Useful fucking idiot.
Just an attention whore seeking attention.
One cannot help but notice that NBC is directing viewers to said website rather than other websites that are not owned by Kanye West and are not selling swastika T-shirts, which probably have a harder time getting potential customers to show up. I see that they also have pricing information and product photos.
One imagines that social media and similar probably also is directing a lot of people there.
This does suggest that West might be onto something.
In a world where people and organizations didn't discuss and link to the product, he might not have the same incentive.
Reminds me of an article posted on Lemmy earlier about how there was a call for a bilingual sign to be removed in London. The article was actually about Elon Musk backing this move, about this sign, the controversy, etc. in reality he responded to some dude complaining about it with a reply saying "yes". Three letters, bam, several journalists are writing articles and people are posting your opinion all over the internet.

This is frankly a bit odd
I do say old chap, this vexes me.
To say the least
It's like a Mel Brooks movie! The guy in charge standing with his nose in the air, says something that any normal person would think is dumb as hell. And all the "yes men" are like "Bravo!" "Bully!" "Good show!" "Excellent!"
This goes for the orange man and X dork as well...
The most surprising thing about this story is his X account being deleted, but it sounds like this may have been a voluntary exit.
