Elon Musk Reinstates Alex Jones on X

Elon Musk held a poll on Saturday asking if Alex Jones should be reinstated to the X platform. The poll had 1,966,125 votes, with 70.1 percent responding “Yes.” After the poll ended, Musk responded , “The people have spoken and so it shall be” with Jones and the Infowars accounts being reinstated. Musk spoke with Jones, Vivek Ramaswamy, and others in an X Spaces chat on Sunday and discussed Big Tech censorship, Starlink, and Sandy Hook, and took questions from listeners.

Jones’ reinstatement on X comes after many advertisers pulled ads from the platform last month in response to a Media Matters report alleging that Musk endorsed an antisemitic tweet, and that X had ads placed alongside offensive content. The list of companies that have pulled advertising include Apple, Disney, IBM, and Sony. Musk responded by saying , “If someone is going to try and blackmail me with advertising, blackmail me with money, go f*ck yourself. Is that clear? Hope it is.”

Jones was on Tucker Carlson’s show last week, and thanked Carlson for helping him return to X , saying, “I want to thank Tucker Carlson for the below interview. It enabled me to escape the phantom zone and let the world know what I really stand for! Tucker broke the Matrix!!”
