Kanye Finds Elon's Line, Gets Suspended From Twitter After Posting Swastika

We're elbow-deep in another Kanye West news cycle, as the rapper continues to prove he's really all-in on his recent admiration for Nazis.

Yesterday, Ye made Alex Jones, of all people, squirm as he declared "I love Hitler" on Infowars, among several other controversial statements. Now, he's run afoul of self-professed free-speech absolutist Elon Musk after posting a swastika on Twitter, earning him a suspension from the platform.

Horrifying – a swastika embedded within a Jewish star.

The symbol, a Star of David inside a swastika, is the icon of the Raëlism Movement, an atheistic religion that believes humanity was created by extra-terrestrials, which has also been accused of being a cult.

The swastika post was apparently the final straw for Musk, who tweeted that he had "tried his best" to "fix Kanye," but the rapper, unfortunately, "again violated our rule against incitement to violence" and that his Twitter account would be suspended.

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

For his last tweet, Ye posted the widely mocked picture of Elon Musk shirtless in Mykonos along with the hashtag "#Ye24." Musk said, "This is fine" before replying to Ye's swastika tweet saying, "This is not."

In other news, Kanye's deal to purchase Parler, the controversial Twitter alternative that some speculated would allow him to post whatever he wants, has also fallen through. Currently, Ye is also banned from Instagram after claiming Diddy was being controlled by Jews.

At the moment, even some of the most optimistic believers of Ye's hypothetical presidential run have soured on his candidacy.
