Elon Musk kicks Kanye West off Twitter, after the controversial rapper posted a picture that appeared to show a swastika interlaced with a Star of David
Musk, who calls himself a free speech absolutist, had welcomed the return of Ye to the platform in October.
"Just clarifying that his account is being suspended for incitement to violence, not an unflattering pic of me," Twitter CEO Elon Musk said in response to West's tweet on Friday. Twitter also restricted one of Ye's tweets on Thursday. His account was suspended within an hour after Musk responded to a Twitter user, who said "Elon Fix Kanye Please."
Musk, who previously called himself a "free speech absolutist," has repeatedly said he believes that all content permitted by law should be allowed on Twitter and sought to remake the social media organisation after he took control in October.
