Kanye West Deactivates Twitter Amid Backlash Over Controversial Tweets

Kanye West's Twitter account was deactivated by Elon Musk following a series of anti-Semitic, misogynistic, and racist comments that culminated in a tirade during the Super Bowl. West expressed gratitude to Musk for allowing him to vent, but his account was classified as NSFW due to the hateful content he posted, including declaring himself a Nazi and making derogatory remarks about Jewish individuals. The backlash was swift, with calls from various celebrities, including David Schwimmer, urging for West's permanent ban from the platform. West's recent behavior has reignited discussions about the responsibility of social media platforms in moderating hate speech, especially given his large following. Despite the controversy, West indicated he was in a good mental space, describing his outbursts as cathartic. The fate of his account—whether it's permanently or temporarily disabled—remains unclear as fans await his upcoming album release.
