Elon Musk suspends Kanye West’s account for breaking Twitter rules

The account of West, also known as Ye, has been suspended by Musk after he posted antisemitic messages. Musk told Kim Dotcom that Ye's account was suspended for "incitement to violence" and not because of the music artist posting an "unflattering" picture of him.

Just clarifying that his account is being suspended for incitement to violence, not an unflattering pic of me being hosed by Ari.

Frankly, I found those pics to be helpful motivation to lose weight!

West posted a picture of a Nazi swastika with the Star of David in the background. He wrote on Truth Social that his account was locked. Musk said he tried his best to get West to follow the rules, but the rapper continued to post content that violated the platform's rule against inciting violence.

I tried my best. Despite that, he again violated our rule against incitement to violence. Account will be suspended.

This is not the first time that West has broken rules on the social networking site. His account was temporarily shut down for posting antisemitic content. He doesn't seem to have learned from his mistake.

Since last night, West has been the center of news coverage. The House Judiciary Republicans account said "Kanye" after this appearance. There is a person named "Elun." The President of the United States of America, Donald Trump.

Parler said that Ye isn't buying the company after all.

The statement said that the company and Ye had agreed to stop the sale of Parler. The company and Ye had reached an agreement for the rapper to buy the social network.

The platform hasn't changed any of its policies, despite a post earlier this week that said it is committed to healthy conversation. There are multiple policies about account verification that the company has changed. Musk offered an "amnesiac" to suspended accounts based on the results of a poll.

The new owner promised a moderation council with widely diverse viewpoints in October. There have been no changes on that front. The only policy Musk has talked about is suspending accounts that are inciting violence.
