Elon Musk suspends Kanye West from Twitter

BY , Dec 2, 2022 1:38 PM - REPORT AN ERROR

Elon Musk said Twitter will again lock rapper Kanye West, who goes by Rapper Ye handle on the platform, for violating rules against incitement.

West went on an antisemitic tirade during an appearance on American far-right radio show host and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones' 'Infowars' talk show in which the controversial rapper praised Hitler.

"I tried my best. Despite that, he again violated our rule against incitement to violence. Account will be suspended," Musk responded to a Twitter follower who asked him to "fix" West.

Musk clarified 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," said Musk after West posted some of Musk's private pictures on Twitter where he is seen taking a bath on a yacht.

West told Jones on his talk show that Hitler, like every human being, brought value to the world.

He also said he sees good things about the Nazi founder.
