In a surprising turn of events, Elon Musk, the eccentric billionaire and CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, has offered to restore controversial conspiracy theorist Alex Jones's banned social media account. But here's the catch: Musk wants to take a poll of Martian users before making a final decision.
Yes, you read that right. Musk, who has been known for his ambitious plans to colonize Mars, apparently believes that the opinion of potential extraterrestrial residents should be taken into consideration when it comes to matters of Earthly social media bans.
According to Musk, the poll will be conducted using SpaceX's Starlink satellite internet service, which is currently being tested on Mars. Martian users will be asked to vote on whether or not Jones's account should be restored, as if they have nothing better to do on the Red Planet.
When asked about his reasoning behind this unusual decision, Musk simply replied, "Why not? Martians deserve to have a say in Earth's affairs too. Plus, who knows, maybe they're big fans of Alex Jones up there."
While some may see this as yet another one of Musk's eccentric ideas, others are questioning the legitimacy of the poll. After all, how can we be sure that there are any Martian users to begin with? And even if there are, do they really care about Alex Jones's social media presence?
Nevertheless, Musk remains determined to carry out the poll, stating that it's all part of his grand vision for a multi-planetary society. He even hinted at the possibility of future polls on other controversial figures, such as flat-earthers and anti-vaxxers.
As expected, the announcement has sparked a flurry of reactions on social media. Some users are applauding Musk's commitment to inclusivity and democracy, while others are simply scratching their heads in confusion.
Meanwhile, Alex Jones himself has expressed his gratitude towards Musk, calling him a "true visionary" and a "hero for free speech." He eagerly awaits the Martian poll results, hoping for a second chance to spread his conspiracy theories and questionable ideas.
So, whether you believe in aliens or not, it seems that Elon Musk is determined to give them a voice in the world of social media. Who knows, maybe one day we'll have a Martian president and a Martian Twitter trending page. Stranger things have happened in the realm of Elon Musk's imagination.
