Twitter Recommends Ye as Top Follow on The Jews as Company Does Mass LayoffsBy 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 companys 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."

(1,204 posts)Nobody even mentions that Kayne's an idiot for confusing "Defcon" with "Death Con" because the intent of his message was so awful.

(20,747 posts)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.

(4,762 posts)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.
