Elon Musk, Twitter's new CEO, said Friday, that he had suspended Kanye West's Twitter account due to violating Twitter community guidelines with a tweet - now deleted - which featured a swastika. 

The Daily Mail reported that Kanye posted an image on Twitter featuring a Nazi swastika inside the Star of David, after appearing on Alex Jones' show and saying he likes Hitler. 

"I tried my best. Despite that, he again violated our rule against incitement to violence. Account will be suspended," Musk tweeted. 

Yesterday, during an interview with conspiracy theorist Alex Jones on his platform Infowars, Ye, wearing a black mask completely covering his face, said he likes Adolf Hitler, the leader of Nazi Germany whose regime cost the lives of millions.

"I like Hitler," Ye told Jones. "I love Jewish people, but I also love Nazis."

Even though West hid his face, there seemed no doubt it was him. 

This comes in light of recent accusations held against the rapper over "racist and anti-semitic remarks", which caused him to lose deals with Adidas, Balenciaga, Gap, Footlocker, and other brands. 

Ye further said he did not like the adjective “evil” to refer to Nazis, stressing that every human being has something of value, "especially Hitler".
