Kanye West is no stranger to controversy, but his recent Twitter spree seemed to hit new heights. The rapper praised Adolf Hitler, called for Diddy to be released from prison, and even dissed the late Virgil Abloh. The result? A flood of backlash and a notable reduction in followers, including Elon Musk.
Elon Musk unfollowed Kanye on Twitter amidst this digital chaos. Musk himself is no stranger to controversy, facing fallout from an antisemitism scandal of his own. Despite Musk’s strong stance on free speech, the move to unfollow Kanye was a noteworthy decision.
Kanye’s response to Musk’s unfollowing was as unpredictable as ever. He tweeted, “Elon unfollowed me so I’m not sure how much longer I’ll be on twitter / X If I’m taken off go to,” adding a link to the Yeezy website to his cryptic message.
In the mix, Friends actor David Schwimmer didn’t hold back his thoughts, calling out Musk for letting Kanye remain on Twitter. Schwimmer highlighted the danger of Kanye’s influence, pointing out that his 32.7 million followers and hateful messages could have grave real-world consequences.
Musk, on the other hand, has been vocal about his commitment to free speech. He previously emphasized, “I think it’s important to have a freedom of speech platform where people from a wide range can express their views.” However, Schwimmer’s words bring to light the ongoing debate between free speech and social responsibility.
The clash between Kanye West and Elon Musk on social media underscores the ongoing tension between free speech and responsibility online.
