Kanye West's Twitter account appears to have been unblocked after free-speech advocate Elon Musk took over the social media platform.
Rapper West was suspended from Twitter earlier this month after posting comments that many people deemed antisemitic.
However, mere hours after Musk completed his $44 billion purchase of the platform and fired its top executives, it looks like West is back online.
Though West is still yet to tweet anything since his ban was lifted, the 'Stronger' artist's old tweets are once again visible to read.
If Musk is behind the reinstatement of West's account, then this is just the latest in a string of controversial moves by the Tesla boss since he finalized his deal to purchase Twitter.
According to a report by Sky News, the Space X founder began his leadership by reportedly firing top executives, including CEO Parag Agrawal, chief financial officer Ned Segal, and legal affairs and policy chief Vijaya Gadde.
Musk claims the top executives misled him over the number of spam accounts on Twitter. It has also been reported that Agrawal and Segal were in the company's San Francisco head office when the deal closed - and that they were escorted out of the building.
Meanwhile, newly crowned Twitter boss Musk celebrated his takeover fittingly with a tweet. "The bird is free," he wrote to his 110.5 million followers.
He also changed his Twitter bio to "Chief Twit" and marked his location as "Twitter HQ".
As for West, social media platforms aren't the only ones to take action against him after his problematic social media activity.
On Tuesday (October 25), Adidas announced via a statement on its website that the company was ending its partnership with the hip-hop star and dubbed his comments: "unacceptable, hateful, and dangerous".
The sportswear giant said: "Adidas does not tolerate antisemitism and any other sort of hate speech. Ye's recent comments and actions have been unacceptable, hateful, and dangerous, and they violate the company's values of diversity and inclusion, mutual respect and fairness."
