Elon Musk's Twitter recommends users follow Kanye West if they want to know more about "The Jews"

Twitter Recommends Ye as Top Follow on ‘The Jews’ as Company Does Mass Layoffs

By Jason Koebler



“The Jews” is trending on Twitter, and its algorithm has selected Ye as a “Top” person to follow while Elon Musk fires roughly half of the company’s staff, including many of its policy experts and content moderators.

Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, recently had his Twitter access limited after saying he would go “death con 3” on “JEWISH PEOPLE,” and has been dropped by the vast majority of his business partners after repeatedly making blatantly antisemitic comments over the last few weeks. The freeze on Ye's account has since been lifted.

"#IStandWithKyrie" is also trending, a reference to Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving, who recently recommended that people watch an antisemitic documentary and was suspended for five games after declining to apologize and evasively answering a question on whether he holds "anti-semitic beliefs."

Nobody even mentions that Kayne's an idiot for confusing "Defcon" with "Death Con" because the intent of his message was so awful.

Podcast Ultra. I'd never heard the story before. But this is how they used celebrities to spread the hate. This is intentional, deliberate, and systematic. This is christo-fascism.

… deep into the US Congress. Gawd. I knew there was a streak of madness in our country’s makeup, but this goes deep into Trump territory.

It's just not good business, not profitable, to advertise on a platform that pulls this kinda shit. And without that ad money, Elon goes bust. He's on the hook for $1,000,000,000 a year in interest alone.
