Kanye West’s Twitter Account Has Been Suspended, Elon Musk and Twitter Reacts

Kanye West has been on a downward spiral as of late and yesterday may have been the most damaging day yet. It started when a video was released showing Kanye on Infor Wars praising Hitler and the Nazis.

The final straw was when Kanye tweeted an image of the swastika combined with a Star of David.  Elon confirmed that this was it was NOT ok and suspended Kanye’s account. Elon has this response to a fan asking him to “fix Kanye:”

Twitter users have been sounding off on Kanye’s suspension. These are some of the best reactions to the news.

  This is literally why you bought Twitter though, to empower people like Kanye . It why you fired all those people, it why you posted pictures mocking t-shirts. He's literally the mascot of your vision of Twitter.

  I mean I really thought you had him in line. That's what you tweeted, anyway.

  Elon, will you commit to suspending yourself when you violate Twitter rules (which you've arguably done in the past)? That would show your real commitment to the platform and a consistency that's been lacking in the public sphere...

  Sir Elon, you may never read this but I seriously thank you for being consistent. Kanye is your friend, I saw that, yet, you delivered the action proper to standards relative to all users. Truly amazing what you do in real time. You set a high bar as example to other leaders.

  Kanye might got the dumbest fans any celebrity has ever had. He could take a shit on y’all and y’all would still defend him 😂😂😂😂

  Imagine someone told you in 2005 that Kanye West would go from saying “George Bush doesn't care about Black people” to "I like Hitler" in 2022. You would have laughed in their face.

  As a former die hard Kanye fan…It’s not mental health, it’s not because he is a “Musical genius” or his mom dying or any other reason.
  
  Ye is just a garbage human who doesn’t want to live by any normal social codes. https://t.co/LhBsu37ok5
