The Twitter account of Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, was publicly visible again Friday morning — less than a day after Elon Musk completed his takeover of the company.
Driving the news: He was suspended on Twitter earlier this month for posting antisemitic remarks.
- Axios could not independently verify that Twitter granted Ye access to his account, and it's not clear if he has posting privileges.
- Musk plans to avoid lifelong bans on users, Bloomberg reports. He previously indicated he would allow former President Trump back on the platform.
- The move came days after Ye was dropped by Adidas and other brands for his comments.
Flashback: In the fallout of his comments, Ye has said he will buy Parler, a social media app that has become a haven for conservatives.
Meanwhile, Musk purged a number of Twitter execs Thursday night, including Vijaya Gadde, Twitter's longtime head of legal, policy and trust, who was in charge of significant account decisions, including suspending Trump's account.
