Elon Musk on Thursday indicated that he might consider reinstating right-wing commentator Alex Jones's account on X, platform formerly known as Twitter. The tech billionaire said that he would hold a poll on the matter. This comes as Jones's interview with Tucker Carlson aired on the platform.
"Will consider. In general, since this platform aspires to be the global town square, permanent bans should be extremely rare. Also, if he does say something false on this platform, then @CommunityNotes will correct him, whereas that would not be the case elsewhere. Let's hold a poll:" Musk said.
