Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones won't be returning to Twitter and will remain banned from the platform, according to Elon Musk.

Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones won’t be returning to Twitter and will remain banned from the platform, according to its new owner, Elon Musk. Musk declared on Friday that Jones’ account will not be restored, in spite of some users’ requests, and spent the weekend defending the decision even as Twitter moved to restore other suspended accounts including that of former President Donald Trump. “No,” Musk tweeted flatly in response to one user’s call for Jones to be reinstated on Twitter.

” In a response video posted Friday to the alternative video site Rumble, Jones said he didn’t care if he was allowed back on Twitter, and listed various other digital platforms where his content remains accessible. “Don’t blame Musk at the end of the day because he didn’t bring me back,” Jones urged his followers. “I’m the most controversial figure in the world because I’m the most threatening to the new world order. So don’t expect him to bring me back on day one.

Great

But Tramp is back

Put Alex Jones is jail until He pays his debt 🤯💰💰💰💰

This guy made false claims as have Obama, Clinton, Biden, Schiff, Waters, and the rest of the Democrat Party, what's good for one should be for all.

He's a pathetic fearmonger. Good ridden.

elonmusk How about another 'scientific' sham poll for this one?

He'll have to controlled oppose elsewhere?

Oh but he lets that racist misogynist bully Donald Trump back on Twitter Trump just as bad

Then maybe you should be banned too because if there’s anybody that capitalizes off the death of children and tragedy, it’s you in the media specifically when it comes to political matters and mass shootings. You make people sick

If him, why not the prince of darkness Donald Dump himself?

Now if only Conspiracy News Networks could be banned too? Like as soon as they post a fake news article, 'accidentally' ban them for 24 hours. Every time they tell a half truth 24 hour time out. A new rule for all news outlets ElonGoat elonBanCNN ItWasAnAccident Timcast

But they let lying trump back

Do you have evidence of these “likes” that Greene is supporting harm to Pelosi? This guy is inventing self driving cars, rockets, and helping pave a more energy efficient world and you are crying about him banning someone from Twitter?!? 😂

You still didnt shut down the infowar. Nice try though.

Why?

Why not, at least he showed true emotion with his hate speech.

He'll be back the closet we get to election time. elonmusk holds no one accountable. If Alex helps Trump he's back on..

OMG...............

Freedom of speech ?

Wasn't Alex right about a 'One World Order', at G22 in Indonesia,Macron -France, recommended nations choose China in a 'One Order World' gov't. Would twitter ban Macron?

WHAT ?!!!!!! But he allowed “trumpee-bear” back in - Double, Triple Standards - HOW unfair - How does he expect for JONES to PAY all of his billions of LAWSUIT AWARDS ?!!!!

Yet he let the orange head back. Double standards

CNN is still fake news

The Islamic Republic has used nerve gas to suppress people in Joanrud. Vomiting, skin irritation, and coughing are among the primary side effects, but in the long run, it may cause cancer, skin allergies, and damage to the kidneys. More about this from factnameh

Lolz, you only generate views talking about us and nothing else. Buzzfeed, much

Why isn’t he in jail? Why is he still allowed to rant nonsense on that half baked channel?

elonmusk don't let ccn get away with this being the only news they want to report as being true it's funny to see them be honest for once

Is this because Alex Jones is really one of the lizard people who control our daily lives?

Don't you have some actual news to report ?

Lord knows why. He restored all the other liars and cheats.

Twitter belongs to Elon and I think he has earned the right to choose if he wants to be engaged in certain subjects and topics on this platform so I think if he thinks it’s taste less then he’d rather not deal with it. Freedom of choice!

But Trump and Greene are back on. Maybe Alex should sue Elon for the money to pay for those Sandy Hook judgements.

And he doesn’t care. You realise that you’ve helped raise Jones’ status to biblical level martyr and myth right? Jones will go down as one of the most important figures in modern history.. cnn. Not so much.

Thanks for reading ElonMusk's tweets to us... It's so much better with a dishonest middle-man. Major value add.

Oh, there’s no little poll for him

He should be getting a 2nd and 3rd job

Common Elon W.

Oooh, I got a warning if I should tweet that. How lewd.

At the least. Those parents deserve our prayers and respect. There are some things in this world no one should endure. My heart truly goes out to them.What Alex Jones did was reprehensible.

Ban trump again…never should be ever allowed back on elonmusk

Lmao 🤣

Lock him up in the loony bin and throw away the key.

CNN should be next!

Must have something on Elon? Interesting don’t you think

As it should be he incites violence

Musky competition Chicken 🐔

I’ll find dat boi. wherever

And yet, somehow restores trump’s?

