The feud between Kanye West (Ye) and Elon Musk took to another level on Sunday after the disgraced rapper launched a bizarre rambling Instagram post attacking the Twitter boss as a “half-chines genetic hybrid.”
Musk shot back in a tweet mocking the antisemitic rapper’s latest attack as a “compliment”.
The war of words broke out after Musk suspended West from Twitter for posting a Nazi symbol inside the Star of David in what marks the latest in a growing list of antisemitic actions from the rapper.
In his Sunday tirade, West also took aim at former president Barack Obama, referring to an outrageous conspiracy theory that he is a clone of an Egyptian pharaoh.
“Am I the only one who thinks Elon could be half-Chinese? Have you ever seen his pics as a child? Take a Chinese genius and mate them with a South African super model and we have an Elon,” West wrote.
“I say an Elon because they probably made 10 to 30 Elon’s and he’s the first genetic hybrid that stuck… Well, let’s not forget about Obama.”
He continued: “I’m sorry for using curse words in church but I don’t have another word for Obama yet.”
Hours later, the billionaire tech responded in a tweet, writing: “I take that as a compliment!”
I take that as a compliment!
