Info Wars Host Alex Jones has been reinstated on X (Twitter) after being banned from the platform since 2018.
Jones’ reinstatement comes after Elon Musk posted a poll asking users on X if Jones should be reinstated.
In the poll, over 1,960,000 people voted and 70.1% of voters called for Jones to be unbanned.

Per NPR:
Elon Musk has restored the X account of conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, pointing to a poll on the social media platform formerly known as Twitter that came out in favor of the Infowars host who repeatedly called the 2012 Sandy Hook school shooting a hoax.
It poses new uncertainty for advertisers, who have fled X over concerns about hate speech appearing alongside their ads, and is the latest divisive public personality to get back their banned account.
Musk posted a poll on Saturday asking if Jones should be reinstated, with the results showing 70% of those who responded in favor. Early Sunday, Musk tweeted, “The people have spoken and so it shall be.”
A few hours later, Jones’ posts were visible again — the last one from 2018, when the company permanently banned him and his Infowars show for abusive behavior.
Previously, Musk shared he would not reinstate Jones over his comments about the Sandy Hook shooting and even went as far as saying he would have no mercy on Jones.