*News reported The left: 'herrrr derrr Trump' FFS can't you guys get that guy out of your head?

u start censoring people - soon enough they will censor you. it is only a matter of time.

im sure he loves the free promotion 💪🏼

👍

This isn't right. I'm not a fan of Alex Jones but he's lied less than the current POTUS. Mr. Jones is a US citizen entitled to his freedom of speech.

I get the impression you ran this to try to lock Musk in to his decision.

Thank God he can’t come back! Can’t stand peoples theories that are unfounded! 😇

Really don't care about dogs

Too much legal liability after he lost those lawsuits. They don’t have the legal personnel to deal with this after the firings

elonmusk Free Alex Jones if you believe in free speech.

Ahhh…so Elon Musk, too, is in bed with the False Flag-producing Deep State. Thanks for letting us know, Muskie!

Wow it’s working in the opposite direction FINALLY

He’s wrong a lot but still right more often than your little parody channel.

But Donald Trump's conspiracies are okay?

FAKE NEWS

elonmusk “My firstborn child died in my arms. I felt his last heartbeat,” Musk tweeted. “I have no mercy for anyone who would use the deaths of children for gain, politics or fame.' respect

But Trump is fine? Okay. 🙄

We love Alex Jones

Good

I hate CNN so much it's unreal

He can’t afford Twitter

Jones is a deep state looney tune let him stay the way he is .

I don't think that will last forever. As soon as a few more of his conspiracies prove to be true then he'll be back...

Alex Jones has gotten more things right than CNN, funnily enough. Gagging your enemies has the opposite effect of what you intend, it will come back to bite you.

Alex Jones is unquestionably one of the worst human beings in existence. Pure evil. An arrogant liar and bully.I am being kind. He should be in jail for the things he has said and done.A disgrace to society.Just go far away.

So, is there a level a depraved liar must exceed to not be on Twitter? Is it a sliding scale based on the drugs Elon does that day?

I mean that was sick what he said.

CNN really dodged a bullet by not being banned for their conspiracy theories. Alex Jones: Sandy Hook. CNN: Trump/Russia, Nick Sandman, NASCAR Noose, Hunter’s Laptop, Jussie Smollett, Kyle Rittenhouse and the list goes on…

🔴 ...well, you did do a poll for Trump ...might as well continue the trend? 🥺°•

Yet

Great reporting! You are really knocking it out of the park with this ground breaking and timely article. Pulitzer price winning stuff.

Time will tell

So much for protecting Freedom of Speech.

Why, isn’t he able to exercise his right to free speech? I thought that was why Musky bought this platform.

Damn it elonmusk, look who you made happy!

well, if gives Donald Trump was reinstated. Well, his account already should be reinstated as well. Or is it the CEO of Twitter getting paid from those who are who banner

Wasn't Alex convicted of slander? That is o e of the legal limits to free speech and pretty consistent with what Elon has said I the past about limits of free speech on twitter I'm the past.

Apparently 1 strike and you’re out.

He doesn't have to , the people will bring his stuff to twitter just like they bring Trumps stuff from lie social over 🤔🙄

I can think of a few conspiracy theories CNN has peddled……

fear of the truth is a potent cocktail

Because he’s always right? 🤔

Curious, if Alex Jones created a new account called realAlexJonesSMD2 would Twitter detect that the real AlexJones created it & shut that one down too? I mean the way Google knows all, would Twitter do that too? Honestly having an account with zero reach is worse punishment.🤔

'free speech absolutist'

I hope so one less whack job.

Idgara

He's the same as everyone else. i.e. a big liar. elonmusk

Why not?

AJ is hTespeech personified. Hatespeech is against Twitter tos, so no admittance. Not to mention AJ is a convicted criminal.

good

But his reporting will continue ❤ And so will the resistance

Free speech for some, but not for all, right elonmusk?

Some kind of double standards policy, to be honest.

but he reactivates the account of BIGGEST liar in the history of the platform? the logic, be it as deranged as it is, eludes me...

Well, I agree.. Let him begin his own Social Media site.. (I have one, Trump has one) - and see how 'Important his words are' - he lost his case(s) he owes HUGE SUMS OF MONEY... and it was all because of his WORDS on a MEDIA PLATFORM that was simply Wrong, Wrong, Wrong!

😂 lol

Should be in jail

Conspiracy News Network

What no vote on it?!

It's Space Karen Speech Not intirely free.

Stupid speech is still free speech, there are still people spewing that the earth is flat on Twitter

Too bad for him and move on.. lol

What, no vote?

Well, isn’t Trump a conspiracy theorist?

Couldn't the snowflakes just block AJ tweets?

