Elon Musk Reinstates Alex Jones on X Following User Poll

The decision comes a year after Musk vowed not to let Jones return and coincides with the 11th anniversary of the Sandy Hook shooting.

Elon Musk, owner of the social media platform X, reinstated far-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones on the platform, a year after vowing never to let him return.
Musk's decision followed a poll he conducted on X, with about 70% of the two million users who responded supporting Jones' reinstatement.
Jones was previously banned from the platform – then known as Twitter – in 2018 for violating its 'abusive behavior policy.'
Jones, who claimed that the 2012 Sandy Hook school shooting was a hoax, was ordered by a judge last year to pay more than a billion dollars in damages to the victims' families.
Jones' reinstatement on X comes the same week as the 11th anniversary of the Sandy Hook shooting.
