“We will always remember this as my last tweet”wrote Kanye “Ye” West before his Twitter account was finally listed as suspended. With her message she showed a photo of Elon Musk shirtless. Some netizens speculated that this was the reason why the billionaire made the decision to ban Ye.
However, Musk, who has been speaking out about free speech on social media since announcing his intent to buy the blue bird platform, explained:
Just clarifying that her 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 weight loss motivation!

In this context, the singer’s account was suspended early this Friday for messages that incited violence. According to various reports, the ban came after the rapper posted a photo of a swastika fused with the Star of David.
“I did my best. Despite that, she again violated our rule against inciting violence. Account will be suspended,” Elon Musk wrote, in response to a tweet.
I tried my best. Despite that, he again violated our rule against incitement to violence. Account will be suspended.

Let’s remember that it is not the first time that Kanye has been suspended from the social network. Weeks ago, Twitter deleted a message containing anti-Semitic comments and temporarily banned its user.
On that occasion Elon Musk commented: “I spoke to Ye today and expressed my concerns about his recent tweet, which I think he has taken seriously.”
The singer’s comments and positions have cost him contracts with big brands like Adidas, GAP, Balenciaga, Vogue and even the JP Morgan bank. In a recent interview, Ye commented that he sees “good things” in Hitler. His statements were taken as an affirmation that he admires said character.
