Did that stop Alex Jones from slandering the victims of Sandy Hook?

Last time I checked, Alex Jones's web traffic increased, because that slander / misinformation made him more money. People wanted that misinformation badly.

His long term outlook is very poor though. Judgements will likely be reduced (if Jones co-operates with the court this time) but he'll be lucky to have a home when everything is over.

Perhaps Alex Jones is a bad example then.

Does Elon Musk's blue checkmark stop him from posting misinformation on say... the number of bots on Twitter and whether or not they'd allow him to not buy Twitter over that argument?

Or TSLA going private for $420?
