Elon Musk Says Kanye West’s Twitter Was Reinstated Before He Took Over Company

Yeezy West has returned to Twitter.

After Elon Musk removed him from Twitter in December after Kanye West uploaded an image of a swastika inside a Star of David, the 46-year-old musician has now rejoined the social media network.

Before getting kicked off the network on December 2nd, 2022, West sent out a string of farewell tweets. In addition, he tweeted about cancel culture and implied that his ex-wife and Phoenix Suns point guard Chris Paul were having an affair. However, sources close to both Kardashian and Paul refuted this, calling West’s assertion “false.”

Since his account was reinstated, the rapper known only as Ye hasn’t posted anything.

In December, Musk, 52, spoke about his choice to expel West from Twitter, where he was CEO at the time. He wrote, “I did my best. “Despite this, he once more broke our policy against inciting violence. The account will be put on hold.

The uproar surrounding West stemmed from antisemitic comments he made on the platform a month earlier. He was previously suspended from Twitter in October due to a comment in which he threatened to do “death con [sic] 3 on Jewish people.”

Due of this, the rapper and fashion designer lost lucrative contracts with a number of businesses, including Adidas. His Twitter account was reinstated in November despite this.

Elon Musk, founder of SpaceX and chief executive officer of Tesla Inc., arrives at the Axel Springer Award ceremony in Berlin, Germany, on Tuesday, Dec. 1, 2020. Tesla Inc. will be added to the S&P 500 Index in one shot on Dec. 21, a move that will ripple through the entire market as money managers adjust their portfolios to make room for shares of the $538 billion company.

Musk describes himself as a “free speech absolutist” and has stated that Twitter should only get engaged to follow local laws.

A potential deal for West to buy the conservative social media site Parler also fell through last year. In a statement to NPR, Parler said that it had terminated an earlier contract with the rapper to sell the site in mid-November.

West’s antisemitic remarks during an interview on the alt-right web program InfoWars led to the move’s confirmation.

West remarked during his InfoWars interview that the Nazis “did good things too; we’ve got to stop constantly disparaging the Nazis.”(Hitler killed at least five million prisoners of war and about six million European Jews.)

After saying that the rapper didn’t “deserve to be demonized,” far-right InfoWars presenter Alex Jones added, “You’re not Hitler, you’re not a Nazi.”
