Elon Musk Restores X Account Of Conspiracy Theorist Alex Jones

Published

Elon Musk has restored conspiracy theorist Alex Jones’s X account, citing a poll on the social media network formerly known as Twitter that favored the Infowars host, who has frequently dubbed the 2012 Sandy Hook school shooting a fabrication.

It adds to the uncertainty for advertisers who have departed X due to concerns about hate speech showing alongside their ads, and it is the latest polarizing public figure to regain access to their banned account.

On Saturday, Musk released a poll asking if Jones should be restored, with 70% of those who voted in support. Musk tweeted early Sunday, “The people have spoken, and so it shall be.”

Jones’ messages were available again a few hours later, and he retweeted a post praising his video game. In 2018, he and his Infowars broadcast were permanently banned for abusive behavior.

Musk, who has defined himself as a free speech absolutist, stated that the decision was made to safeguard those rights. Musk remarked in response to a user who stated that “permanent account bans are antithetical to free speech,” “I find it difficult to disagree with this point.”

The wealthy Tesla CEO also stated that Community Notes, X’s crowd-sourced fact-checking tool, “will respond rapidly to any AJ post that needs correction.”

It’s a significant change for Musk, who said he would not allow Jones back on the platform despite repeated requests. Musk said last year, referring to the death of his first kid, “I have no mercy for anyone who would use the deaths of children for gain, politics, or fame.”

Jones has often stated on his show that the 2012 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, which murdered 20 children and six educators, did not occur and was staged to tighten gun restrictions.

Many of the victims’ relatives sued Jones in Connecticut and Texas, earning over $1.5 billion in damages. A judge determined in October that Jones could not use bankruptcy to avoid paying more than $1.1 billion of that obligation.

During the trials, relatives of the school shooting victims claimed that Jones’ supporters had harassed and threatened them. They had sent threats and even spoken to the bereaved families in person, accusing them of being “crisis actors” whose children didn’t exist.

Jones is appealing the verdicts, claiming that he did not get a fair trial and that the First Amendment protected his speech.

Restoring Jones’ account comes as Musk has seen a spate of prominent firms, including Disney and IBM, pull their ads from X following a report by the leftist advocacy group Media Matters alleging that ads were showing alongside pro-Nazi content and white nationalist messages.

They were especially frightened after Musk endorsed an antisemitic conspiracy theory in response to a post on X. Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, eventually expressed regret and traveled to Israel, where he visited a kibbutz under attack by Hamas militants and spoke with prominent Israeli officials.

However, he has also stated that advertisers are participating in “blackmail” and, using obscenity, effectively advised them to leave.

“Don’t advertise,” Musk said in an on-stage interview at The New York Times DealBook Summit late last month.

Musk announced last year that he would grant “amnesty” to suspended accounts and has since reinstated former President Donald Trump; Ye, the rapper formerly known as Kanye West, following two suspensions for antisemitic posts last year; and far-right Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who was kicked off the platform for violating its COVID-19 misinformation policies.

Trump, who was banned for supporting the Capitol insurgency on January 6, 2021, has his social media site, Truth Social, and has only tweeted once since regaining access to X.

The event will be held in Foxborough, Massachusetts. Lionel Messi netted two goals, captivating a record-breaking crowd of New England Revolution supporters, and propelled Inter Miami CF to a resounding 4-1 triumph on Saturday evening.

Indeed, he also achieved a minor historical milestone. Miami said on social network X that he holds the distinction of becoming the inaugural player in MLS history to contribute 16 goals in the first seven games of a season.

He has been doing it consistently throughout his entire life. “We anticipate this behavior from him,” stated teammate Benjamin Cremaschi, who successfully scored the third goal following Messi’s blocked shot. He effortlessly demonstrates proficiency.” We are pleased to have him on our team. Whenever he is presented with a chance, he seizes it.

The attendance surpassed the previous record of 61,316, set when the LA Galaxy defeated the Revolution in the 2002 MLS championship.

During the first half, he positioned himself a short distance inside the penalty area and successfully scored with a left-footed kick, resulting in a 1-1 tie in the 32nd minute.

“In the first half, following our goal, I believed that we had effectively contained them,” stated Caleb Porter, the coach of New England. “They were not receiving ample opportunities, nor were they being granted sufficient time and freedom to execute their actions.” Messi then demonstrated his typical skill and ability by identifying a weakness or vulnerability.

