- 0:03Well, I guess just in case there were a few censorious authoritarians that Elon
- 0:08Musk hadn't pissed off yet, Well, now we get this breaking. Elon
- 0:12Musk considers bringing Alex Jones back to X. Will run pole to decide.
- 0:19And whatever you think of Alex Jones and what he might have said, it's
- 0:23all legal speech. His big billion dollar trial that's in civil court, and
- 0:29from a First Amendment perspective, there's no reason to keep Alex Jones off any
- 0:34social media platform. And if you really care about free expression, even for
- 0:38people that you disagree with, well he shouldn't be banned. On Thursday,
- 0:43Elon Musk announced that he is considering reinstating right wing commentator Alex Jones's account on
- 0:49X, saying he would hold a poll on the matter. This has been
- 0:52a frequent tool that Musk has used to make decisions regarding the platform. Yeah,
- 0:57he ran a poll to see if Trump should be allowed back on again,
- 1:00and the people said yes, and Trump was reinstated, And he said,
- 1:03Vox popular Vox day. What does that mean? Says the voice of
- 1:08the people is the voice of God. You know what I like where he's
- 1:12going with that. I think it sounds a lot better than just I guess
- 1:15whatever the DNC put in Rachel Maddow's teleprompter. And I liked this too.
- 1:22To the judge, but the judge is going to be a judge of the
- 1:26public. If you wonder why Elon Musk is hated by the most powerful people,
- 1:30that's it right there. So Elon Musk responded to these tweets you have
- 1:34here Erica wolf Jones saying Tucker Carlson's interview with the most censored man in the
- 1:41world drops tonight, to which the quartering said, think about how much letting
- 1:46Alex Jones back on x would make the machine rage at Elon Musk. It's
- 1:52time, And Musk responded to this, he said, we'll consider in general,
- 1:57since this platform aspires to be the global town square, permanent bands should
- 2:01be extremely rare. Also, if he does say something false on this platform,
- 2:07then Community Notes will correct him, whereas that would not be the case
- 2:10elsewhere. Let's hold a poll. And I like this because it may not
- 2:15be perfect, but Community Notes is far better than any other fact checking mechanism
- 2:22I've seen anywhere else. It seems to be the only one that isn't just
- 2:24outright biased. Now, Jones was permanently banned from the social media platform before
- 2:30Mosk acquired the company last year. In fact, the info Wars host has
- 2:35been banned from the platform since twenty eighteen. At the time, Twitter said
- 2:39they made the decision to ban Jones for violating the company's abusive behavior policy.
- 2:46According to AP, Jones's Twitter crime was insulting a CNN News reporter outside a
- 2:52congressional hearing, as someone had filmed the interaction on periscope, and Jones reportedly
- 2:58did not film or a upload the altercation himself. So that's the official reason
- 3:04that he was banned, But we all know he was gonna get banned anyway.
- 3:07They're gonna find a way, you know. After at Trump one in
- 3:10twenty sixteen, a lot of people, a lot of people that the people
- 3:15running Twitter didn't like, got canceled. So what would happen if Alex Jones
- 3:20was allowed back on x formally Twitter. Well, I think that this tweet
- 3:23sums it up perfectly. The ultimate liberal meltdown will follow one second later,
- 3:30Yes it will. And I wonder what Elon's response to that will be,
- 3:39go fuck yourself? Is that clear? I hope it is Hey, Bob.
- 3:47That sounds about right to me. And of course, if Alex Jones
- 3:52is reinstated to X formerly Twitter, the same teleprompter readers as usual will be
- 3:58screeching about misinformation. There'll be alarmist opheads in the New York Times and the
- 4:03Washington Post about the end of democracy because as far as I can tell,
- 4:10they think that the only real threat to democracy is actually democracy. And of
- 4:15course the boycott stuff will go on, but that was all gonna keep going
- 4:17on anyway, because they don't hate X. They don't hate Elon Musk because
- 4:23X has misinformation on it. They hate it because it has information that they
- 4:29don't like. Anyway, That's all I'm gonna say about that. Please subscribe,
- 4:32like and share sharing. It really helps me out. I thank you
- 4:34for that. I will see you next time.
