Elon Musk reacts to Kanye West's 'half-Chinese' comment

Kanye West may have called Twitter owner Elon musk a "half Chinese" and a "genetic hybrid" in anger, but Musk seemed to have taken the comment in his stride.

Musk responded on Monday to West's claim as a "compliment". "I take that as a compliment," tweeted Musk in response to news item on West's new rant.

"Am I the only one who thinks Elon could be half-Chinese? Have you ever seen his pics as a child? Take a Chinese genius and mate them with a South African supermodel and we have an Elon," said West.

"I say an Elon because they probably made 10 to 30 Elons and he is the first genetic hybrid that stuck...Well let's not forget about Obama," he added.

Later, when a user on Twitter asked Musk to 'fix' West, the billionaire said, "I tried my best. Despite that, he again violated our rule against incitement to violence. Account will be suspended." Musk tweeted.
