Keeping the Sandy Hook conspiracy theorist off Twitter is personal for Musk.
“My firstborn child died in my arms. I felt his last heartbeat. I have no mercy for anyone who would use the deaths of children for gain, politics or fame,” MuskMusk’s first child, Nevada Alexander, was born in 2002 to his first wife Justine Musk. Nevada passed away at 10 weeks old of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, commonly known by its abbreviation SIDS. Elon and Justine have five other children together.
Jason Calacanis, a venture capitalist who was brought in my Musk to help run the company, also explained the reasoning to keep Jones banned from his perspective.“Alex Jones is pure evil and the easiest case for any platform to adjudicate—in my opinion ,” Calacanis“$1.4b in judgements across multiple jurisdictions in the United States, where speech almost always default wins over victim suffering,” Calacanis continued.
The decision to keep Jones banned didn’t go over well with right-wing influencers on the platform. Tim Pool, a Trump supporter and YouTube personality, seemed angry that Musk wasn’t going to let Jones back on Twitter.
Musk, who purchased Twitter for $44 billion with a number of co-investors, very publicly welcomed Donald Trump to the platform after a two-year ban this weekend, but the former president has yet to tweet and says he has no plans to do so in the future. In fact, it’s not even clear that Trump can use Twitter, given his agreement with his own social media company, Truth Social.
