My cynical/realist interpretation of what's happening: Musk is not at the same point he was before when he rejected bringing Jones back. He's chosen not to completely cave to the regime to bring back ads, so giving the impression of replatforming Jones is good optics, & he's in an optics war. He needs the people's support, so he can't be as negative against Jones as he used to be. Everything he does is out of self-interest (with some whimsy), not for the greater good. This could be interesting.

What if Elon Musk was never the real name of a real person
What if Elon Musk is a fictional character written by script writers working on the same team as the owners of the media outlets and social media networks
We already know at least part of the moon landing was simulated and at least some of the footage inside the space station uses computer generated images
Why would Lone Skum who is in charge of space x or space sex be anything but a space liar?
