He did it.
We're back. Let that sink in.

Elon Musk is a nonreligious pagan with somewhat libertarian politics who appreciates and is a fan of the Christian-based satire published by the Babylon Bee.
The Bee was suspended by Twitter in March for posting their article, The Babylon Bee's Man Of The Year Is Rachel Levine. Richard (aka "Rachel") Levine is the U.S. assistant secretary for health for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and pretends to be a woman, to the idiotic applause and celebration of the morally unmoored.
Under previous management, Twitter required the Bee to delete their tweet as a requirement for account restoration. The Bee refused, sticking to principle and refusing to apologize for their Christian beliefs.
Musk is a longtime fan of the Bee, having retweeted or commented on many of their satire pieces, and even joined the staff of the Bee last December for a fascinating interview on their podcast (which you can also watch here).
The Bee has laughed up their unlikely friendship with articles like Babylon Bee Introduces 'Elon Musk' Subscription Plan For Fans Who Happen To Be Eccentric Billionaires, 'I'm Elon Musk, I'm Here To Rescue You,' Says Musk While Busting Everyone Out Of Twitter Death Star Detention Level, and Elon Musk Backs Out Of Twitter Deal After Realizing He Can Read The Babylon Bee By Going Directly To Their Website.
The eccentric billionaire-entrepreneur started the afternoon off with this:
Freedom Fridays …

He made the following announcement shortly afterwards:
Kathie Griffin, Jorden Peterson & Babylon Bee have been reinstated.

Trump decision has not yet been made.
Twitter is still in a state of flux as Musk continues to try molding it into a platform more up to his vision, and there are still concerns about how the present state of censorship will change under his new direction, but for now one thing is certain: @TheBabylonBee is back.
P.S. In the extremely unlikely event that you read this, Elon, three things:
- I'm flattered that you visited.
- My hometown of Muskogee (hence Muskogee Politico) is not named after you, but sure would love a visit.
- You need to repent of your sins and believe the gospel - that Jesus Christ died for your sins, was buried, and rose again to provide salvation for all who truly believe. It is only through Jesus that you can have eternal life. Acknowledge Him as Lord and give Him your life today.
