Elon Musk Brings Nick Fuentes Back To Twitter

Very well, he will be reinstated, provided he does not violate the law, and let him be crushed by the comments and Community Notes.

It is better to have anti whatever out in the open to be rebutted than grow simmering in the darkness.

Thank you @elonmusk for reinstating my account and upholding your commitment to free speech.

I have been censored on every major platform for +3 years. Much has been said about me in that time by groups like ADL and SPLC…

I look forward to reintroducing myself in my own words!

I’m happy for Nick.

As a matter of principle, I have never supported him being deplatformed. I also hope this is a step toward getting less controversial accounts unbanned like Jared Taylor and James Edwards. It makes little sense to have Alex Jones and Nick Fuentes back on Twitter without bringing everyone back.

Fuentes has also quickly amassed over 278,000 followers. Obviously, I was wrong to believe that the America First movement had peaked and was fizzling out after a couple of rough years. Israel’s genocide in Gaza and the growing backlash against Zionism on the young Left and young Right has been rocket fuel for Fuentes. I don’t think it is a coincidence that Elon Musk let Fuentes out of the basement just days after Congress passed the Antisemitism Awareness Act after a year of banning his sock puppets.

What do you think will Nick do with this lucky break? Will he use it to capitalize on the backlash against Zionism and to challenge the likes of Ben Shapiro? Will he get bored and use his platform for edgelording about how Hitler was great or to post violent incel fantasies about abusing women?

I can see it going either way.
