Musk later clarified that Ye's account has been suspended for incitement to violence, not for posting the image of Musk. "Just clarifying that his account is being suspended for incitement to violence, not an unflattering pic of me being hosed by Ari. Frankly, I found those pics to be helpful motivation to lose weight," he tweeted.

Ye's suspension follows a wave of reinstatements of previously banned accounts, including that of Donald Trump, Kathy Griffin, Jordan Peterson, Babylon Bee, and Ye himself, who was banned before for posting antisemitic tweets. Musk originally said no account reinstatements will happen before a "content moderation council with widely diverse viewpoints" is formed, but then went ahead and reinstated Trump's account following a Twitter poll.
