David Schwimmer Slams Elon Musk Over Kanye West’s Antisemitic Twitter Rants

by

After being escorted off the Grammy’s red carpet following an incident involving his wife’s nudity, Kanye West has been a divisive figure on social media like X/Twitter. The controversy has escalated in the days since the event, with a seemingly endless stream of contentious remarks. Recently, West’s tweets have been alleged to be antisemitic, with him referring to himself as a “Nazi” and making numerous derogatory comments about members of the Jewish community. In his latest post, West wrote, “The Jews claim to be so oppressed then try to oppress me and Elon’s freedom of speech.” This is only the latest chapter in the rapper’s tumultuous and widely publicized relationship with the Jewish community.

David Schwimmer, renowned for his character Ross Geller on the popular sitcom “Friends,” has been one of the notable figures advocating for Elon Musk to cease amplifying Kanye West’s anti-Semitic remarks. In an Instagram post, Schwimmer urged Musk to deny West a platform for spreading hateful and ignorant rhetoric. His full message reads: “We can’t prevent a bigoted madman from spewing vile, uninformed garbage… but we CAN stop providing him with a megaphone, Mr. Musk.” You can view Schwimmer’s complete post below.

Kanye West Vs Hollywood

Schwimmer’s Instagram post, generating much attention for its strong stance against West, isn’t an isolated instance. Numerous celebrities are vocalizing their disapproval and urging Musk to intervene. Even Piers Morgan, a former judge on America’s Got Talent now turned news anchor, has voiced his concern on X, inquiring why West remains active on the platform. His comment can be found below.

A well-known figure, Meghan McCain (former host of The View), has joined the fray opposing West. After West’s controversial tweets about Jewish people, women, and marginalized groups, she declared, “Kanye West is a truly malevolent individual.” Jimmy Kimmel, a late-night host, expressed concern over some of West’s seemingly unstable actions, suggesting that Will Smith should atone for his Oscars slap by confronting West. However, not all are hostile towards West, as certain celebrities have found themselves in the crosshairs without any direct involvement.

Recently, Ariana Grande has been making appearances on multiple red carpets thanks to her work in “Wicked” and the nominations for her acting performance. However, rapper Kanye West made a comment about her physical appearance on social media that did not sit well with many people. In his tweet, he wrote, “Ariana Grande needs to eat. She looks like she hasn’t seen a meal in years.” As of now, Ariana has not responded to these hurtful words, but the criticism continues to grow for Kanye West, and he shows no signs of stopping his list of complaints on the platform.
