PORTSMOUTH, OH – Kathie Griffin, Jorden Peterson & Babylon Bee have been reinstated,” Musk tweeted. “Trump decision has not yet been made.” 

Musk rejected the return of controversial Infowars host Alex Jones back. The comment came during a brief Twitter interaction, after Musk asked users, “what should Twitter do next?” one user suggested that Alex Jones be unbanned, to which Musk simply replied, “No.” 

Alex responded to Elon’s rebuff. “So, Elon Musk has the EU [European Union] threatening him not to bring back Alex Jones and Donald Trump. He has DHS [Department of Homeland Security] behind the scene with a bunch of moles inside his organization… I understand why Musk did this. He’s got the ADL [Anti-Defamation League] and the Democrat party on him.” Alex asserts that he does not blame Elon.  

 

So, free speech is not so free in Elon’s playbook.  

“New Twitter policy is freedom of speech, but not freedom of reach,” Musk tweeted. “Negative/hate tweets will be max deboosted & demonetized, so no ads or other revenue to Twitter. You won’t find the tweet unless you specifically seek it out, which is no different from rest of Internet.” 

But you know Twitter is doing something right when the mainstream media mafia and tech czars whine, complain and criticize Musk: New York Times, Axios, Washington Post, Politico, News Guard, and PEN America.

Wow, that’s an interesting list of censorship-loving crybabies. 

“Soros, Clinton-Tied Groups Claim Musk’s Twitter Ownership ‘A Direct Threat to Public Safety’” notes a recent article at Newsbusters. Clinton-linked Accountable Tech and Soros-linked UltraViolet are both examples of “activist groups pressuring advertisers,” but in this case, they also reflect their backers’ far left politics. 

Megalomaniacs George Soros and Hillary Clinton – two more radical lefty censorship czars.   

Did Musk expect the censorship cabal to come after him with a vengeance when he bought Twitter? Probably. He knows the power of the most powerful.
