In a recent move that sent shockwaves through the tech world, President Joe Biden’s Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has rejected subsidies<\/a> amounting to nearly $1 billion for Elon Musk’s ambitious ‘Starlink’ internet service. This decision comes hot on the heels of Musk’s controversial move to reinstate the banned Twitter accounts of Infowars and its host, Alex Jones.<\/p>\n

Back in 2018, Alex Jones found himself at the center of a digital storm when he became one of the first Americans to be systematically de-platformed by major tech companies. In a synchronized effort, Facebook, Apple Podcasts, and Twitter removed Jones and Infowars from their platforms within mere minutes of each other.<\/p>\n

Now, fast forward to the present, and Elon Musk’s decision to resurrect the accounts of Jones and Infowars is raising eyebrows and fueling speculation. The timing of the FCC’s denial of subsidies to Musk’s Starlink service in the aftermath of this Twitter account controversy is raising questions about potential connections.<\/p>\n
