Read our privacy policy Twitter has not commented on the status of Kanye West‘s account amid unverified reports that he’d regained access after weeks of being locked out for posting antisemitic messages earlier this month. “KANYE WEST TWITTER ACCOUNT REINSTATED,” tweeted one user, while sharing a celebratory meme. “Anti-semite Kanye West’s twitter account restored after pro-authoritarian @elonmusk takes over twitter. West used the platform to threaten “death con 3 on Jewish people,’” tweeted Kaivan Shroff, while another punned on the MAGA retort by tweeting: “is Twitter‘s new motto “making antisemitism great again?” West originally got booted from his Twitter account earlier this month for sharing a tweet that declared he was going to go “death con 3” on Jewish people and alleged that he wasn’t “Anti Semitic because black people are actually Jew.” That message, posted on Saturday 8 October, was later deleted by Twitter and replaced with text that said it violated the Twitter Rules, linking back to the company’s platform use guidelines.
