The Twitter account of Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, appears to be reactivated Friday morning following Elon Musk's takeover of the site.

Twitter locked the rapper's account earlier this month after an antisemitic post that threated Jewish people.

Musk has not yet commented on Ye's account status, but the last time the artist appeared on Twitter after a hiatus, Musk wrote, "Welcome back to Twitter, my friend!"

Ye's reactivated account is one of the bold changes that have transpired in the hours since Musk bought the company Thursday night. After making Twitter a private company, Musk also fired the CEO, chief financial officer and the company's top lawyer signaling a new era for the social media site.

"The reason I acquired Twitter is because it is important to the future of civilization to have a common digital town square, where a wide range of beliefs can be debated in a healthy manner," Musk wrote on Twitter Thursday night.

He added that Twitter would not become a "free-for-all hellscape where anything can be said with no consequences." But Musk also said he wanted the platform to offer a "desired experience" based on users' preferences, similar to the choices offered in movies and video games.

Many have questioned whether Musk's vision will include lifting the account ban of former President Donald Trump, who was permanently suspended after the capitol insurrection.

In a Truth Social post on Friday, Trump wrote, "I am very happy that Twitter is now in sane hands, and will no longer be run by Radical Left Lunatics and Maniacs." Vijaya Gadde, the top Twitter lawyer fired by Musk, played a key role in deciding to ban Trump from the platform.

As of Friday early afternoon, Ye has not yet posted on Twitter.

His Instagram account had also been restricted by parent-company, Meta, earlier this month. Upon his return to the site on Thursday, Ye posted, "I lost 2 billion dollars in one day and I'm still alive."

The biggest mistake in American politics was the notion that the ignorance of the right should be treated with equal respect and dignity as the knowledge of the left (or really anyone who isn't a far-right delusional nutjob).

That kind of bullshit is what leads to giving ignorant assholes like Kanye or Trump as big a platform to spew their garbage as genuinely educated and knowledgeable individuals.

Wasn't that what Twitter itself was supposed to be? I thought it used to be liberal. Isn't that why Truth Social got created? The conservatives already have Truth Social. They don't need to corrupt Twitter

But they have been corrupting all the liberal media outlets. Like CNN whwn they already had several news networks that cater to conservatives. Their plan is to have conservatives own every liberal media outlet so that all that exists is conservative media

Because when he originally started talking about buying Twitter he was talking about protecting free speech and unbanning Trump once he took over.

If I was Pelosis husband I would have shot the intruder.. snorted a viagra.. and then made sweet love to Pelosi.

Otherwise as a bystander.. yup. Thoughts and prayers.. maybe a gift certificate for some firearms training.

No one is corrupting CNN. WB wants make it more straight news like BBC. Heavily biased news one way or the other is not really a good thing. Especially one that also has low credibility.

https://www.nytimes.com/2022/10/28/technology/kanye-ye-twitter-ban.html

The ban on the Twitter account used by Ye, the rapper and fashion designer formerly known as Kanye West, was not lifted by the company this week, despite reports circulating widely on Friday that it was. His account was never banned in the first place.

Twitter took a different action two weeks ago, restricting his account after he posted an antisemitic tweet. It also removed the offending message.
Restricted accounts cannot post or interact on the platform, but remain visible on the service, including past tweets that did not violate the companys rules. A ban or suspension means the account and its tweets are entirely removed.

Kanye was never banned, his account was restricted, which makes it still visible but he can't interact w/ anyone. Same thing w/ the Babylon Bee account. Stop spreading misinformation please!

Known Trump fan? Fuck are you talking about? There is no proof he is a Republican or Trump supporter and all his donations have been to Democrats over the years.
