Why Ye was really banned from Twitter

It had nothing to do with antisemitism.

Ye Trolled Elon Musk With Unflattering Shirtless Pic Before Suspension–And Musk Just Responded

Rapper and designer Ye trolled billionaire Elon Musk with an unflattering shirtless picture of Musk before the tech billionaire confirmed he suspended Ye's Twitter account. Ye tweeted a swastika—which is widely recognized for its appropriation by the Nazi Party and by neo-Nazis—merged with a Star of David.

The photo in question was one of several taken over the summer while Musk vacationed with Ari Emmanuel—the CEO of the media agency Endeavor—on the Greek island of Mykonos.

They prompted many to body shame Musk at a time when he was being scrutinized for a highly contentious legal battle with Twitter, which he was ultimately forced to purchase after attempting to back out of a deal to acquire the platform.

Ye and Musk shared a bonkers text exchange shortly before Musk imposed a 12-hour suspension. Just before Ye's account went dark, he posted a photo of the shirtless Musk as his "final tweet."

West's last tweet was just another anti-Semitic shot. The person spraying Musk, Ari Emanuel, a Jew, had called on "Kanye West’s Business Partners to Stop Working With Him". This was West's, oh so clever way, to indicate, yet again, that The Jew is clearly in control

I wouldn’t have guessed. Just woulda admired the physique. What a contrast with flabby, beached-whale Elon.

Ye was openly daring Musk to ban him. He finally struck a nerve.

What about it makes it unflattering?

JK, just pointing out how tough it is to make fun of someone's appearance these days without raising cancellation anxiety. It's exactly the feeling the vast majority of people want to make go away.

Musk's not going to be affected by that picture at all. He actually doesn't look terrible given his age.

Ye is just losing it. That's why he's banned.
