Musk not reinstating Alex Jones’ Twitter account

(CNN, KYMA/KECY) - While Donald Trump and Kanye West's Twitter accounts got reinstated, Alex Jones is banned from the Twitterverse.

On Friday, new Twitter owner Elon Musk said the conspiracy theorist would not be allowed back on the social media platform.

Some Twitter users are asking for Jones to be reinstated.

But on Sunday, Musk expanded his stance by tweeting that his first-born child died in his arms from sudden infant death syndrome and he has, "No mercy for anyone who would use the deaths of children for gain, politics or fame."

Earlier this year Jones was ordered to pay hundreds of millions in damages linked to his lies about the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary school shooting rampage.
