SAN FRANSISCO, CALIFORNIA: Bella Thorne dubbed Elon Musk ‘very cool’ as she supported Musk’s decision to suspend Kanye West’s, now known as Ye, Twitter account. The 25-year-old actress, who is said to be very close to the new Twitter CEO, stated that she supports his decision to remove Kanye from the microblogging site after a series of antisemitic postings. She told TMZ, “Elon’s a very cool and a very nice guy. I honestly think if that is what free speech is then f*** free speech. Nobody should have the right to say the s*** [Kanye’s] posting right now. So I think f*** yeah Elon.”
Kanye was recently banned from Twitter for the second time after he tweeted an image of a swastika blended with a star of David. The post came less than two weeks after Musk reinstated him to the platform. “I tried my best. Despite that, he again violated our rule against incitement to violence. Account will be suspended,” Musk tweeted while announcing the suspension. The tweet was published on the same day Kanye appeared on ‘Infowars’ with white nationalist Nick Fuentes and lauded Adolf Hitler.
“I see good things about Hitler … Every human being has something of value that they brought to the table, especially Hitler,” Kanye reportedly said. When the host Alex Jones said, “The Nazis were thugs,” Kanye responded back by saying, “But they did good things too. We gotta stop dissing the Nazis all the time. I love Jewish people. But I also love Nazis.” Jones then said, “I don’t think Hitler was a good guy,” to which Kanye replied, “There’s a lot of things that I love about Hitler. A lot of things.”
Ye’s Twitter and Instagram accounts were earlier blocked in October thanks to the backlash his antisemitic comments generated. As a result, a number of businesses severed connections with him, including Adidas, Balenciaga, and the renowned talent agency CAA. Meanwhile, Bella’s latest comment comes after, according to TMZ, the SpaceX CEO attended a holiday party in Beverly Hills hosted by Bella in October. Musk attended the event with his ex-wife Justine Wilson. Both appeared in good spirits as they smiled and posed for the cameras before the two hopped in a Tesla and drove off.
