Kanye West, pictured in 2020, has seen his commercial relationships crumble after a series of anti-Semitic commentsElon Musk kicked Kanye West off Twitter on Friday"for incitement to violence," after the rapper posted a picture that appeared to show a swastika interlaced with a Star of David.
In response, Musk said:"Just clarifying that his account is being suspended for incitement to violence, not an unflattering pic of me." However, Jones addressed him as West as they spoke, Infowars billed the interview as being with West, and at one point Jones took West's cellphone and posted a tweet on his account that appeared in real-time.
Alex Jones, who has made a career out of outlandish opinions, spoke to West for three hours in an astonishing livestream"But they did good things too. We gotta stop dissing the Nazis all the time... I love Nazis," West said. Paris fashion house Balenciaga and US clothing retailer Gap also ended ties with West, who appeared at a Paris fashion show wearing a shirt with the slogan"White Lives Matter," a rebuke to the Black Lives Matter racial equality movement.West appeared on Infowars alongside Nick Fuentes, the same white supremacist with whom West had dinner last week at former president Donald Trump's Florida estate, in a meeting that provoked outrage.
