Elon Musk has responded after Kanye West declared him to be a "half Chinese genetic hybrid" in his latest social media tirade.
West, 45, has been making headlines for many reasons lately, most recently for being banned from Twitter again after violating the rule against incitement to violence.
Twitter was purchased by Musk, 51, for $44 billion, and he quickly restored several accounts that had previously been banned, including West's.
The rapper was banned previously for tweeting antisemitic content, where he stated he was going to go "death con 3" on Jewish people.
Musk gave the Grammy winner a second chance. Still, after making a number of antisemitic comments on interview shows, and tweeting an image of a swastika superimposed over the Star of David, he was removed again.
Now, the rapper has taken to Instagram to post a bizarre claim that he believes Musk could be a half-Chinese "genetic hybrid".
In the post, he states: "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 a with South African supermodel and we have an Elon."
"I say an Elon because they probably made 10 to 30 Elons and he is the first genetic hybrid that stuck... Well let's not forget about Obama," he continued.
Musk has since responded to the Instagram post, stating: "I take that as a compliment!"
The rapper took a screenshot of the business magnate's response and said on Instagram: "It was meant as a compliment, my friend. Now Obama on the other hand…"
West recently announced his candidacy for president in 2024, after appearing in a video alongside alt-right commentator Milo Yiannopoulos.
However, the presidential hopeful caused outrage once again, after recently appearing alongside conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, saying: "Every human being has a value that they brought to the table, especially Hitler."
During the same interview, the rapper launched an attack on Planned Parenthood, alleging it was involved in "New World Order population eugenics that is happening to this date."
