Elon Musk has not unbanned Alex Jones from Twitter because Jones serves as a sacrificial token to protect other users.

They put so much evil energy onto me, like I'm the devil with the dumbed-down mask. That he's barely hanging on. They've taken 59% of the revenue away. He may not win this fight. But if he unbans me, he's basically unbanned almost everybody else. If he unbans me, I'm kind of like the token black sheep that has to be sacrificed. I don't agree with it, but I know why he's doing it.

Elon Musk is keeping Alex Jones off Twitter to prevent jeopardizing his ability to bring back other patriots and turn Twitter into a free speech zone.

So he's doing the right thing by keeping Alex off Twitter because he's allowing all the other patriots and soldiers back onto Twitter, which is part of the revolution and stuff. But if he let Alex back on Twitter... It would make the media go crazy, and it would jeopardize his ability to bring back all the patriots and turn Twitter into the free speech zone or whatever.

Savannah Hernandez was banned from Twitter for evading a previous ban, not for her video about Leah Thomas.

But as it turns out, she wasn't actually kicked off for the video. She was kicked off for creating a new account to evade a previous ban. And the way that her new video went viral in the right-wing media, it brought her ban evasion to Twitter's attention. So her new account got banned.

Marjorie Taylor Greene views being banned from Twitter as a badge of honor and evidence of persecution by leftist platforms.

You know, I just got kicked off of Twitter and I wear that with like a badge of honor. Joining you and so many others that have been kicked off that hateful, evil, leftist platform that just spread lies and basically controls politics and messaging in the media. And I'm so happy I got kicked off. You know, anyone that gets persecuted by these type of platforms, you really...

Jack Dorsey likely did not know the specific reasons for Alex Jones' ban from Twitter because CEOs often lack knowledge of day-to-day operational details.

No, but I honestly, I think he should know by now, but the idea that he wasn't directly involved in that, I would believe that as a possibility. I think it's also possible where he's like, of course I don't know why he's banned. I'm letting somebody who's way worse than him run Twitter right now. Look, if he legitimately asked Jack, he was like, okay. What were the reasons that Alex was banned? And Jack responded with the actual reasons? Right. Then the next thing that you say, like for Jack, the smartest thing to say is I don't know. Right. Because if he responded with actual reasons, Joe goes, okay, Trump did that. Trump did that. Sure. What are your reasons, then? You do enter a conversation you can't have. Exactly. No. Of course I don't know is the correct answer. Sure. And I also believe it's possibly accurate. It's also possibly accurate. The idea that the CEO of a company doesn't know about operational day-to-day stuff, I believe that 100%.

Jack Dorsey personally vetoed the banning of Alex Jones until the incident with Oliver Darcy occurred.

He was being like, well, you know, let's not kick him off. You know, he was personally vetoing the kicking off of Alex. Yeah. And then after that interaction with Darcy, I would not be surprised if that was enough to be like... He'd be like, all right, you guys are right. Fuck this. Let's just do it.

Alex Jones's ban from Twitter was the natural consequence of his actions, not an attempt to silence conservatives.

No matter what the reality is, Alex had way too many chances, and he blew all of them. And it has nothing to do with any of the things that he suspects that it is, some sort of silencing of conservatives or anything like that. This is all the very natural consequences of his actions.

The timing of Alex Jones' Twitter ban is dangerous because it validates his narrative of persecution.

Him being kicked off Twitter the next day is fucking super dangerous. I don't think it's wrong that they did it. I understand why. You need to do it. You should have done it earlier. But the timing is really fucked up. Because on his show today, he said something that will become his narrative. This will validate him for the next, I don't know, at least six months.

Milo Yiannopoulos was removed from Twitter because he tweeted fake racist messages attributed to Leslie Jones, inciting death threats and doxing her, rather than for a joke about her weight.

So he claims that he was kicked off Twitter because he made a fat joke about Leslie Jones. Sure. Absolutely not true. Nope. That was very, very not true. Could be because he's a racist Nazi. That's a big part of it. Also tweeting fake tweets that were created. You know how you can just make a fake tweet with someone and make it look like they said it? He tweeted a bunch of racist things and faked it as if they were coming from her. Sicked a bunch of really crazy people at her who were making death threats. Wonderful. Ended up hacking her, leaking nude pictures of her and shit like that. That's why you get kicked off Twitter. Jesus fucking... You were instrumental in a doxing. That's what happens.
