Musk said on Friday (AEDT) that Ye’s Twitter account was being suspended as he had again violated rules against incitement to violence. That announcement came after a Parler spokesperson said that the rapper’s deal for Parler collapsed in mid-November.
The social media service,owned by Parlement Technologies,did not specify why.
“Parlement Technologies has confirmed that the company has mutually agreed with Ye to terminate the intent of sale of Parler,” a company spokesperson said in a statement. She added that Parler would “continue to pursue future opportunities for growth and the evolution of the platform for our vibrant community”.
Ye could not immediately be reached for comment.
In October,Ye said he would use Parler to ensure that conservative voices were heard. “In a world where conservative opinions are considered to be controversial,we have to make sure we have the right to freely express ourselves.”
Since then,he has continued to push anti-Semitic messages. Several fashion brands,including Adidas,have severed deals with him because of those posts.
