Elon Musk reinstates Alex Jones and Infowars on X / Twitter

Alex Jones is back on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.Last week, Elon Musk said he would “consider” bringing Jones back to the platform following an interview the conspiracy theorist did on Tucker Carlson’s show, which is uploaded directly to X. Over the weekend Musk put the decision to a poll, which overwhelmingly favored bringing Jones back to the social media platform more than five years after he was then-permanently suspended.”The people have spoken and so it shall be,” Musk responded when the poll closed. Moments later, Alex Jones’ account was reinstated.
