Elon Musk kicked Kanye West off Twitter on Friday “for incitement to violence”, after the rapper posted a picture that appeared to show a swastika with a Star of David.
The post came hours after an interview with the American conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, in which West declared his “love” of Nazis and admiration for Adolf Hitler.
In an hours-long appearance on Infowars, the show fronted by Jones, West — now known as Ye — wore a black mask completely covering his face, as he ranted about sin, pornography and the devil.
“I like Hitler,” West said several times.
West, who has hinted he is running for US president in 2024, has spoken openly about his struggles with mental illness.
The businessman has seen his commercial relationships crumble after a series of controversial comments.
