Elon Musk has restored the X account of conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, pointing to a poll on the social media platform formerly known as Twitter that came out in favour of the Infowars host who repeatedly called the 2012 Sandy Hook school shooting a hoax.It poses new uncertainty for advertisers, who have fled X over concerns about hate speech appearing alongside their ads, and is the latest divisive public personality to get back their banned account.Musk posted a poll over the weekend asking if Jones should be reinstated, with the results showing 70 per cent of those who responded in favour. By late on Sunday, Musk tweeted: “The people have spoken and so it shall be.”
