On the two-year anniversary of the Capitol attack, Michael Flynn, one of the most vocal 2020 election deniers, had his account restored.
The retired army general had been off the platform since two days after the insurrection. Flynn had more than one million followers and shared conspiracy theories about the election results.
In the aftermath of the riot, the former Trump advisor began to spread conspiracy theories and advocated for Christianity to become the sole religion in the US in November 2021.
Flynn said that he was still banned from the social networking site. Roger Stone took up the cause of Flynn and asked Musk to bring him back.
Flynn's account reappeared on the timelines on Friday. He thanked Musk for restoring his account.
Flynn thankedelonmusk for all he was doing to help protect our basic human rights. I would like to thank you for allowing me back on the social networking site. Thank you to all of the people who supported me. God bless the United States.
