Elon Musk provided further explanation Sunday behind his decision not to allow Sandy Hook denier and far-right troll Alex Jones back onto Twitter. The platform’s new Chief Twit has reinstated Donald Trump and a host of other previously banned figures, but said he has “no mercy” for people who use children’s deaths for capital or fame.
Jones, who Twitter banned in 2018 for violating its abusive behavior policy, has infamously spread ridiculous conspiracy theories that the 2012 Sandy Hook elementary school massacre never happened. He was court-ordered to pay over $1.4 billion dollars to parents who suffered harassment from his false claim. Musk said that he lost a child to sudden infant death syndrome, tweeting, “My firstborn child died in my arms. I felt his last heartbeat.
elonmusk your pal, DonaldTrump used thinly veiled deception & lies about Covid-19 that literally murdered countless Americans.😳 Trump ignored BarackObama admin pandemic procedure & protocol because he is black! DonaldTrump lied, millions died.
Thank heaven for small favors
Who was the biggest fan of Alex Jones? Trump. Thus what’s the justification of reinstating Trump when he literally incited the mob on Jan06 and did little to stop it.
YEAH! We have enough DISINFORMATION coming at us from SO MANY MAINSTREAM MEDIA SOURCES we don’t NEED his voice! EVER!!! THANK YOU ELON!!!
That's a comforting thought. 🙄
