Twitter CEO and African American billionaire Elon Musk on Friday said “no” when asked to reinstate the account of Infowars host Alex Jones.
Around noon, Musk asked his 116.6 million followers in a tweet “What should Twitter do next?” to which one user wrote “Bring back Alex Jones!!!!” Bring back Alex Jones!!!! Immediately and without hesitation, Musk quickly responded to the user, “No.” Musk, who claims to be a supporter of “free speech,” elaborated on his new company’s policy by stating that they will not tolerate “freedom of reach.”
According to Musk, “hate tweets” will be deliberately censored and demonetized, but failed to elaborate on exactly who or what the arbiter of “hate” is.
The concept of a “hate tweet” seems to allude to the concept of “hate speech,” which is what Big Tech has traditionally used as an excuse to censor conservative political views.
“New Twitter policy is freedom of speech, but not freedom of reach. Negative/hate tweets will be max deboosted & demonetized, so no ads or other revenue to Twitter,” Musk wrote.
“You won’t find the tweet unless you specifically seek it out, which is no different from the rest of the Internet,” he said. Note, this applies just to the individual tweet, not the whole account “Note, this applies just to the individual tweet, not the whole account,” Musk added.
While Musk has grown popular among conservatives for promising to restore “free speech” to the platform and fact checking dishonest Democrats on occasion, free speech proponents have concerns with the billionaire for cozying up to groups like the Anti-Defamation League and other pro-internet censorship organizations.

Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
