After becoming "Chief Twit" of Twitter, Elon Musk has reinstated Kanye West's Twitter account, and also reinstated former U.S. President Donald Trump's Twitter account.
With eyes on the two, West has apparently made good on his promise to run for president in 2024, and that he has launched his first campaign ad.
Posted to his Twitter account, the Thanksgiving spot features video and audio from Ye’s interview with Fox News’ Tucker Carlson, who mentioned West as "one of the best-selling musical artists in the world," "a celebrated and very highly paid fashion designer," and "a Christian evangelist."
Narration from that segment leads the way through a narrative of victimhood, charting the personal and professional fallout of Ye after he made a series of anti-Semitic remarks and used a shirt that read "White Lives Matter".
"The response from the fashion industry and international media was instantaneous and uniform: shock, horror, rage," Carlson said, before editing in celebrity and peer responses from the likes of 50 Cent, Fat Joe and Dave Chappelle.
"Strikingly missing from the coverage, however, was any explanation for why West did this. What was the T-Shirt about? No one seemed to ask him, much less listen to what he had to say," Carlson said. "Instead the enemies of his ideas dismissed West, as they have for years as mentally ill."
First time at Mar-a-Lago
Rain and traffic
Can’t believe I kept President Trump waiting
And I had on jeans Yikes
What you guys think his response was when I asked him to be my running mate in 2024?— ye (@kanyewest) November 23, 2022

The ad then ends with the word "ye24" on a blue backdrop.
Kanye West previously said that he intends to run for U.S. president in 2024, despite facing several scandals over his recent behavior.
He also said that he have asked Donald Trump to be his Vice President.
West's claims were made after he was spotted at Trump's Mar-A-Lago golf club, accompanied by Nick Fuentes, a prominent white nationalist.
According to West, his request for a running mate left the Trump, who has only launched his own re-election campaign, "most perturbed".
"I think the thing Trump was most perturbed about [was] me asking him to be my vice president," Ye said in the video. "I think that was lower on the list of things that caught him off guard."
"Trump started basically screaming at me at the table, telling me I'm going to lose. Has that ever worked for anyone in history?" stated West in a video titled Mar-A-Lago Debrief.
Trump referred West as a "troubled man" in a post on his Truth Social account:
"He shows up with 3 people, two of which I didn’t know, the other a political person who I haven’t seen in years. I told him don’t run for office, a total waste of time, can’t win. Fake News went CRAZY!"
The former President also fired at Wests accusing the rapper of betraying and ambushing him by inviting Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes to their private dinner.
"He tried to f--- me. He’s crazy. He can’t beat me," Trump said.
According to reports, Trump accepted West's inquiry to meet him, assuming that it was a private dinner with Ye after weeks of phone conversations between the former president and world-famous music artist.
However, West appears to be on good terms with Trump, nevertheless.
West previously ran for president in 2020, but that campaign flopped, attracting only a measly 70,000 votes.
President Trump hosting racist antisemites for dinner encourages other racist antisemites. These attitudes are immoral and should not be entertained. This is not the Republican Party.

Kanye West who changed his name to "Ye," is a prominent celebrity, rapper, designer and more.
With careers and businesses than span for decades, West provoked a storm of criticism after he attended Paris Fashion Week wearing a T-shirt bearing the slogan "White Lives Matter." This phrase is widely adopted by white supremacists, who began using it in 2015 as a response to the "Black Lives Matter" movement.
West then defended himself, saying that his critics were being paid by Jewish people.
As he continued to make anti-Semitic comments online and in television interviews, West was dropped by his talent agency.
Worse, fashion companies and other brands also cut ties with West, saying that they would no longer work with him.
The musician later commented that he had lost "two billion dollars in one day."
In his campaign, the rapper said to X17Online, that he is running for President in 2024.
"So you are running?" Ye was asked, in which he responded by saying: “Yes…It’s simple,” adding that “It’s just we’re moving toward the future.”
