Elon Musk revealed that his newborn son tragically died in his arms as he addressed the Alex Jones ban from Twitter.

The 51-year-old Tesla founder has presented himself as a ‘free speech absolutist’ in recent moments since taking over Twitter, and allowed Donald Trump to return to the platform nearly two years after he was banned following the 6 January attack on the US Capitol.

However, Musk has remained set on not allowing conspiracy theorist Jones back onto the social media site in light of his extreme right-wing views that the Sandy Hook school shooting was a hoax.

Musk rarely speaks about the tragic death of his first child, but couldn’t overlook the tragedy when it comes to refusing Jones access back to Twitter.

“My firstborn child died in my arms,” Musk wrote on Twitter in response to someone asking whether Jones would be returning to the platform.

“I felt his last heartbeat. I have no mercy for anyone who would use the deaths of children for gain, politics or fame.”

Musk shared his first son, Nevada Alexander, with his first wife Justine Wilson, who was born in 2002.

Tragically, at just 10 weeks old, he died from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).

His ex-wife Wilson wrote in a personal essay in Marie Claire: "Nevada went down for a nap, placed on his back as always, and stopped breathing.

"By the time the paramedics resuscitated him, he had been deprived of oxygen for so long that he was brain-dead.

"He spent three days on life support in a hospital in Orange County before we made the decision to take him off it. I held him in my arms when he died,” she tragically recalled in the article.

Jones repeatedly told his millions of followers that the US government facilitated a fake shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School, Connecticut - in which 20 children between just six and seven years old and six staff members died - as a ploy to take away guns from Americans.

The Infowars host has now been ordered to pay $1.44 billion in damages to the families for promoting the false conspiracy theory, following lawsuits in the states of Texas and Connecticut.
