Rapper Kanye West's Twitter profile, which was suspended for posting antisemitic remarks, appeared to be back up on the platform, a day after billionaire Elon Musk took ownership of the social media company following his $44 billion deal. The rapper, now known as Ye, was suspended from Twitter and Meta Platforms' Instagram earlier in October and the platforms removed some of his online posts that users condemned as antisemitic. Twitter did not immediately respond to a request for comment, but Musk later said that West's account was restored before Musk took over at Twitter.

Okay, but he has taken over now, right? So praying Elon will not allow it. Maybe we should all send Elon a tweet, letting him know God's penalty for those who turn their back on Israel. And what is the deal with Kanye West anyway? Don't they all claim to be Christians?

Kanye claims to be a Christian, but the things he says (antisemitic remarks) and the "religious" people he's been hanging out with (Joel Osteen) makes me wonder. I didn't know much about him, but after reading just a little about him, it seems to me he suffers from bi-polar disorder and evidently isn't taking his meds. I pray if he isn't saved that he gets saved and starts taking his meds. Personally, I don't understand how anyone can be a real Christian and believe and say horrible things about the Jews and Israel when Jesus is a Jew who was born and lived in Israel when He was here on earth. The Bible also tells us that when you bless Israel you'll be blessed, but if you curse Israel you'll be cursed too.

I really have to wonder that Elon's end game is with this. Twitter is not exactly a lucrative investment, as online ad dollars have been plunging recently in wake of the impending recession. He has always been a start-up guy and I don't recall him routinely buying established companies outright, let alone one of this value. But Twitter is an invaluable tool for data mining, insight and social engineering.

It is a curious move for sure. Perhaps the Lord is working in putting a pause on Twitter's mode of apparatus..........what I do know is it's going to be interesting to see what comes of this......

Trying to put all the pieces together...
Musk has an idea for an everything app to be named "X".
A friend the founder of Twitter isn't happy with the direction Twitter has gone and starts talking to Musk about buying Twitter.
At some point Musk decides that yes, he could buy Twitter and use it as a start to building out his app X idea.
He makes a generous offer based on the then trading level.
At some point he probably realizes he offered way too much and tries to back out but despite his genius, the agreement he made leaves him without an escape route.
So now he owns the company where most of the employees despise him. He was very smart to send his own engineers in right away and lock current employees out of the code to prevent sabotage. He'll need to have current employees vetted thoroughly and let go where they're too diametrically opposed to his vision.
Unless he names a new CEO whom he can fully trust soon, and let that person run with Musk's vision, this could become a costly distraction to Musk and costly to the other companies that Musk leads.
