Twitter, now called X, reinstates Kanye West's account

The social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, reinstated rapper Kanye West on Saturday, about eight months after his account was suspended for posting antisemitic comments.

Last December, West, who performs under the name Ye, posted an image that appeared to show a swastika interlaced with a Star of David, prompting X owner Elon Musk to suspend the artist from the platform.

Musk at the time labeled West's post an "incitement to violence."
