Parler, the social media service that bills itself as a platform for free speech and is popular among right-wing audiences, said on Thursday that the rapper and fashion designer, known for antisemitic commentary, is no longer buying its products.
After sharing antisemitic commentary on the platforms, Mr. West agreed to buy Parler for an undisclosed amount in October. As a result of the deal, Ye and Musk were given personal outlets to assert their views about speech on the platforms.
Ye's deal for Parler fell through in November. The sale of the social media service to Parlement Technologies was not going to move forward.
A Parler spokeswoman said that the company and Ye had agreed to end the sale of Parler. She said that Parler would continue to pursue future opportunities for growth.
The person could not be reached for comment.
Ye said in October that he would use Parler to make sure conservatives were heard. He said that in a world where conservative opinions are considered to be controversial, we need to make sure we have the right to express ourselves.
Ye has been pushing antisemitic messages ever since. Several fashion brands have stopped doing business with him due to his posts.
Ye praised Hitler during his appearance on the Alex Jones show.
Ye said that every human has value that Hitler brought to the table.
Last month, the restrictions on Ye's account were removed. Mr Musk welcomed him back to the platform.
Mr. Musk came back to the platform with a message that said, "Don't kill what ye hate save what ye love."
He frequently posted messages to the service after returning to it. He said he loved the first amendment. I pray that Jesus knows that he is a real person.
His account on Parler hasn't been active recently. His last Parler post was a week ago, when he posted a picture of himself with the caption, "#YE 24." He missed the deadline to appear on the ballot in many states in his bid for the highest office in the land.
Parler is an alternative and anything-goes social media site that was founded in Nashville. It's become popular among people who said they were removed from mainstream platforms because of their right-wing views. Parler was once the most downloaded app on Apple's App Store and drew millions of Mr. Trump's fans in the process.
Last year, Apple, Amazon and Google kicked Parler off their platforms after the app hosted calls for violence. The site has not been able to maintain a large user base.
While Parler believes the best way to address the problems of hate and divisiveness in today's culture is to allow more speech, Christina Cravens, Parler's chief marketing officer, said in a statement, "While Parler believes the best way to address the problems of hate
