    It’s like letting out the mutineers to help throw buckets of water out of the sinking ship. It’s still going to sink and you will drown surrounded by terrible people.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Elon Musk has restored the X account of Alex Jones, the Infowars founder who was permanently banned from the platform formerly known as Twitter more than five years ago.

    Jones, a far-right commentator best known for pushing the conspiracy theory that the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting was a hoax, returned to the website on Sunday and reposted a number of celebratory messages.

    Since Musk bought X in October 2022, he has restored a number of prominent banned accounts, including those belonging to Donald Trump, Andrew Tate, and Kanye West.

    But until December 7, Musk had refused to consider restoring Jones’ account despite his purported commitment to free speech on the platform.

    Citing Jones’ views on the Sandy Hook shooting, Musk said last year he had “no mercy for anyone who would use the deaths of children for gain, politics, or fame.”

    Twitter ultimately banned Jones in September 2018, saying his tweets and videos violated the company’s “abusive behavior policy.”

    “Look over here! I’m relevant! Come to my website! I need the viewers and money from the advertisers! I’m still here! I’m going to keep doing extreme things so people talk about me and come to my website!”

    If you have an account on that site and are actively engaging with the site, you are directly helping / supporting Musk and his racist bullshit.

    Delete that shit (like reddit btw!!) and stay the fuck away.

    Surely this will win back all of the advertisers uncomfortable with what a cesspool of bigotry and conspiracy theories Xitter has become.

    Elon is the most divorced guy who has ever existed. He’s gonna get thrown out of a little league game for yelling at the 12 year-old umpire soon.

    BREAKING NEWS:

    Alex Jones changes his name to X-Jones and rebrands his business as XxINFOWARSxX in honor of his good buddy Elon Musk who definitely isn’t one of the elite, baby blood drinking, adrenochrome injecting, psyop running, reptilian overlords who burns effigies of Moloch while hangs out with his best buds at Bohemian Grove every summer.
