Elon Musk restores X account of conspiracy theorist Alex Jones
Elon Musk has restored the X account of conspiracy theorist Alex Jones
It is a major turnaround for Musk, who previously said he wouldn’t let Jones back on the platform despite repeated calls to do so. Last year, Musk pointed to the death of his first-born child and tweeted, “I have no mercy for anyone who would use the deaths of children for gain, politics or fame.”
Thankfully for him, his sycophants have the memories of goldfish.
Musk pointed to the death of his first-born child
He lied about his first-born dying in his arms, to win an internet argument:
Elon Musk’s ex-wife refutes his claim that firstborn child died in his arms ... ‘And not that it matters to anyone except me, because it is one of the most sacred and defining moments of my life, but I was the one who was holding him’

It’s easy, considering his knobgobblers are the same sort of people who make up shit to forgive Trump for everything possible. They just have to tell themselves “well Alex Jones didn’t do that, he was framed by LIBRULS”
"...I have no mercy for anyone who would use the deaths of children..."
Apparently he has mercy for such people now.
How heartwarming 🤮

I remember some people saying, "nah, you don't see it from his perspective, if your son's life was in trouble and you owned the platform, you'd do the same thing"
I kinda hate that logic because it assumes I'd say the stupid shit enough to put myself into that situation. Not to mention his family's life wasn't actually in danger.
Goldfish have long memories.
That'll bring those high-dollar advertisers back to Twitter! Good work!
Still a long way to go to be considered a "free speech absolutist".
He has failed since the start on that front.
I'll start considering his claim of being a "free speech absolutist" when he unbans the account that uses publicly available information to track his private plane.
FYI, he's still tracking Elon's jet, on Mastodon now. @elonjet
And stops suing journalists for doing journalism.
So if I could slap an ankle bracelet on you and upload your location with a five second delay, on a highly accessible public forum, you would be okay with that? Haha.
Someone on Twixer saying, "Trans people are disgusting and they shouldn't be allowed in opposite sex bathrooms" Isn't the same thing as, "Here's where Elon's private jet is currently. Lawl"
Some of you got mushed dog food for brains.
Like when he canceled a tesla order of someone who was critical of him

I don’t think anyone serious or sensible believed that Elton was out to achieve that.
Elton
Well, he is the Rocket Man
Read this as “free speech abolitionist”
Checkmate, advertisers!
He hadn’t already?
I'm now convinced he has been replaced by an AI that has been fueled on Reddit comments
Damn thing tanked
Democrats did it*
Knowing Elon and how he has changed this is not too surprising.
He hasn't changed. He just broke the one rule rich people have. "Don't talk to poor people".
