Musk’s social media platform unshackles two more free speech prisoners

Conservative UK political commentators Katie Hopkins and Tommy Robinson both had their X accounts reinstated over the weekend, signaling a victory for free speech.

Following the good news, Human Events Senior Editor Jack Posobiec asked if Alex Jones and Milo Yiannopoulos could be the next free speech prisoners to be let loose from their digital cells.

Milo and Alex next?

Hopkins thanked X owner Elon Musk, writing, “Thank you @elonmusk And thank you to all the Twitter family who have brought Tommy & I back to @X Know this. You are not alone. We are many. And we are stronger together. The fight back for your freedom is on.”

Robinson also tagged Musk in one of his first posts since March of 2018, writing, “I am grateful to @elonmusk for giving me my voice back at such an important time. I’ve been censored, attacked, slandered & imprisoned for shining a light on uncomfortable truths that our government wish to hide, the public are now aware I was telling the truth. We have lots to do.”

Other major X accounts echoed the call for Alex Jones to have his X page reinstated.

I’m glad @TRobinsonNewEra and @KTHopkins are back on X.

Alex jones next I hope.

Me and Tommy disagree on some things, we agree on others.

But free speech is free speech and I’m glad to have all opinions and voices in the public domain.

W for X, Elon, and free speech.

Please restore the account for Alex Jones. @elonmusk

The left and the courts are destroying the man for his free speech.

Milo Yiannopoulos, Alex Jones, @BasedPoland

Bring. Them. All. Back. https://t.co/EhQTf7fYQ2

This is significant because, with the possible exception of Alex Jones, there are no longer any major Twitter/X accounts still under permanent ban.

Free speech is a thing! https://t.co/DpudCTQrzH

Time will tell whether or not the reinstatement of Robinson and Hopkins signals Jones’ return to the social media platform.
