Elon Musk suspends Kanye West from Twitter for inciting violence

Twitter’s new boss Elon Musk was asked by one user to “fix Kanye”.

West had “violated our rule against incitement to violence”, Musk tweeted.

“Account will be suspended,” Musk wrote in a Twitter post.

Also on Thursday, while wearing a mask during an interview with American conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, Kanye West lauded Nazi leader Adolf Hitler and ranted about immorality, pornography, and the devil.

The leader of the Holocaust Educational Trust in the United Kingdom branded West’s remarks as “repulsive and terrible.”

In a statement, Parlement Technologies said: “The company has mutually agreed with Ye to terminate the intent of sale.”

The decision was reached in mid-November, according to the company that manages the much smaller site, which is popular with conservatives and the far right.

“Parler will continue to pursue future development prospects and the advancement of the platform for our thriving community,” the company stated in its statement.

Musk assumed ownership of Twitter in October and immediately initiated a series of drastic reforms within the social media behemoth, including the removal of prohibitions on contentious accounts.

He has stated that he had no part in restoring West’s Twitter account, stating that the account was restored before he acquired the social media network.

West was diagnosed with bipolar disorder many years ago and has openly discussed his struggles with mental health.

However, medical professionals and many who share West’s illness have cautioned that mental health issues are not synonymous with antisemitism.JAMB Result
