Elon Musk Revealed The Heartbreaking Reason Why He Won't Let Alex Jones Back On Twitter

"I have no mercy for anyone who would use the deaths of children for gain, politics or fame."

Since his $44 billion buyout of Twitter, Elon Musk has made it abundantly clear that ensuring free speech is at the forefront of his priorities regarding running the social media platform.

In the past few days, Musk has unbanned and allowed several controversial figures back on Twitter, such as former U.S. President Donald Trump, Andrew Tate and Kanye West.

Musk's recent decision prompted a few people to question when the billionaire plans on letting conspiracy theorist Alex Jones back on the platform.

Unfortunately for Jones' fans, they can give up hope of him being let back on Twitter because Musk will not allow it.

Twitter user and author, Sam Harris, tweeted Musk asking, "Is it time to let Alex Jones back on Twitter, @elonmusk? If not, why not?"

Musk responded with the following verse from the bible: "Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven."

Jones is a controversial conspiracy theorist known to have said some outlandish statements in the past, including that the 2012 Sandy Hook shooting was a hoax and orchestrated by the government, reported the BBC.

Because of this, Jones was forced to pay $1.44 billion in damages for his false statements regarding the tragic incident.

He was eventually banned from Twitter and other social media platforms like YouTube, Instagram, Apple and Spotify in 2018, reported Business Insider.

Entrepreneur Kim Dotcom joined the conversation on Twitter and wrote to Musk, saying, "Alex f*cked up with Sandy Hook. He admitted that and apologized. He also got a lot of "conspiracy theories" right. If serial liars like Biden and Trump are allowed on Twitter, then Alex Jones should be allowed too. Please reconsider in the interest of real free speech."

"My firstborn child died in my arms. I felt his last heartbeat," Musk wrote back. "I have no mercy for anyone who would use the deaths of children for gain, politics or fame."

Nevada Musk was born to Musk and his first wife, Canadian author Justine Wilson in 2002, two years after the couple tied the knot, reported PageSix.

Their newborn son died a short ten weeks after his birth of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, also known as SIDS.

Musk has spoken about the loss on a few other occasions, and it seems like he does not take the topic lightly, understandably so.

Former deputy prime minister Chrystia Freeland says it's important for national security reasons that Canada do everything it can to diversify trade away from the United States. 

During a discussion at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York on Thursday, Freeland said it's dangerous to deepen or maintain a close economic relationship with a partner who "openly says they want to take you over."
