Elon Musk has thrown two more controversy points into the flaming pile of disagreements that Twitter has been since his takeover. Shortly after restoring Donald Trump’s Twitter account, Musk unbanned the accounts of Kanye West (now Ye) and Andrew Tate. “Testing… Testing… Seeing if my Twitter is unblocked," Kanye tweeted. Musk replied: “Don’t kill what ye hate… Save what ye love". On the other hand, Tate tweeted, “I’ve decided to fly to the failed state of California, walk into twitter HQ and tell @elonmusk he’s a legend. On my way."
Kanye’s account had been banned in October after he posted a tweet about going “death con 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE". Tate, who has been severely criticised for his incendiary and misogynistic commentary on the Internet, had been banned from Twitter in 2017. He was also removed from Instagram, Facebook and TikTok earlier this year. The two were among other people whose Twitter accounts were reinstated, like Jordan Peterson, Kathy Griffin and Babylon Bee.

The return of Kanye West and Andrew Tate, both of whom have received massive backlash in the recent months, caused an uproar among Twitter users.

Elon welcoming back Kanye with open arms after the rapper spent the last month going on antisemitic tirades and reporting came out about his years-long obsession with Hitler, and Kanye immediately getting back to antisemitic trolling.

Donald Trump, Jordan Peterson, Kanye West and Andrew Tate have all been unbanned from Twitter thanks to Elon Musk.This isn’t about free speech - this is about violent men having platforms where they can spread hatred and influence the next generation of young boys and men.— Kaleidoscope News (@kaleidoscope_au) November 20, 2022
