Elon Musk has reinstated controversial right-wing commentator Nick Fuentes on the social media platform X, sparking a wide range of reactions. The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) expressed concerns about Fuentes' return due to his history of promoting hate and antisemitism, emphasizing the need to address hate speech while recognizing free speech rights. Ben Shapiro, while critical of Fuentes, acknowledged his right to speak on the platform. Alex Jones also supported Musk's decision, praising his commitment to free speech. The decision has led to discussions about the limits of free speech and the responsibilities of social media platforms in regulating content.

Why Ben Shapiro won't debate Nick Fuentes: "What I am not happy to do is have a debate with somebody who has joked about my death, called people who work for me Shabbos goy race traitors, & praised the Unite The Right rally in Charlottesville." https://t.co/evVnJwCKHN
Most people are more concerned about the ADL with your assaults on free speech and your demands for censorship against opinions you don't like. Nick Fuentes is a clown 99% of the people have never heard of. https://t.co/7PFnsVR5ui
What makes Nick Fuentes a white supremest? I also beloved this until my black friend told me it was all lies and had me meet him X also platforms black supremest like @tariqnasheed As a free speech absolutist I believe Jewish, White, or Black supremacists should be allowed https://t.co/oQ0DF6EwqJ
We are concerned that white supremacist influencer Nick Fuentes may be officially welcomed back on X. While ADL recognizes the right to free speech, we must also sound the alarm on hate and antisemitism in all its forms. Learn more about Fuentes here: https://t.co/W2FdzUwwWD
