Elon Musk says he’ll restore the X account of conspiracy theorist Alex Jones after poll
Elon Musk said the account of right-wing extremist Alex Jones would be reinstated on X, formerly known as Twitter, reversing a 2018 decision by the company’s previous management to deplatform the notorious conspiracy theorist after he repeatedly broke rules prohibiting harassment and hate.
“My firstborn child died in my arms. I felt his last heartbeat,” Musk tweeted. “I have no mercy for anyone who would use the deaths of children for gain, politics or fame.”
And now he's throwing his own dead kid under the bus. But hey, it's a money bus.
He lied about his firstborn dying in his arms.

But free speech /s
How can you tell when Elon is lying?
His mouth os moving..
Imagine being so wealthy and powerful you never have to be ashamed. Elmo will never have to be confronted with criticism except on his own terms. Their are legions who will stroke his ego and eloquently explain why he's always in the right.
Never being confronted with your mistakes is worse than making you arrogant... it rots your fucking brain. You become lazy and uncritical of yourself. You become stupid. Being a "great man" is a degenerative neurological disorder.
Gee, next thing he'll probably accuse someone of trying to blackmail him by paying him.
I'm starting to think these right-wingers just aren't trustworthy!
Do you think he describes himself as a dad or does he require being called a founder?
The best part about rich people is they suffocate just like the rest of us if you put plastic bags over their heads. Same with falling from great heights. You'd think they bounce and be fine but nope, they pop right open
And he was lying about that too.
'course he will. Shit stains of a color... stain the same underwear together....
eh. not as briliant as "birds of a feather"... but it works.
Poop Stains 2024
"PAY ATTENTION TO ME!"
Who TF is using Twitter anymore to even care? Let that trash fire burn itself out.
Way too many people.
It's like 50% bots. No cap.
That will bring back the large corporate advertisers.
I am so, so tired of this man.
Gary Vee once said that he doesn't traffic in money or selling products, he traffics in attention. Thats really stuck with me. Gary Vee is a grifter and a snake oil salesman, but he's 100% right about the modern landscape of capitalism. The money is almost gone. It's almost entirely hoarded by the billionaire dragons. Now the ruling class just pulls stunts like this to anger us and distract us from realizing that our lives would be so much better if these people no longer existed.

Desperate for that blue check money
This is not news.
It’s more just reporting his plan is still going as planned. This is all part of the signal boosting certain voices in the lead up to the election. Why would anyone want to let this person have the microphone with his appalling track record? For free speech? Why is this point in time so important to let him get his messages out and not 10 months ago or in 10 months for that matter? It’s also a few months away from some more crypto stupidness so he can grift and dump his crap on the public again like last time. He’s just repeating what worked for him so can’t blame him for not being very creative
Yes it is. What happens on Twitter is literally real life.
On Saturday morning, Musk posted an unscientific poll to his account asking users of the platform if Jones should be reinstated. By Saturday evening when the poll closed, about 70% of nearly 2 million respondents had voted “yes.”
Lol
When Elton responded initially it had 450,000 votes at 92-8 or something… then it had 1.2 million this morning, and was running 72-28. Then supposedly another 400,000 people voted, and it was 70-30. Then ANOTHER 400,000 votes were recorded and the ratio didn’t budge at all, and it closed at 70-30. Seems suspicious to me. Of course Elron would just have it say whatever he wanted, there’s no doubt.
People I know who left Twitter are weirdly coming back, they feel bad about it but... We need to help these people
I just don't get it. If Twitter was ever good, I still don't think I could go back if I had to.
But it was NEVER FUCKING GOOD.
Some of the worst UI ever, the snarkiest, most narcissistic dweebs, lurking in every thread. Fuck Twitter. Fuck Twitter on every single day since it's existed. I tried it. Zero good moments there. It's fucking cancer that should be nuked from orbit.
Part of it is FOMO, but unfortunately, a lot of news is still broken on Twitter and it is still sometimes useful (I don't use it myself, but others do) as a real-time source of news as it unfolds. There are also a lot of governments that use Twitter to post announcements.
Like I said, I don't use it myself, but I think all of those things contribute.
That's the "gay frogs" guy right?
Yes, but more importantly it's the "Sandy Hook didn't happen" guy
Ah, so him being a piece of shit who was the only one not to be allowed back was a lie. Surprising.
After my impromptu poll of exactly one, I determined that I will not be returning to the shithead's shithole social network.
So, what? Musk ran his Xitter botnet to "vote" for Jones' return, both because Musk himself is a conspiracy theorist and because he wants Jones' traffic? Idiocy and greed will be the death of humanity ...
He wants Jones’s influence on the election
Sinking ship continues to poke holes in the hull. Only the weak, infirm rats remain. Other ships watch with morbid curiosity.
A dollar bill weighs about a gram. So 44 billion dollars is 44 million kg of paper. This would release about 16 MJ/kg upon combustion, so a total of 700 TJ of energy. This is about the same as an 150 kiloton nuclear bomb.
So Elon Musk is destroying Xitter with the equivalent energy of a strategic nuclear warhead. This is some real creative destruction.
Runs company based on polls? Great business mind here folks.
He's a special kind of stupid
