West has made a lot of antisemitic comments in recent weeks. According to CNN, he admires Hitler. West, along with Donald Trump, met with a white supremacist. He was removed from multiple social media platforms due to his behavior. Hours after West praised the Nazis and Hitler in an interview with Alex Jones, the social networking site was banned. West said he liked Hitler and spouted many antisemitic conspiracy theories. He said that the Nazis did a lot of good things and that people shouldn't be mean to them. West told Jones that he loved Jewish people but also loved Nazis. Many Republican politicians condemned the comments. The Republican Jewish Coalition said Zeldin's interview was a "horrific cesspool of dangerous, bigoted Jew hatred." The head of the Anti-Defamation League called West a "vicious antisemite" and said his comments put Jews in danger.

The plan to buy Parler fell through on Thursday. CNN reported that the rapper's business difficulties were a factor in the decision.

Surprising Fact

The unflattering image of Musk, topless, on a yacht was posted by West. The decision to suspend West's account was not influenced by the post. He said that the pictures were helpful in motivating him to lose weight.

West's posts have been taken down. Drew Harwell is a tech reporter for the Washington Post.

$198.6 billion. Forbes has a real-time tracker that shows Musk's net worth. He co-founded and is currently the CEO of the leading electric car company. West is thought to be worth $400 million. After Adidas and other major brands severed business ties, he dropped out of the ranks of billionaires.

Trump seems to stop short of condemning Nick Fuentes, but he does say that he doesn't want to express his views.

The net worth of a billionaire is destroyed by antisemitism.
