Ask and YE shall receive.
Kanye West, AKA Ye, had his account reinstated on Twitter along with several other controversial figures this week as Elon Musk continues his Twitter overhaul. For the past few weeks, Kanye has been making quite a stir in the entertainment sector for tweets and comments many saw as antisemitic.
At first, his return to Twitter looked like it was going to go fairly smoothly and just be amusing.

Don’t kill what ye hate
Save what ye love— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) November 20, 2022
We like the entertainment value of that exchange and many people were already losing their minds over even that innocent interaction, and then Kanye decided to tweet one single word that sent many users over the edge.

Some did find it amusing and there were tons of LOLs but most were either shocked or ready to paint Musk with the same antisemitic brush they had already painted Ye with.
One cute Tweet doesn’t unwind all of the antisemitic vitriol you spouted in the past 60 days. I listened to your interviews. Your opinions are vile. There is no redemption. https://t.co/6MI3qFABO9

So many accounts have been threatening to leave Twitter since Musk took over, but this user who obviously found putting in a profile photo to be too demanding decided that Shalom was the last straw for them.
Shalom also means “good-bye” https://t.co/fNtZZeAxMJ

Indeed it does and many Twitter users exclaimed they would be saying goodbye to Twitter.
Since @Kanyewest's anti-Semitic tweetstorm, there have been two major terrorist attack plots vs. Jewish communities in New York and New Jersey.
He might think he's being funny but what he's doing is very, very dangerous. @Kanyewest is going to get someone killed https://t.co/It1FBcpz5c

Do we agree that West’s comments could be viewed as antisemitism, we do. Do we think it was his intention? We are not positive, but one thing we do know for certain, those who plot and participate in violence against any community or individual make those choices all on their own and they are responsible for their own actions. Kanye is only responsible for himself.
He’s taunting us. Zero remorse. He’s learned nothing. https://t.co/R37PpQxRz8

The sound you hear is six million bluechecks screaming in rage and terror as they board the cattle cars to Mastodon. https://t.co/PhTwZhTH5L

OH NO! Do you mean some people may leave Twitter and go to another social media platform? Well ok, bye. We will miss them as much as we missed @CBSnews and we feel pretty certain most of them will return within 24 hours just as CBS did. You can read all about that hilariousness here. 🙂
It’s all a big game for him. Grotesque. https://t.co/JJ4Nrh6QRc

It’s all a fu(king joke to Kanye — Antisemitism is not a fu(king joke. https://t.co/dK4TkHMg1q

So @elonmusk reinstates fellow narcissists @kanyewest and @realDonaldTrump because he clearly supports stupidity, willful ignorance, lying, racism and bigotry. You're doing a crackup job @elonmusk 👏👏👏👏 destroying your already quivering reputation, noone takes you seriously. https://t.co/TCwWfesQun

That user was so riled up they even had the nerve to type out He Who Must Not Be Named (aka Trump) along with Mr. West and Mr. Musk.
You are free to defend Kanye, Trump, and Musk or not but no matter what you may think about Twitter since Elon has taken it over, we can say without a doubt it is NOT BORING! Catch you all in the Wild West of social media also known as Twitter!
