BREAKING: Alex Jones responds to news Elon Musk is about to restore his X account

On Saturday, Alex Jones asked his audience to go to Elon Musk's X page and vote to reinstate him on the platform and praised the billionaire for "valiantly leading the fight" against the suppression of free speech rights. 

In the statement, Jones said, "Elon Musk has come out and said he vehemently disagrees with things I have said in the past about that school shooting, but he is going to leave it up to the viewers and the users of X." 

He claimed that he didn't say the things they said and that he was railroaded "like Trump," but he hasn't been able to respond because he hasn't been allowed on any platforms. 

Jones said, "Tucker Carlson having me on last week really broke the internet, and put this issue front and center." He added, "People got to hear what I say versus edited sound clips." 

"If we are ever going to have free and fair elections, in this country or around the world again, we have to have free platforms," Jones continued. "Elon Musk understands that. So he said that even though he disagrees with the stuff they made up about me, he's open to putting me back on because of the principle."

"You're an absolutist for free speech Elon?" He noted. "You're about to prove it." 

Jones closed the statement by asking his audience again to go vote on Elon Musk's poll on X. 

On Friday, Alx posted his poll after Musk said he was considering reinstating the InfoWars host. After 92 percent of the 58,497 respondents voted for allowing Jones back on the platform, Alx said, "The people have spoken. It's time to reinstate @realalexjones." 

Musk responded to Alx with, "Ok." 

Musk posted his poll Saturday morning and with seven hours remaining 70 percent of the nearly 1.4 million respondents have voted to allow Jones back on X. 

This is a breaking story and will be updated.
