Kanye West's Twitter account suspended again
Kanye West's Twitter account has been suspended after the rapper posted a picture of a swastika merged with the Star of David.
New Twitter CEO Elon Musk confirmed the suspension in a tweet replying to a post of an unflattering photo of the billionaire, which West called his “final tweet.”
“I tried my best. Despite that, he again violated our rule against incitement to violence. Account will be suspended,” Musk tweeted.
The 45-year-old rapper is also not buying right-leaning social media site Parler, the company said Thursday.
He had offered to buy Parler in October. At the time, the rapper and Parlement Technologies, which owns Parler, said the acquisition would be completed in the last three months of the year. The sale price and other details were not disclosed.
“This decision was made in the interest of both parties in mid-November," Parlement Technologies said in a statement Thursday. “Parler will continue to pursue future opportunities for growth and the evolution of the platform for our vibrant community."
Launched in August 2018, Parler didn't start picking up steam until 2020. It was kicked offline in January 2021 over its ties to the deadly insurrection at the US Capitol earlier that month. A month after the attack, Parler announced a relaunch but didn't return to Google Play until September of this year.
West has made a series of antisemitic comments in recent weeks, including praising Hitler in an interview with conspiracy theorist Alex Jones on Thursday.
I tried my best. Despite that, he again violated our rule against incitement to violence. Account will be suspended.
