Just hours after praising Hitler and Nazis in an Infowars interview, Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, took to Twitter to share a photo of a swastika embedded in a Star of David.

“YE24 LOVE EVERYONE #LOVESPEECH”, he captioned the tweet containing the symbol, which appeared to be a 2024 presidential campaign logo.

Shortly after, Ye posted a screenshot of a text message from Twitter CEO Elon Musk telling him, “Sorry, but you have gone too far.”

“This is not love,” Musk added.

Ye shot back at Musk, “who made you the judge?”

Ye apparently departed Twitter with a final post including a photo of Musk with Endeavor CEO Ari Emanuel and stating, “Let’s always remember this as my final tweet #ye24.”

During the Infowars interview, Ye made antisemitic remarks in reference to Emanuel.
