Elon Musk Suspends Kanye West’s Twitter Account

On Thursday, the rapper shared a picture that appeared to be a Nazi swastika inside a Star of David, a religious symbol of Judaism, and indicated it would be used as the logo for his 2024 presidential campaign.

Twitter’s new boss was asked by one user to “fix Kanye” after the rapper’s account was initially locked temporarily for 12 hours following the offensive tweet, which was deleted.

Musk replied saying, “I tried my best. Despite that, he again violated our rule against incitement to violence. Account will be suspended.” 

I tried my best. Despite that, he again violated our rule against incitement to violence. Account will be suspended.

Before Kanye’s account was suspended on Thursday night, Musk tried to solve the problem privately. He sent a message to the rapper telling him: “Sorry but this is not love, you have gone too far.”

West then defiantly replied: “Who made you the judge?” To which Elon Musk replied with the lord’s prayer: “Our Father who art in Heaven.

Ye then shared an unflattering picture of a shirtless Musk aboard a yacht with billionaire Jew, Ari Emanuel spraying him with a hose, writing: “Let’s always remember this as my final tweet.”

In response to those criticizing his action, Musk explained that Kanye was suspended for violating Twitter’s rules, and not because of the picture he shared of him.

Musk wrote, “Just clarifying that his account is being suspended for incitement to violence, not an unflattering pic of me being hosed by Ari. Frankly, I found those pics to be helpful motivation to lose weight!”
