Actor David Schwimmer has criticized Twitter owner Elon Musk for allowing rapper Kanye West to make more “hate-filled” antisemitic statements on his platform X. Schwimmer, who was previously banned from the site, claims that Musk is giving West a megaphone and allowing him to spread hate speech.
Schwimmer pointed out that West has 32.7 million followers, which is twice the number of Jews in existence. He cited specific posts made by West, including those that claimed Jewish people “hate white people” and “I love Hitler”. Schwimmer said that the fact that Musk hasn’t banned West from X despite previous warnings shows a lack of outrage.
In December 2022, Musk banished West after he posted an image of a swastika with a Star of David. However, this time around, Musk has failed to take action against West’s recent rants. West even claimed that Musk was allowing him to spread his “fuckery” and praised the billionaire as a “real n—-” for giving him a platform.
Schwimmer ended his post by saying “silence is complicity”, implying that Musk should be held accountable for not taking stronger action against West’s hate speech.
