Why Elon Musk has banned Kanye West from Twitter

Kanye West's account was suspended by Elon Musk on Thursday night. It is unclear whether the suspension is temporary or permanent. The rapper was kicked off Twitter 'for incitement to violence' after he shared a picture of a swastika and a Star of David. He had previously made a string of anti-Semitic comments. His net worth has plummeted. He was recently divorced from Kim Kardashian. Elon bought Twitter for $44billion last month. Musk has previously said he wants to reduce content moderation on the platform. Karen Pollock CBE, Chief Executive of the Holocaust Educational Trust, called West’s comments repulsive and sickening.

Kanye West's deal to buy Parler is off. Parlement Technologies and Ye had agreed to part ways in mid November. Kanye had earlier expressed his love for Hitler during an unhinged appearance on InfoWars. The rapper was suspended from Twitter after the interview. Musk has previously said he has no mercy for Alex Jones. He also banned Jones from his Twitter account. West appeared on Infowars with Nick Fuentes, a white supremacist. Musk is also a critic of Alex. Jones and his InfOWars website. It's unclear whether Musk's musing on 'turning the other cheek' was in reference to West or to Jones, who signed the printed tweet in the photo.
