    From the article:

    In February, Friends actor David Schwimmer called on Musk to ban Kanye West from X after he made a series of antisemitic posts.

    Schwimmer called on Musk, the owner of X, to remove West from the platform. “This is so 2022,” said Schwimmer. “We can’t stop a deranged bigot from spewing hate-filled, ignorant bile… but we CAN stop giving him a megaphone, Mr Musk.”

    Bold of Schwimmer to assume Musk in any way disagrees with Ye’s views.

    Elon is not just holding the megaphone, he’s actively cranking up the volume dial.

      I find it strange that David Schwimmer made a public plea for decency when it was about anti-semitism but not for any of the rest of the hateful shit projectile-blasted around that echo chamber.

          He’s also rich and Jewish, probably doesn’t give a fuck about any injustice unless it’s antisemitism.

            Unless he’s puling a Seinfeld when I wasn’t looking, I’ll reserve that judgement for another day.
