Once again, Elon Musk soiled his already battered and disgraced reputation by reinstating Sandy Hook denier and uber-conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, after running a bogus poll on a site largely populated with extremists and trolls.

This ridiculous online poll was most likely dominated by right-wing white supremacists under Musk's careful eye, but the owner of the social media company formerly known as Twitter pretended decent human beings voted Jones back on the island.

Alex Jones is known for his bogus conspiracy theories ranging from QAnon tripe to saying the government controls the weather. Jones owes the Sandy Hook families more than a billion dollars for saying the shooting was staged and the victims weren't really dead.

Jones has been banned from Xitter since 2018 for repeatedly disregarding their terms and conditions and being an overall scumbag, but all bets are off for the unrepentant creep who now owns it.

Here's a thought: If C&L or any other influential website runs an online poll that concludes Alex Jones should be banned for life from Xitter, will he then respond to the will of the people?

Fat chance.
