Elon Musk has done it again gang. Musk took a phony poll of X, and it appears that the Vox Populi (he really calls it that) wanted to unban conspiracy theorist and liar Alex Jones. This was after Musk had said about a year ago this was never going to happen. Oh, Jones immediately reposted a X/Tweet from Andrew Tate, a man arrested by the Romanian police for human trafficking and rape.

Why did Musk do this? Who fucking knows what goes on in that skull of his?

Elon Musk on Saturday unbanned the X account belonging to conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, ending his five-year exile from the platform over his repeated violations of its terms of service. Jones celebrated the occasion with a repost of a post by Andrew Tate, a conservative kickboxer facing human trafficking and rape charges in Romania. Tate encouraged his followers to celebrate Jones’ return to X, writing: “To show respect to Alex Jones for his triumphant return and to show respect to Elon being a hero—tell a globalist to get fucked today... Were [sic] so back.”

This really is like all those people on Twitter who started typing racial slurs over and over again when Musk finally took charge of destroying Twitter.

As for Musk, he has wrapped this latest retreat from policing X/Twitter as the will of X users.

Musk in turn issued a poll on X Saturday, asking users to weigh in on Jones’ reinstatement. Seventy percent of X accounts that participated in the poll voted to unban Jones, enough to overturn the five-year-old ban. x Reinstate Alex Jones on this platform?



Vox Populi, Vox Dei. — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) December 9, 2023

So all the nuts, conspiracy theorists, and just haters said, “Hell Yeah! Bring his Lizard People back to this platform!”

And this was after Elon Musk said this about Jones:

The decision marked a stunning about-face for Musk, who just last year balked at the idea of unbanning the now-bankrupt provocateur, citing the lies he propagated about the 2012 Sandy Hook elementary school massacre. “My firstborn child died in my arms,” Musk tweeted at the time (Musk’s first wife disputed his claim). “I felt his last heartbeat. I have no mercy for anyone who would use the deaths of children for gain, politics or fame.”

So much for Musk’s dead kid.

I won’t link to it because Musk is such a fucking liar himself, but he swears that he has the infrastructure to monitor Alex Jones. The same infrastructure that allows Nazi messages to appear next to ads from major corporations.

I wonder where all those people are that claimed Musk would NOT turn Twitter into a hellscape?

You can’t trust Musk. He’s a proven liar, and his an egomaniac who can never admit when he has fucked up. And this latest entry of Alex Jones back on the platform proves this. The only question is if the other corporations who still advertise on X/Twitter will ever wise up?
