk has also restored the accounts of several other controversial, previously banned or suspended users, including conservative Canadian podcaster Jordan Peterson, right-leaning satire website Babylon Bee, comedian Kathy Griffin and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene. Shortly after acquiring Twitter, Musk said he would create a "content moderation council" with "widely diverse viewpoints," and that no major content decisions would be made until it was in place. Instead, after Musk restored Trump's account, he tweeted "Vox Populi, Vox Dei," Latin for "the voice of the people is the voice of god." Musk has previously said he disagreed with Twitter's policy of permanent bans.
