A Story of Two Criminally-Incriminated Pseudoscalars: The Case of the Sandy Hook Elementary School Shooting
Muslims, immigrants and the LGBTQ+ community are common targets for Jones, but what finally landed him in major legal trouble was claiming, falsely, that the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, Conn. was an “inside job” and a “government operation.” He also claimed, again falsely, that no one had died in the shooting – which left 26 people dead, 20 of them being children – and that everyone speaking about the event was a “crisis actor.”
Jones caused a lot of controversy with claims that the “New World Order” was sacrificing children on aCalifornia compound, that the U.S. government had “weather weapons” that cause disasters, and that the FBI Director was a demon.
Musk took a poll on X and decided to restore Jones’s account based on the results. Previous to the poll, Jones’s last post on the platform was Sept. 6, 2018.
The conversation covered a series of, at times, confusing topics including the “deep state” and the threats that the participants perceived to masculinity.
Musk raised eyebrows when he appeared on stage at the DealBook Summit in New York in November and leveled profanities at companies who pulled ads from X.
Musk has reinstated several banned or suspended accounts since purchasing Twitter, including ones belonging to former president Donald Trump and social media personality Andrew Tate, who was indicted earlier this year on human trafficking and rape charges in Romania.
