Elon Musk Declares Kanye West Instagram Shade Is A COMPLIMENT

As Kanye West's current Twitter ban continues with his account suspended given his continued antisemitic rants, he's back on Instagram, targeting the man behind Twitter, Elon Musk. Kanye West threw shade at Musk, and then tried to play it out as a compliment, but kept Barack Obama in his crosshairs, and his former fans finally feel that Ye has lost it.
Scroll down to see what Ye's posted and what his once hardcore fans think of him now... Remember to scroll to the very bottom to see Elon's "Chinese twin"!
Elon Musk 'Fixes Ye' By Suspending Twitter Account
According to BBC, Musk was asked by a Twitter user to "fix Kanye", after a series of erratic tweets by the rapper, one of which seemed to show a symbol that combined the swastika and a Jewish star. Musk then tweeted how West had "violated our rule against incitement to violence," and soon after the rapper's Twitter account was suspended.
In fact, Musk even confirmed the same, writing, "Account will be suspended."
I tried my best. Despite that, he again violated our rule against incitement to violence. Account will be suspended.

Last week, West put his foot in his mouth, again, during an interview with US conspiracy theorist Alex Jones. With his face masked, West praised Nazi leader Adolf Hitler and then continued to rant about sin, pornography, and the devil, in no particular order.
His continued antisemitic remarks and behaviors made right-wing social media platform Parler, which describes itself as a "free speech" alternative to mainstream platforms, declare, that West could no longer buy the firm. The statement by Parlement Technologies read: "The company has mutually agreed with Ye to terminate the intent of sale."
Apparently, this got West even madder, and he lashed out on Twitter, resulting in the ban. Now, he's breaking his Instagram silence, throwing shade against Elon Musk as well as former US President, Barack Obama.
Kanye West Calls Musk A Chinese Hybrid Clone?
In another very garbled IG post, West basically called Elon Musk half-Chinese, saying, "Am I the only one who thinks Elon could be half Chinese? Have you ever seen his pics as a child? Take a Chinese genius and mate them with a South African supermodel and we have an Elon."
He continued, now calling Musk a clone, "I say an Elon because they probably made 10 to 30 Elons and he is the first genetic hybrid that stuck…Well, let’s not forget about Obama."
He concluded with, "I’m sorry for using curse words in church but I don’t have another word for Obama yet. Let’s Unify and find out."
In the caption, West hinted that he was conducting an investigation into Musk's childhood photos, saying, "On Jay Zs birthday Future president of the United States Ye uses Mark Zuckerberg’s platform to incite a mass investigation of Elon Musk’s childhood photos in the midst of Balenciagagate I call this The theory of everything Problem solved Praise God."
Given that West was diagnosed with bipolar disorder years ago and has spoken about his challenges with mental health in public, his erstwhile fans feel he has officially lost it, with comments like:
"What the f--k are you saying?"
"Nurse, he's out again and he's Instagramming."
"This is too much for my brain. This is like a deleted script/scene from Inception…"
Note that medical experts have also said that there's nothing in mental health problems that can relate to antisemitism, so the hate or the "love" West keeps talking about, might just be all him.
That said, he still has some fans, obviously from these comments:
"You’re back!! Love to see it! We’re with you, Ye, all the way. Looking forward to everything that’s in store. You look happy and well in all your interviews. Everyone is asking for you to drop your skincare routine 😂🙌 Could we get some of that YE24 merch online for international sales 🙏 We want to show our support worldwide. Also, while you’re here, YZY SHDZ… I would love to purchase a pair."
"Don’t forget that this is the man with the best nine-album run in the history of popular music. Never doubt him."
Elon Musk Feels The 'Chinese' Bit Is A Compliment, Kanye West Agrees
Musk, in the meantime, took the wind out of Ye's sails, calling it a compliment.
Ye posted this very conversation on his Instagram and backtracked, saying, "It was meant as a compliment my friend Now Obama on the other hand….."
Fans felt, "Elon does look part Chinese 😳 now I can’t unsee it" while others wrote, "Having Kanye West active on IG is amazing and so entertaining."
As far as the Chinese Elon Musk goes, you have to look at this!
He's right, this is Elon's twin brother 😄 pic.twitter.com/ciif0dfxFC
