Elon Musk announced that he ordered the permanent closure of rapper Kanye West’s account after he posted an anti-Semitic message in violation of the rules of the platform. In the publication a Star of David could be seen inside which was a Nazi swastika.
In response to a comment from a user, Musk indicated that Despite his efforts to allow the return of Kanye, whose account was permanently suspended for similar comments, he decided to continue posting material that went against the rules .
“I did my best. Despite that, he again violated our rule against inciting violence. The account will be suspended,” Musk said.

Later he added that he had no problem with the rapper posting unflattering images of himself, since he had learned to use them as motivation to lose weight.
“Just clarifying that his account is being suspended for incitement to violence, not an unflattering photo of me being told off by Ari. Frankly, I found those photos to be helpful motivation to lose weight!”, he added.

Is It is not the first time that West has been involved in a scandal linked to the Jewish community and Nazism . Recently, the businessman also expressed that he was capable of seeing the good in all people, including Adolf Hitler himself, who he assured is someone he admires.
“I see good things in Hitler… Every human being has something of value that they contributed, especially Hitler,” said the rapper during a visit to the show of controversial conspiracy theorist Alex Jones.
Kanye West’s return to Twitter came almost in parallel with the reinstatement of the account of former President Donald Trump that had been suspended after the events of January 6, 2021 during the assault on the Capitol.
Later Elon Musk announced that he would carry out a general amnesty for all those accounts that have been permanently banned regardless of whether they have spread fake news or any other type of questionable messages, as long as and when they have not broken the law.