Amidst a match between the top-ranked Miami team in the Eastern Conference and the bottom-ranked Revolution team, the 36-year-old who won the 2022 World Cup scored a goal, resounding cheers reverberating throughout the bleachers.

Cremaschi and Luis Suarez scored goals toward the end of the match for Miami. Messi was attributed with an assist on Suarez’s goal.

In the opening minute, the Revolution took a 1-0 lead as Tomas Chancalay skillfully evaded a defender and executed a shot over the charging netminder, Drake Callender.

Despite the presence of the Celtics and Bruins, both local winter professional teams are now competing in the playoffs. Much of the focus in the sports world this week was around Messi’s arrival.

Hundreds of fans, primarily children, donning the pink Miami Messi shirt, entered the stadium approximately 90 minutes before the match.

Once the stadium was filled, they were readily seen amidst the crowd.

Among the items, a few of the Messi No. 10 Argentina shirts, which featured white and blue stripes, were intermingled among the items.

“I am filled with great enthusiasm,” expressed Stacy Mills, a 31-year-old itinerant healthcare professional from East Tennessee, who was donning one of the Argentina jerseys featuring Messi.” “I have been a follower of his career since playing with Barcelona.”

Her buddy, Caleadia Jessup, 53, a travel nurse from Fayetteville, North Carolina, was equally proud to display her Messi Argentina jersey.

“I trailed him during his participation in the World Cup representing his home nation,” she remarked, beaming.

Many children had the opportunity to witness a renowned soccer player at the previous residence of Tom Brady, who is widely regarded as the greatest of all time in the NFL. Brady achieved the impressive feat of winning six Super Bowls with the New England Patriots.

“I have been engaged in playing since my early years.” “The Miami star is my favorite player,” stated Cameron Howell, a 14-year-old from Halifax, Massachusetts.

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs Files Motion To Dismiss Some Claims In A Sexual Assault Lawsuit

Los Angeles  – In response to a complaint from a woman accusing Sean “Diddy” Combs of sexual assault, his attorneys have responded. They have submitted a petition to dismiss some claims that were not legally applicable at the time of the claimed incident.

The application submitted in a New York court asserts that Diddy is immune from being sued due to the absence of specific legislation when Joi Dickerson-Deal brought the accusations against him in 1991.

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs Files Motion To Dismiss Some Claims In A Sexual Assault Lawsuit

The attorneys representing the music entrepreneur are seeking the dismissal of specific allegations made by Dickerson-Deal, including revenge porn and human trafficking, with prejudice.

In a previous legal submission, she alleged that Diddy deliberately administered drugs to her, subsequently took her to her residence, and engaged in sexual assault during a date in Harlem during her time as a 19-year-old university student.

The lawsuit claims that Combs surreptitiously recorded the attack and subsequently distributed it to multiple acquaintances inside the music industry, all without the victim’s awareness. He refuted the accusations, asserting that she was attempting to take advantage of the New York law that temporarily prolonged the period in which legal action could be taken.

Dickerson-Deal’s assertion was made almost thirty years after the supposed wrongdoing, and the New York State Revenge Porn Law was not officially established until 2019, according to Combs’ legal team.

In addition, his legal representatives highlighted several additional laws, such as the New York Services for Victims of Human Trafficking Law, enacted in 2007.

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs Files Motion To Dismiss Some Claims In A Sexual Assault Lawsuit

The standard practice of the Associated Press is to refrain from disclosing the identities of those who claim to have experienced sexual abuse unless they choose to make their allegations public, as Dickerson has done.

Recently, federal police conducted raids on Combs’ houses in Los Angeles and Miami as part of a sex trafficking investigation. The criminal probe represents a significant increase in the examination of Combs, who has faced multiple recent lawsuits regarding sexual assault.

Combs resolved a case the day after it was filed in November, in which his former protege and girlfriend, the R&B singer Cassie, accused him of sexual abuse, including rape, over several years. The lawsuit alleges that he coerced her into engaging in sexual acts with male escorts as he recorded the encounters.

In February, a music producer initiated legal proceedings claiming that Combs exerted undue influence on him to engage in the act of soliciting prostitutes and coerced him into engaging in sexual activities with them.
