And has Kanye already asked for statistics on the number of bots? I mean, it appears as if he's trying to do an Elon.

This looks more like pulling a 'Trump' with Truth Social, since they both got 'yeeted' from twitter and other platforms.

Who are you referring to? Both were banned. Ye was allowed back recently and was banned again days later for anti-semitic tweets:

*edit

Ye/Kanye's twitter was locked, not banned.

Kanye was banned? I thought they removed your content if you were banned.
