Political consultant and Trump ally Roger Stone announced on Wednesday that his personal Twitter account had been reinstated.
Stone had been suspended from the platform in 2017 after taking aim at CNN anchor Don Lemon in a series of tweets, at one point calling him “dumber than dog sh*t.”
Elon Musk who is a man of his word,” Stone said, adding that due to the reversal of his suspension, among others such as Trump’s, he now firmly believed that the billionaire was “committed to free speech.”
“I’m grateful to be back on Twitter,” Stone continued, adding, “you really don’t appreciate free speech rights until they are taken away from you.”
While he is now back on Twitter, Stone’s ban from facebook remains. However he argued that it was the result of “entirely false allegations” suggesting that he had been running hundreds of fake profiles.
He later tweeted a message of thanks to Elon Musk, and Jesus, commending once again the latter’s “commitment to fairness and free speech.”
