I've been following this for a while now, and from my sample whom were ALL previously banned, over half of them have come back to life thanks to rocket daddy taking over.
So I created a graph to see if I could spot a pattern in the unbans. Looks like it's a bit sporadic. Just more and more people being unbanned over time. I'm somewhat convinced that these 82 'pet' accounts I've been watching represent the greater Twitter community, and because 43 have been unbanned, that shows that Elon has kept to his word and really has unbanned over half so far.
As previously said, I also included many 'random' and controversial much smaller accounts, and these two are seeing a decent unban rate too, just like the big accounts with lots of followers.
Btw, Nick Fuentes was unbanned yesterday, but was rebanned today. Ooops.

Towards the end, there are big jumps approximately every 5-days, then every 7-days which aligns perfectly with the weekly business cycle. This tells me he's probably unbanning people in batches determined by the ban characteristics (ban date, ban reason) and having someone manually sifting through the accounts and identifying high profile individuals to be vetted by daddy Musk himself. If Fuentes was banned for a relatively minor reason, it's incredibly likely he just slipped through the cracks and whoever is in charge just thought he was some random Mexican dude.
Anyone still banned at the end of this was very likely sanctioned by Musk himself. That pattern of a sharp uptick of unbans on a regular basis is too much of a tell tale sign of a "I want you to brief me on the high profile individuals every week before we unban them" conversation happening.
Or maybe I'm a tard and your sample size is too small to reflect reality.
