Kanye West’s Twitter suspension appears over after Elon Musk takeover | New York Post

Twitter appears to have lifted its suspension of Kanye West’s account – a move that came just hours after his friend billionaire Elon Musk completed his takeover of the company.

West, who legally changed his name to “Ye” last year, was suspended from the platform earlier this month after the rapper posted a series of anti-Semitic remarks.

But the account appeared to be restored as of Friday morning — although as of midday the rapper still hadn’t tweeted since his latest ban.

The Post has reached out to Twitter for comment. The rapper has more than 31 million Twitter followers.

Free speech includes, speech you may find offensive.
So get over it.
Let him speak, let everyone speak.

Hey, Twitter crybabies, "sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me."

[Flee-the-matrix]

He has the right to say what he wants to say period!

[msflintstone]

Pray for Kanye that he doesn't end up like Tupac, Michael Jackson, Prince just to name a few.
🙏

You can tell who controls things,
it's those whom you cannot criticize.

[dianeninetta]

That's nice. I like Kanye West. He just says what he thinks without fear.

[samaxe]

Ye You go Man Truth is finally been spoken

[magacop]

It’s funny how you can’t even say “Jewish People” in any conversation.

When did they become above criticism?

My Twitter account was blocked years ago but now suddenly it works. 🥰
My profile pic is my kitty but I guess they didn't like it? Idk, they never explained. 😿 I just wanted to create a nice memorial place for my kitty and they wouldn't let me. But now I can create a nice memorial with photos videos to remember sunshine 🐱 Yahoo did similar thing, I made a memorial for a close friend around 2007 and they shut down the site. I never used yahoo anything again.
Thank you Elon. 😻

Time to REACTIVATE EVERYONE!!! Including Mr DJT! No more censoring and time for real debates and real discussions without being afraid of being banned!

[negusdawoo]

Turns out Kanye was right .. go figure

[Paragon_Reason]

As much as I can't stand Kanye, Piers Morgan is also completely Disingenuous and insufferable.

[coryhill]

So does this mean that Kanye is still being suckered into buying the failing worthless platform Parler?

[jgga]

funny because we all know what kanye is talking about

[patriciaoreilly]

Free Speech . If you agree 👍 or not with others views it's called the art of conversation.

[nycak]

Kanye started being canceled after he wore the White Lives Matter T-shirt. Period, end of story. I’m glad he’s back on Twitter. Elon Musk…..G.O.A.T

[tonyshaw]

And people promoting genatal mutilation on Twitter don't get suspended, but I call LeBron James (a lady of ...ill repute... for the CCP) and I just got suspended (hate speech) just now 🤣🤣🤣🤣 truth hurts I guess
