Elon Musk Bans Kanye West From Twitter After Swastika Post – SlashGear
West’s latest suspension isn’t really surprising, but it appears that Musk tried to talk some sense into him before his account was suspended. Responding to a tweet, Musk wrote that he tried his best, but West again “violated our rule against incitement to violence. Account will be suspended.” Investor Jason Calacanis, who is currently helping Musk run things at Twitter in an undisclosed role, tweeted that “rules are rules.”
Before his suspension, West shared a viral image of a shirtless Elon Musk on a boat and wrote that he wants the now-deleted post to be his last tweet. In response to West’s tweet, Musk wrote that the rap mogul’s “account is being suspended for incitement to violence, not an unflattering pic of me.” Twitter hasn’t clarified what was the exact tweet that prompted the disciplinary action, but screenshots circulating on the web suggest that he tweeted an image of a Swastika — a symbol associated with Nazism — sketched inside the Star of David, a symbol which is sacred to Judaism.
West’s problematic behavior has forced multiple high-paying brands like Adidas to cancel their business deals with the rapper. Just a day ago, it was reported that West will no longer purchase conservative social media platform Parler. Parler’s parent company announced in October that West would acquire Parler to create an un-cancelable social media platform.
