X owner Elon Musk has agreed to reinstate the account of controversial commentator Nick Fuentes, with the tech mogul saying he believes it’s better to have contentious views aired openly on the platform where they can be subjected to scrutiny and debate rather than to “grow simmering in the darkness.”
Mr. Musk made the announcement in response to a post on X by a user who called on him to “bring Nick Fuentes back on Twitter,” referring to the platform by its former name.
