In February, Friends actor David Schwimmer called on Musk to ban Kanye West from X after he made a series of antisemitic posts.
Schwimmer called on Musk, the owner of X, to remove West from the platform.
“This is so 2022,” said Schwimmer. “We can’t stop a deranged bigot from spewing hate-filled, ignorant bile… but we CAN stop giving him a megaphone, Mr Musk.”
Bold of Schwimmer to assume Musk in any way disagrees with Ye's views.
Elon is not just holding the megaphone, he's actively cranking up the volume dial.
He should come to Germany and do that here and then we can hear from him from prison for the next 12 months and he will be banned from performing here for the next decade.
The detail I enjoyed most about this is that he had fewer than 220 followers at the time of the ban. This suggests that in order for any details on this incident to have got out at all, a decent percentage of his fans in 2025 are actually just journalists waiting for him to do something stupid they can get an article out of.
legit conversation on my friend discord last night
hey did everyone see Kanye was on twitch?
no, I didnt know that, why'd they let him go on?
oh it wasnt very long, he was only on there for like 10 minutes before he got banned for yelling heil hitler
oh...
Kanye skipped the lolcow phase and went straight to the horrorcow one.
Superbowl ad of the guy lying in a dentist chair high on nitrious going "Umm, umm, umm" for 40 seconds. the kind of shit thats so stupid you cant look away from.
Last month, West made a video featuring him posing in a diamond-encrusted swastika necklace next to infamous white supremacist Nick Fuentes.
I have a good friend who is a jeweler, and loves getting an expensive custom job, which this had to be. You dont just pick up a "diamond-encrusted swastika" at Jared. I wondered what my buddy would do if he was offered such a commission.
And I realized that he'd take it, not because his politics (or musical taste) are in alignment, but I know that he would say "If he wants to pay me a ridiculous amount of money to help him make an idiot of himself in front of the entire world, who am I to deny him?"
Now the fact that he did Graduation is no longer said to exculpate his madness, but with resignation and shame. "This... guy is the same who made my favorite album..."
As much as I hate Bezos, ik he's not as brave as Musk to be pissing his money down the drain like that. He ain't turned twitch into a state propaganda machine unlike Elon. If he did that on twatter musk wouldve done fuckall.
