Parlement Technologies CEO George Farmer said “This deal will change the world, and change the way the world thinks about free speech. Ye is making a groundbreaking move into the free speech media space and will never have to fear being removed from social media again. Once again, Ye proves that he is one step ahead of the legacy media narrative. Parlement will be honored to help him achieve his goals.” Parlement Technologies is the parent company of the social media app and website.
The purchase comes off the heels of West’s Twitter account being temporarily locked due to an antisemitic tweet.

His latest interview with the famed podcast “Drink Champs” hosted by rapper NORE and DJ EFN has also raised eyebrows with Ye doubling down on his comment.
Ye also stunned fans by wearing a “White Lives Matter” shirt with Black Conservative talker Candace Owens and unaired snippets from an interview with FOX news host Tucker Carlson that featured conspiracy theories and antisemitic comments.