2016 election denier and conspiracy theorist CNN still on twitter somehow

lol - why do you think people use fake name when they post stuff - he will be on twitter and no one will even know... lol

Selective freedom of speech 🎤

First time you reported something correctly! Well done you 😁

RUSSIA , JUSSIE SMOLET, HUNTERS LAPTOP (DISINFORMATION). YOU TALKING ABOUT CONSPIRACIES... This is rich.!!

CNN should not be allowed on twitter.

I don't get it, one person damaged the lives of individuals for personal gain.. the other person told lies and damaged our entire country and election system.. how is that not actually worse?

Trump should be as well

That is straight ass wrong. PIcking choosing . When he said its a free speech platform . elonmusk

alex jones is controlled opposition, if he wasn't they would pay him no mind as to not bring attention to his ideas. he is generally correct but never mentions the role of zionism

What’s difference between him and trump? elonmusk

Boy, CNN calling someone else a “conspiracy theorist” That’s rich!!

How has CNN not been banned?

The government should rip every subsidy away from musks companies for being a foreign propagandist with malicious intent toward America

I thought CNN hated twitter are you leaving like CBS?

Alex Jones doesn't need Twitter. He makes tons of $$$ cash all by him self.

We literally all follow Elon Musk. We don’t need you to repeat him.

The hypocrisy of Musk is astounding

Another NASA Milestone of WASTED $4.1 BILLION test flight Orion - Artemis rocket & NOTHING SELF LANDING or REUSABLE! SpaceX Starship launch estimated cost of $10 million & self-landing reusable! NASA SHOULD NOT BE MAKING STUFF! Ideas & Goals only!

Alex got a million $ problems and Twitter ain’t one!

The man made a living pushing bullshit conspiracy theories and misinformation. Bold statements like running a pedo ring under pizza shops and saying sandy hook shooting was fake. That should never be allowed or tolerated. These are blatant lies that effected many innocent people.

He shouldn't be banned

So you approve, CNN?

Conspiracy theorist. :D Like when he said Trump is going to win in 2016? Or when he told us about Epstein? Or the gay frogs (even if that was true, science magazines had publications on it). He was right that the vaccinations are fishy, about mandates, etc.

That’s good news but why was Trump reinstated.

You would think Alex Jones pulled the trigger himself and killed all those kids the way you cover him.

WHAT A COWARD...

This is why a real company would have clear standards. There is no reason to reinstate TFG if you arent going to let all the other nuts on.

But why ? free speech if granted by almighty gahd

oh, i see what the criteria is: you must have money---that's the real reason Alex Jones can't return (as of recent court judgments, he probably has negative net worth), while billionaire/near-billionaire Trump and Ye can, isn't it?

If you vote red or blue this is you biting your own face

All democrats involved in those 45 million dollars investigation based on lies, fake dossier and CONSPIRACY THEORIES? Should be in jail. Why only conservatives can have conspiracy theory without getting in trouble? Double standards. Dems above the law.

Trump is back, lol

Look how many people died because Donald Trump tried to hide the fact that Covid was coming....reinstated anyway!

elonmusk time to show that cnn are liars again! I don't really care. Never watched AJ and have had minimal exposure to Infowars. I just want to see cnn have to eat their homework again. 😁🤪

He's not rich or powerful enough

Lol

I don't view this a censorship, as many do. Alex Jones' hate-filled rants have caused so much pain to so many people and they no place in a civilized society.

POTUS POTUS NATO FBI Investigate NIAC NIACouncil ! SenateDems SenateDems UN 10DowningStreet amnesty UNHumanRights EU_Commission Europarl_EN usairforce amnestyusa DHSgov JustinTrudeau HELP ! HELP ! 🆘 🆘 🆘 🆘 🆘 MahsaAmini PS752 IranRevolution

Shocked Elon not letting everyone damn loser back on.

unless he adds parody to his name

One man deciding who can come back and who can’t. Wonder what shit realDonaldTrump has on elonmusk for this favoritism to play out

There is 1% of dignity left in Elon

But insurrectionist Trump is. Makes zero sense.

This tells you all you need to know: ALEX JONES is over the target...too close for the 'elite's' comfort! 😡😡😡😡🙄

What, Elon, you have limits?

Lol how'd your streaming service do rofl

Hahaha! It’s RICH seeing a “News” organization that pushed one liberal hoax after another call someone else a “Conspiracy Theorists”. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

What, Jones refused to pay $8 a month?

Hopefully Elon changes his mind. Alex is a much needed voice.

freedom of speech, just not for him..

Interesting!! elonmusk you will let a man that wants to destroy our country back on. To which he won’t use and Twitter added users for him.

Can we ban him from the planet?

But you let the orange face creep back on?

Globalists man.

CNN trashes Twitter but it seems these days it's one one of their major news sources.

Now do trump elonmusk

Soft
