Jack Dunn “Friends” star David Schwimmer asked Elon Musk to ban Kanye West from X after the rapper posted a series of antisemitic tweets on the platform Friday. “We can’t stop a deranged bigot from spewing hate filled, ignorant bile… but we CAN stop giving him a megaphone, Mr.

Musk,” Schwimmer wrote on Instagram. “Kanye West has 32.7 million followers on your platform, X. That’s twice as many people than the number of Jews in existence.

His sick hate speech results in REAL LIFE violence against Jews.” West’s flurry of tweets included remarks like “I’m a Nazi” and “I love Hitler.” West went on to say that he is “never apologizing for my Jewish comments.” In the hours that followed, the Anti-Defamation League, a non-governmental organization dedicated to fighting antisemitism, condemned the rant as “a flagrant and unequivocal display of hate.” “We know this game all too well,” Jonathan A.

Greenblatt, CEO of the Anti-Defamation League, said in an official statement. “Let’s call Ye’s hate-filled public rant for what it really is: a sad attempt for attention that uses Jews as a scapegoat.
