Parler’s parent company announced the deal on Monday morning, saying West had made “a groundbreaking move into the free speech media space and will never have to fear being removed from social media again.” The acquisition comes after West, who has legally changed his name to Ye, was temporarily locked by Twitter this month over an antisemitic tweet.
Buying Parler could make West the latest celebrity owner of a social media platform after former President Donald Trump’s bid to win over conservatives with Truth Social and Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s proposed acquisition of Twitter. “In a world where conservative opinions are considered to be controversial we have to make sure we have the right to freely express ourselves,” West said in a release by Parler.

Yuck
God CNN you SUCK, just use your words. They are not 'conservative' they are right wing fascist extremists, homophobes and racist misogynistic incels.
Y'all really trying to blame social media on hiding the laptop story? Come on, Man!!! jaketapper
Waste of money
The hate speech platform will suit his needs.
Oh... Wow... a platform I never heard of... Cool, anyway... This isn't interesting.
A RACIST SHOULD OWN A RACIST SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM BECAUSE ONLY RACIST PARTICIPATE ON RACIST PLATFORMS
Please stop reporting on Kayne West.
Oh good riddance.
I guess I'll have to continue to avoid it.
I thought he changed his name to Ye.
Owned by RealCandaceO husband. It all makes sense now.
Would someone please hold a mirror up in front of Kanye 😳
Many of whom hate him to the core just because he is black! Why would I waste my money to buy a platform enjoyed by people that just hate me? Frankly my dear, I cannot comprehend it…
Well, the racist should be leaving it. Ye doesn’t realize that white supremacy doesn’t include him.
Should we be wondering how the GOP judiciary committee foresaw this so well?
Why didnt trump do this instead of starting new one
Who cares?
Uncle Kanye will never be white no matter how much ass kissing of white people. White supremacists will always see him as a second class citizen.
😂😂😂
Good business move
Who even knew that place was still around.
Cost of 'free speech' in America circa 2022, need to own the town square. Platform
Good for him. GD shame folks have to buy a platform just to be heard without being censored and banned.
kanyewest clown 🤡
I forgot Parler was still a thing...
And then merge with Truth Social?
In a weird way, a black-owned racist site is progress.
this makes so much sense. He is getting pushed off the major platforms so needs his own to platform his own ego.
Wasn’t that the platform that was hacked and all user info stolen? Can’t believe it’s still around
He thinks he's Elon Musk
That’ll go well…
Lol, and they call this guy a genius? Lol fuckin terrible investment
Confused supremacist!!
Support black owned businesses and this is great .
