Now, seven months after the suspension, it appears X's owner has changed his mind. Ye's account, complete with its 31.6 million followers and a little gold verification badge, is back.
Ye's account won't show ads, per The Wall Street Journal, and the singer won't be able to monetize his posts via Musk's new revenue share scheme. His account was apparently restored under the proviso that he doesn't post hateful or antisemitic content. At the time of writing he has not yet posted again.
