Elon Musk restores X account of conspiracy theorist Alex Jones after user poll
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 дек 2023
- Elon Musk has restored the X account of conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, pointing to a poll on the social media platform formerly known as Twitter that came out in favor of the Infowars host who repeatedly called the 2012 Sandy Hook school shooting a hoax.
It poses new uncertainty for advertisers, who have fled X over concerns about hate speech appearing alongside their ads, and is the latest divisive public personality to get back their banned account.
Musk posted a poll on Saturday asking if Jones should be reinstated, with the results showing 70% of those who responded in favor. Early Sunday, Musk tweeted, “The people have spoken and so it shall be.”
A few hours later, Jones’ posts were visible again and he retweeted a post about his video game. He and his Infowars show had been permanently banned in 2018 for abusive behavior.
Musk, who has described himself as a free speech absolutist, said the move was about protecting those rights. In response to a user who posted that “permanent account bans are antithetical to free speech,” Musk wrote, “I find it hard to disagree with this point.”

It’s called freedom of speech and this absolutely should have been done a long time ago
America's 1st Ammendment has no power on the internet, Einstein.
You must really be uneducated if you think the first amendment has anything to do with a private company that you agree to their terms when joining

@@DarthestWiffiest Ok fascist.
@@RUclips_Enjoyerlol so you don’t know that freedom of speech is only between the government and the people and not a private company that you agree to their terms when joining?
Elon has censored more people then the previous owners but being it’s a private company that’s his right as it was the previous owners Elons just a liar as he lied saying his purchase had anything to do with free speech
If we've learned anything over the past few years, it's that "conspiracy theorist" means 1000% correct years ahead of msm acceptance.
New York Post is not happy hahaha
I love how the MSM still thinks that calling people names like Right Wing Conspiracy theorist will hurt him. He will quickly gain more followers than many MSM outlets.
He literally called the Sandy Hook shooting fake and was sentenced to pay millions for compensatory damages. And you still want to talk about the MSM like its a boogeyman? Alex is a POS. This isn't even a leftist or rightwing debate.
It is a badge of honor at this point.
His broadcast on X with Elon has a bigger audience than all of the fake news outlets combined.
Exactly
They're not calling him that to hurt him. They're calling him that because that's what he is.
The fact they tried suing him for BILLIONS for saying they are paid actors literally should make you question if they are indeed actors because if not, why take such offense from a stranger? What does him giving money change from this opinion? They are desperate
@robertcocco4930yes we did
@robertcocco4930 July 2001 Alex was telling people to call the white house and stop the 747s from hitting the towers and blaming Osama.. The videos are available online lol
Call him want you want but alex jones was talking about epsteins island 5 years before anyone else.
Thats part of why they banned him.
No he's not. If you lived in the northeast, you knew about that pervert in the 80's . And you knew that he bang3d around with Trump too. They were both considered, piriahs in new York social scene. 😢
He's a bad person who loves evil things
and what he said about the frogs. is happening more with humans. i used to watch to see him rant. and i mean 15 years ago. then i started to think most of this stuff is legit. then. all these years later. half the stuff he said was going on. we found out was. most of the nutty stuff he said has come true.
That sham trial was fixed. He should appeal it
I am firmly a right-wing conspiracy theorist. Yet I never ever want anyone that I disagree with de-platformed.
Well probably, because conservatives aren't revolutionaries..Leftists are activists struggling for the cause - first and foremost.

Alex Jones deserves X service restoration and the positive attention he's receiving.
Oh he deservedly is going to receive more negative attention because he is a despicable human being but that doesn't mean he should be silenced
@@itsme-qk2vbHe's honestly less despicable than the average television news host, but I admire your principles.
Alex jones is right about everything... You're a fool@@itsme-qk2vb
The big problem with Alex Jones is not the dozens of times he was wrong. It's the handful of times he was right.
More than a handful, but I take your meaning, and concur.
Being wrong is forgiven. Being right is just pure evil.
Alex Jones might be wrong about a lot of things, but he was the only person to have filmed and released the rituals at Bohemian Grove.

Alex Jones has the same right to express his opinion as any other American. It shouldn't have taken this long to restore his Twitter account.
Elon's my boy but Twitter isn't much better under him except for those with millions of followers tweeting original content, the throttling has been lifted for them and also the embarrassing Dem collusion aspect has been rectified. Followers though still have half their replies buried under show replies that may be offensive 🙄
Wasn't aware Twitter was run by the government. If Musk wants to let Alex Jones back on, he can since he owns X. But this has nothing to do with the 1st Amendment.
You do not have a right to use a private company's servers to communicate and call it free speech. It's not. The 1st amendment prohibits government from censoring you. If you're on private property, real or virtual, you MUST comply with the rules or you get removed. Nothing against the 1st amendment in that. You just misunderstand what the 1st amendment actually says and what it actually protects. Either that, or you have a reading comprehension problem that's beyond anything we can help you with.
but hes not expressing his opinion, in addition, being on twitter or not doesnt change that
Your right of free speech doesn’t really extend to social media platforms
FREE ALEX JONES 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

@AlexaDigital Media, I've only found two sane comments in 200 in this thread full of Alex Jones fans. Your command another one. This is the world we live in. Elon will come out a year later after Twitter dies, and he made mistakes. A total baffoon he is.
Most of Alex's "conspiracy theories" have come true.
So, let me get this right... The New York Post labels Alex Jones a "conspiracy theorist", love him or hate - simply because he vets things everybody else sees but because he isn't a mainstream propaganda mill, he's a "theorist"?
Elon is 💯 percent right the people have power on X.
Wrong. Elon has banned plenty of people. The only freedom of speech Elon believes in is freedom of his own speech. He wants Jones back on to bring audience to X which he's clobbered with his adolescent man-child decisions and antics. Puer Aeternus, indeed.
other than when he ignored the vote that told him to leave

Even if you're an Alex Jones fan, and you believe every single thing he says, you're listening to him express his conspiracy theories.
@@rorycannon7295but he's released things that came to be true 20 years before people knew about it. You could say it was lucky cause he makes so many claims but how many times could you get lucky before it's actually fact?
