Musk stated on Twitter that “Account will be suspended.”
Also on Thursday, while wearing a mask and speaking with American conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, West praised the Nazi leader Adolf Hitler and ranted about sin, pornography, and the devil.

When rapper Kanye West suggested that the centuries-long enslavement of African-Americans may have to make a “choice” in 2018, musician Will.i.am spearheaded a reaction against him. West then attempted to clarify his comments.
His most recent Twitter ban came only hours after the right-wing social media network Parler, which styles itself as a “free speech” alternative to popular platforms, stated that West does no longer allow to buy the company.
