Elon Musk says he expressed ‘concerns’ to Kanye West about anti-Semitic tweet
Elon Musk, who’s attempting to buy Twitter, revealed that he spoke to Kanye West about the anti-Semitic tweet that got him suspended from the platform over the weekend.
“Talked to ye today & expressed my concerns about his recent tweet, which I think he took to heart,” the tech mogul, 51, tweeted on Monday.
Musk – who has built a friendship with West, 45, over the years – previously welcomed the “Gold Digger” rapper back to the platform on Saturday shortly after Instagram suspended his account for anti-Semitic posts the night prior.
West hopping on Twitter marked the first time he’s utilized the app since November 2020, around the time he went on a tirade against ex-wife Kim Kardashian and her mom, Kris Jenner.
Musk is just one of many celebrities who have addressed West’s behavior amid ongoing backlash for the controversial posts.
Actor Morgan Spector exclusively told Page Six that he thought of West’s “violent” remarks as a way for him to draw attention to himself as he has an “instinct for bulls–t drama.”
Fellow songwriter John Legend sarcastically commented on how West, a “free, independent thinker,” could still “land at the same old anti blackness and anti semitism.”
Meanwhile, Jamie Lee Curtis pleaded with West via Twitter to “please stop,” because his “words hurt and incite violence.” The “Halloween” star added in an interview on the “Today” show that she “burst into tears” over the comments.
The “Flashing Lights” rapper has yet to address or respond to the tweet.
