Parlement Technologies, the parent company of Parler, confirmed the breakup of the acquisition deal in the wake of West’s appearance on InfoWars, which featured more spasms of unfiltered antisemitism. The transaction had been slated to close before the end of 2022.post, Parlement said it had “mutually agreed with Ye to terminate the intent of sale of Parler. This decision was made in the interest of both parties in mid-November.
West’s InfoWars appearance came after a period of weeks when he has been dropped by sponsors and entertainment partners for his repeated antisemitic outbursts, and banned by Instagram and Twitter. Under the more anything-goes ownership of Musk, Twitter welcomed him back. West has 32.2 million followers on Twitter, which made his appearance on Alex Jones’ InfoWars show all the more troubling given the level of visibility. He wore gloves and a black ski mask with a zipper zipped down over his face, spewed antisemitic conspiracy theories and professed his admiration for Adolf Hitler and Nazis. Even Jones seemed startled and half-heartedly pushed back at times. “CNN says white people are evil Nazis,” the host said.
