Did the pro-free speech X owner signal tacit support for Alex Jones’ media platform amid this unprecedented disinformation media environment?
Elon Musk appeared to invoke Alex Jones flagship platform Infowars in response to the media’s whitewashing of Kamala Harris’ radical left record.
It started with Fox New contributor Ben Domenech on Saturday highlighting that a prominent pro-Kamala Harris X account lied about Trump running mate J.D. Vance’s position on Project 2025.
“The Harris campaign is falsely representing this interview, which took place before Vance even announced a run for the Senate and years before Project 2025 existed. I know this because I’m the interviewer,” he posted on X.

This prompted tech entrepreneur Mike Solana to point out that American politics is embroiled in an “all out information war right now” as the election approaches.
Weighing in on the matter, Musk replied simply, “info wars.”

Musk’s subtle nod to Infowars prompted Alex Jones to praise him as a “Field Marshall” in the information warfare battlespace after he bought Twitter in 2022 and restored free speech to the social media landscape.
I love the info war. And I love our field Marshall!

Musk had notably participated in an X Spaces discussion with Alex Jones in December after restoring him to the platform following a years-long ban by former Twitter gatekeepers.
Alex Jones and Andrew Tate sincerely thanking Elon Musk for protecting Freedom of Speech in one of the best X spaces ever. EPIC.
