Kanye West returned to Twitter, but Musk claims he played no part in that.

Elon Musk, the owner of Twitter, claimed on Friday that he had no part in the reinstatement of rapper Kanye West's account, which had been suspended earlier this month after posting anti-Semitic comments.

The billionaire claimed that before the social media platform's $44 billion takeover was finalized late on Thursday, Twitter had reinstated the account of the rapper, who is now known as Ye. Musk claimed in a tweet that "they did not consult with or inform me."

Ye, who has more than 30 million Twitter followers, has courted controversy in recent months by publicly terminating significant corporate partnerships and making outbursts against other celebrities on social media.

Ye posted on Twitter for the first time in two years on October 8 after his Instagram account was suspended due to anti-Semitic comments. Musk responded with the message "Welcome back to Twitter, my friend!" at that time. Later, Twitter deleted one of his posts and locked his account.
