Kanye West’s Twitter account was suspended early Friday morning after Elon Musk said it violated the platform’s rules on inciting violence.

“I tried my best. Despite that, he again violated our rule against incitement to violence. Account will be suspended,” Musk tweeted in a reply. CNN could not confirm which specific tweet prompted West’s suspension. However, earlier in the evening, West — who has legally changed his name to Ye — tweeted an altered image of the Star of David with a swastika inside.

In the video, West did not apologize for his antisemitic remarks but seemed to try to distance himself from any “hate group.” “I have no association to any hate group,” West said as he closed his remarks in prayer. “If any hate happens upon any Jewish person, it is not associated because I am demanding that everyone walk in love.

Does Kanye know that the Nazis would have killed too for being black?

Maybe Elon will invite him for dinner!?

There is a block icon..Use it.. I've blocked Elon n wanted to block Yoyo Ye

Why was Musk even trying to rehab Ye’s image?

I thought freedom of speech is still a thing, a valuable thing in discussion, guess you still got the right of freedom speech, but other got the right to shut you up

Why Cia yet has not murdered him? Because he is functional to their system, while awaiting for the GrandCoup

When the platitudes of unlimited free speech are pitted against the realities of maintaining a profitable company through advertising revenue, the latter apparently wins. And that kids is why social media companies have rules and censor posts. Every. One. Of. Them.

⤵ ball... seems he'll be voted back again once thee the people release that education is key. Thee education

West is sick!!

Musk just coming to terms with how free speech is?

Imagine being so rightwing that you get suspended from Twitter these days

Don't trust this man he's a 🤡 working with the same people he used to say 'they control' yeah they control the world wide narrative thru him, you all are talking about him and that's what they want.

enough of this...

If CNN believes Elon Musk on any subject about Racism, Hate and his actions on Ye and other Haters, I humbly invite CNN to take a visit with me to Nigeria. CNN may as well believe I own the oldest bridge in Lagos I like to sell to gullible CNN.🤣

He has serious issues . Hitler killed children . Kayne needs help.

He may have a message to the public and probably rather listen to him than condemn him. It’s no a secret jews themselves slaughtered 6m Ukrainians in 1932-33 under Stalin and it’s no a secret holocaust was accused on Hitler. Question is why isn’t holocaust dying out? Hoax

See, Ye fans? You can't simply rehabilitate him.

If only Kanye was a Ukrainian, he would be getting away with all this shit.

My goodness: „…several people who were once close to West said that he has long been fascinated by Adolf Hitler and once wanted to name an album after the Nazi leader…“ A clear evidence the concept of „free speech“ doesn’t work and Internet is not an area of lawlessness 🤷🏻‍♂️

Musk not being any different to how Twitter was run previously ..one is suspended for denying Holocaust and for supporting Hitler but can flourish on the very same platform when denying the Kashmir genocide while siding with the islamist perpetrators.👎

This Kanye West thing is as fake as Will Smith's staged Hollywood slap.

Nice one

While US government is directly arming NAZIs in Ukraine

Kanye needs rehab...you guys won't take it seriously till he turns into a Zombie and blow up thousands in a mall claiming he did it for ye.... probably that's when you people will act

But daddy elonmusk promised us free speech!

twitterfiles twittergate

If Kanye West is comfortable showing his anti-Semitism in public, what is he saying behind closed doors? 😬

Kanye is going through a lot. Pray for him

So it started out Hitler only wanted to be a painter. He goes to the city of Vienna and he loves the vibrant life. He is excited to find his place in the world. An artist he tries art school they tell him he ain’t cut out to be an artist. Who did that? What evil?

IT IS IMPOSSIBLE 4 BLACK PEEPLE TO BE RACISMIST!!! CEPT 4 THIS ONE! THIS IS IT THO.

Oh thank god.

Again, I thought you said Twitter was dead. Yet, here you are once again. Tweeting about someone else's twitter.

Thank God!

Joe Brandon government colluded with Twitter

They drop episode 2 of TwitterFiles tomorrow

Ok cool, but seriously, u not even gonna mention the Twitter files? ImpeachBiden

The Border situation has been ignored why? 73,000 gotta ways just in November.

Good 👍🏻

That's right, Twitter shouldn't be a tool for communicating hate.

A lot of people already know the truth so. You might as well unite The United States of America 🇺🇸 👏 more than 1 choice

Apparently, posting this picture of the fuhrer Musk (the whitest dude on earth) has consequences.

Anti-Semitism is bullshit, let's talk about muslims!!!

CNN you and the media should come out with the truth. You all have been lying to people so it goes one way we must unite USA thank God we are a two party system.Cant have 1 party rule 😉

Filed under, Meh...

Yeah, Twitter just isn't safe anymore. You all should totally leave! It's just terrible here!

Violence?

Or was it after the EU started making noise about banning Twitter?

No, it was after he posted an image mocking the chief twit.... get it right.

Can Elon Musk Twitter account also be suspended for firing thousands of employees Morning_Joe nprpolitics CNNPolitics RpsAgainstTrump

from everything We dont loose anything but nonse ideas

Dose of humbleism.

He is very famous in America but you send him to south Asia here people will put him zoo... Black monkey face man

What an embarrassment for his family & kids to be stuck with a Father like Kanye. I feel back for his kids. They will be ridiculed for life.

Good! I generally don't agree with censorship but this man is vile & disgusting!

Elon Musk gets his checks signed by the same Pedophile Scum that sign the checks of all the zombies at this Chinese Communist Network

I believe that an intervention is needed here. I believe someone needs to make sure that any and all medications are administered. Clearly self care is vacant

But, but, …several people died during Capitol Hill riots..and donaldjtrump ?!🫣..ELONMUSK

Elon -- Once a RACIST --always a RACIST -- Duh, I thought you were smarter than that !!

I guess free speech is overrated

I thought the GOP and Elon Musk decided that violence was free speech?

This is a good decision. Inciting violence may not be tolerated.

That was Ye’s last post.

weapons of mass destruction and a million dead Iraqis gets you bag and speaking tours tho - looking at you David Frum

That balenciaga thing🤔does that symbolism promote violence against children?

ConYe West.

aww, poor kanye, look at his face lol

Damn shame .......already

Amazing..but Donald is coming back back, right..?

As it should be.

But I thought that elonmusk’s Twitter encouraged hate speech and violence? That’s what you just told us last week.

Sho would like to see Jerry Jones come forth & come right on out and Denounce Racism!!! King Kyrie Kanye

Kanye is getting more unhinged, but it's very fun to watch.

I watched the entire interview, what did Kanye say? I must have missed that?
