Kanye West Banned From Twitter After Posting Swastika and Texts With Elon Musk
Musk, who has previously said he’s a “free speech absolutist,” tweeted at West before he was suspended, saying that it was fine for West to tweet unflattering photos of Musk shirtless, but not okay to tweet the swastika.
“I tried my best. Despite that he again violated our rule against incitement to violence. Account will be suspended,” Musk tweeted after West’s suspension.But it wasn’t just the swastika that apparently upset Musk, since West also shared private texts between the two billionaires. “Sorry but you have gone too far. This is not love,” Musk texted West according to screenshots posted by the rapper before his account was suspended.Musk, who has called West a friend on several occasions, tweeted “FAFO,” early Friday, an acronym for “fuck around and find out.
Twitter’s press team, which may or may not exist anymore since Musk took the helm, did not respond to emailed questions early Friday. Gizmodo will update this article if we hear back.The far-right has often tried to dance around explicitly embracing Nazis in public as a way to win what they call the war of optics with regular Americans. But West set fire to that thin veneer of respectability on Jones’s show Thursday and clearly upset Musk enough to ban him from Twitter overnight.
Twitter’s rules are obviously being selectively enforced right now but there’s one thing that will definitely get you banned: Don’t piss off Elon Musk.
