In February, Kanye West said he was disconnected from X and his account had disappeared for a few days, without anyone knowing if he had been banned or if he had disabled him. Shortly before, he had published anti -Semitic messages like « I love Hitler », and had supported rapper Sean Combs, also called P. Diddy, currently tried in New York in a large matter of sex trafficking.
Since he bought Twitter at the end of 2022, Elon Musk has decided toallow hateful words And disinformation on the site, renamed X. The richest man in the world is thus as a defender of freedom of expression, but his criticisms accuse him of promoting the expression of his own political convictions.
The boss of Tesla and SpaceX became in the American presidential campaign of 2024 a close ally of Donald Trump, devoting 277 million dollars of his personal fortune to support the republican candidate and his party.
