Yes, at this point it is clear that Ye is trolling the internet and pushing the limits of free speech. In the process, he is exposing the fickleness of most vehement proponents of free speech.

He has already broken Elon Musk (to quote Scott Adams) whose banning of Ye is not warranted since Ye didn't break the law, and exposed many on the right who supported his ban to be fake in their stance on free speech.

It's amazing what we're witnessing!

I’m not sure he broke Elon. Fixing/reforming Twitter is still in a fragile place, and Ye was too fat of a target for bad actors to use in swaying normies of the “dangers” of free speech.

I view the ban as a “not yet ready” circuit breaker

Can see Ye coming back in a few months after a 'talk' with Elon.

Elon doing a delicate balancing act. Twitter needs advertisers.

Yep. I concluded the the same, and hence Elon suspending Ye is, though unwarranted, but understandable

Ye has a way to bring out parts of people they do not see coming. A gift.

I've never followed anything kanye related. I don't know any of his music. I remember seeing his clothing line on the internet and it reminded me of burlap sackcloth. As an outsider to all things Ye, he seems like a kook.
