Twitter CEO Elon Musk suspended Kanye West’s account this week after the troubled rapper began posting Nazi swastikas while praising dictator Adolf Hitler.
Kanye West was suspended from Twitter after he tweeted an image of a swastika inside the Star of David. Elon Musk said the post violated the platform's rule against inciting violence. The tweet was deleted shortly before West's account was shut down. https://t.co/Fq5ADz5YAE

Before his suspension, Ye also published an unflattering image of Elon Musk shirtless aboard a yacht.
“This is fine,” Musk tweeted. “This is not,” he wrote regarding the Nazi post.
“He again violated our rule against incitement to violence,” Musk added. “Account will be suspended.”
I tried my best. Despite that, he again violated our rule against incitement to violence. Account will be suspended.

Hours earlier Ye appeared on Info Wars where he repeatedly praised the policies of Adolf Hitler because he “had cool outfits.”
