TL;DR Summary
Elon Musk has restored the Twitter account of conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, citing a poll on the platform that showed 70% in favor of reinstating him. This move raises concerns for advertisers who have left Twitter due to hate speech concerns. Musk, who has described himself as a free speech absolutist, stated that the decision was about protecting free speech rights. Jones, known for spreading conspiracy theories, repeatedly claimed that the Sandy Hook school shooting was a hoax.
