Kanye West, who now goes by the name Ye, tweeted an image of the Star of David with a swastika inside it late Thursday. On Friday, the rapper’s social media page showed the label: “Account suspended.”
“I tried my best. Despite that, he again violated our rule against incitement to violence. Account will be suspended,” Musk tweeted.
West recently appeared on a podcast hosted by conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, during which he told the Infowars host, “I like Hitler.”
