Elon Musk may have unbanned Infowars host Alex Jones on X, the social media platform previously called Twitter, but there are several alt-right or other controversial profiles that remain banned.
Musk posted a poll over the weekend asking if he should unban Jones. More than 70% of respondents said he should, leading to the Tesla CEO reinstating the conspiracy theorist back to the platform. He later said in a Twitter Spaces with Jones, Jack Posobiec, and several others that the company would ideally never ban anyone unless the person was involved in something illegal.
