Elon Musk Wanted to Punch Kanye After Swastika Post
Did he really, or is he just trying to justify banning Ye for "inciting violence"?
During a Twitter Space session held by Kim Dotcom, Elon Musk declared why he felt he was justified to permanently ban the controversial singer and presidential candidate after he had posted images that included Swastikas and a Raelian Symbol.
“I personally wanted to punch Kanye so it was definitely inciting me to violence,” he said.
While most have been critical of West for his choice of posts, conservatives have lashed out at the censorship because they felt it may have been very negative but didn't qualify as "inciting violence," which Twitter has set as one of its new bar for banning people. West is the first high-profile account to be permanently banned under Musk's watch.
Here's the clip:
So far, Musk's reign over Twitter has been well-received by the political right. But there are still some who are skeptical that he will truly embrace the free speech has was espousing before the purchase.
Elon's excuse for banning Ye was puerile i.e. incitement to violence. This reaction is a public display meant to appease the advertisers and stop the hemorrhaging of ad revenue. The symbol that Ye posted, and was banned for, wasn't even a swastika. Is Musk now to become the new fascist 'moderator' of Twitter? Is this the juvenile reason he bought the platform? He said he was appalled that humor wasn't allowed on Twitter - at least he kept his promise there by making himself laughable.
No free speech when it comes to Jews. You are also required to believe the history Ashkenazis made up about themselves and either bow, grovel or be in fear of offending them.
