Elon Musk suspends Ye’s Twitter account after swastika publish

Ye’s Twitter account was suspended once more on Friday for violating the social media platform’s guidelines on “incitement to violence,” CEO Elon Musk stated.

The rapper, previously generally known as Kanye West, appeared to publish a picture of a swastika, an emblem synonymous with the Nazis, inside a Star of David, a distinguished image of Judaism.

Musk stated he “tried his finest” in response to Ye’s tweet, which may now not be seen. “Regardless of that, he once more violated our rule in opposition to incitement to violence. Account shall be suspended.”

Ye’s tweet got here after he made antisemetic feedback in an interview with the controversial radio host Alex Jones Thursday. Ye referred to “the Jewish media” and stated he noticed “good issues about Hitler” in an hour-long dialog with the conspiracy theorist.

In October, Twitter locked Ye’s account for an unspecified period of time following a string of antisemitic remarks which escalated into threatening and hateful feedback about Jewish individuals. He returned to Twitter in November.

Ye’s antisemitic outbursts have led to main industrial companions reducing offers with the rapper.

Adidas ended its partnership with Ye final month whereas Hole and Foot Locker stated they’d take away merchandise from the rapper’s Yeezy model from their shops.
