In another tweet, Kanye wrote, "Jesus is King, I love the first amendment! Long live, Ye! I pray to Jesus that Elon is for real." To which Musk responded, "Jesus taught love, kindness and forgiveness. I used to think that turning the other cheek was weak & foolish, but I was the fool for not appreciating its profound wisdom."

Meanwhile, the Chief Twit tweeted on Kanye's tweet with the image of a Nazi swastika inside a Star of David, "This is Not," indicating it is not right to tweet contents of this type. Musk has been an advocate of free speech on Twitter. He had purchased Twitter for $44 Billion to reduce moderation on the platform to the minimum.



 

However, Musk has continued its ban on Alex Jones and his Info Wars website. He said about the ban, "I have no mercy for anyone who would use the deaths of children for gain, politics, or fame." Jones claimed that the 2012 Sandy Hook elementary school shooting was a hoax. Kanye's suspension happened at a point where he also appeared on Jones's podcast on Thursday, December 1, and claimed, "I see good things about Hitler… Every human being has something of value that they brought to the table, especially Hitler.” He further added on the podcast, "They did good things too. We gotta stop dissing the Nazis all the time. I love Jewish people, but I also love Nazis.” He then went on to explain, “There’s a lot of things that I love about Hitler. A lot of things," reported The Guardian.
