Musk considering reinstating Alex Jones on X

Billionaire tech entrepreneur Elon Musk is considering reinstating right-wing personality Alex Jones on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.

“Reinstate Alex Jones on this platform? Vox Populi, Vox Dei,” Musk, who owns X, said in a post on the platform Saturday.

Musk’s post includes a poll on the question.

The entrepreneur’s question and poll post appears to be a reversal of his previous words on the reinstatement of Jones to the platform. Last year, Musk responded mockingly to a user of the platform who asked if the controversial figure would be able to return to it.

“Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven,” Musk wrote in an initial tweet.

When he was questioned further on the topic by another user, Musk gave a poignant response.

“My firstborn child died in my arms. I felt his last heartbeat,” Musk said. “I have no mercy for anyone who would use the deaths of children for gain, politics or fame.”

Considering????

There shouldn’t be any ‘considering’ ... or, vote, about it.

I’ve appealed my unjust suspension twice after Musk promised a parole but was denied. I think that if you are an unchecked account, it’s just an automated response.

I was banned for liking Trump, but I sent a request for them to reevaluate it after Musk bought it and I got back on

You are probably right about the automation. Because when I sent the request, it was less than 30 seconds. I was back on.

Alex Jones?

When it comes to comedy I prefer those like Jerry Lewis for example - he was a true entertainer:

Jones is a lunatic and deep state operative, but everyone should be allowed free speech.

That didn't last long.

I was booted for my pro-Trump posts in early 2017. Re-instated about 5 months ago. Over 6 years later.

Thank the Babylon Bee. I think it was their interview with Musk and explaining their getting booted that set the wheels in motion for Musk buying twitter/X.

"Name one thing Alex Jones has been wrong about, I’ll wait"

Are we allowed to talk about how Alex Jones was on the front lines claiming that 9/11 was an inside job and only he knew the absolute truth?

I voted yes. Jones may be a Moron. But he deserves a platform to speak on. If he gets out of hand later, Musk can ban him again.

Musk says he cannot break the law. He never did.
