Elon Musk confirms deactivation of Kanye West’s account on X after the rapper declared himself a Nazi

Kanye West, who went on a Nazi speech tirade lasting the entire last weekend, had his account on X (formerly Twitter) deactivated on the platform managed by Elon Musk.

The rapper made a series of tweets with antisemitic, misogynistic, and racist content before Elon Musk publicly stated that he “would no longer see” Kanye West’s account on X.

Among the extremely controversial posts, he shared explicit hate speech against Jews, openly declared that he is a “Nazi,” praised and said he “loves” Adolf Hitler, and even said he had plans to launch a T-shirt with a swastika for his clothing brand, Yeezy.

Before deactivating his account, the rapper, who thanked Musk for “allowing” him to “vent,” also posted several adult-content videos and criticized multiple celebrities, as well as taking a stance in support of P. Diddy, who is incarcerated on abuse charges.

In his last post on Sunday night, he wrote: “It was very cathartic to use the world as a sounding board. It was like an Ayahuasca trip.”

“I love all of you who gave me energy and attention. For us [sic] to reconnect again. Good afternoon and good night,” West said before logging off.
