David Schwimmer demands Elon Musk to remove a ‘deranged bigot’ from X, proves he is ‘out of touch with reality’

"Silence is complicity."

Elon Musk to ban Ye from social media once and for all. In response, just about everyone else asked Schwimmer to get real.

Ye is still on X at this very moment, firing off posts that are either misogynistic, anti-Semitic, racist, or anything shocking enough to drive people to check out what he’s selling — be it music or clothes. He’s done this before and has never wholeheartedly apologized for his comments. The only real difference now is that he’s doing it under X’s new ownership. Understandably, Ye’s thought train made Schwimmer sick to his stomach, prompting him to write on Instagram: “We can’t stop a deranged bigot from spewing hate filled, ignorant bile… but we CAN stop giving him a megaphone, Mr. Musk.”

The Friends star is right. On the surface, there’s nothing disagreeable about Schwimmer’s statement — well, almost nothing. The problem lies in his plea for Musk to take action. Musk, who literally did a Nazi salute two weeks ago, is the last person likely to stand against Ye for itting on Musk’s platform that he’s a Nazi. Musk doesn’t care; he’s making a joke of it all. What’s more, Ye is openly thanking Musk for tolerating his hatred.

Schwimmer noticeably ended his Instagram post with the line, “Silence is complicity.” Yet the issue is that he was silent when Musk was making Nazi salutes — Sebastian Stan unable to get a single peer to discuss his Oscar-nominated role as Donald Trump.

Due to the perceived “vibe shift” Musk gloated about earlier, some celebrities have opted to stay out of politics for self-preservation. But here’s the truth: There are no apolitical solutions to hatred like that being spewed by the Trump istration. What Schwimmer said about Kanye, while true, is out of touch with the rest of the nation — and the world, really. Ye’s antics aren’t an anomaly; they directly reflect Musk’s beliefs. Disappointingly, this is the new standard.

s on X expressed as much, calling out the actor for being selective in what issues get his voice.

Another asked what he genuinely expects from a guy who did a Nazi salute himself. 

One summed it up by calling X exactly what it is steadily becoming: A paid speech platform.

Just the other day, Mel Gibson was given a new title by President Trump as a Special Ambassador to Hollywood. The number of hateful things Gibson has said about minorities throughout his long, illustrious career is innumerable, yet the istration has no issue with him whatsoever. They see him as a leader.

So open your eyes, David Schwimmer. This is the sad new reality. Connect the dots and call out the entire istration. Call out even those you think are more powerful than you. Because if we stand against this hate together, we might actually stand a chance.
