The owner of social media platform X Elon Musk has reinstated the profile of American radio host and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones after a poll of the site's users supported the move, Reuters reported.

"The people have had their say and it will be done," Musk wrote in a post in response to a query Saturday about whether Jones' account should be reinstated.

A Texas jury on Aug. 5 ordered conspiracy theorist Alex Jones to pay $45.2 million in punitive damages to the parents of a child who was killed in the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre, adding to the $4.1 million he must pay for the suffering he put them through by claiming for years that the nation's deadliest school shooting was a hoax.
