In text messages shared on Instagram by Ian Connor, Kanye West, now known as “Ye,” reportedly told Elon Musk that he believes he has “signs of autism” resulting from his 2002 car crash.
In the iMessage conversation, Ye asked Musk when they would speak, emphasizing that he felt the nature of their relationship needed to change. He clarified that he is not bipolar but claimed to have signs of autism due to his car accident.
Ye also accused Kim Kardashian of preventing him from seeing his children and commented on the tumultuous state of Musk’s social media platform. He expressed frustration with Kim’s actions and voiced his concerns regarding Musk’s platform, insinuating that he expected Musk to support him publicly.
The car accident that Ye is referencing in the messages is the near-fatal crash he experienced in October 2002. He was driving home from a recording studio when the accident occurred, resulting in a shattered jaw. This incident is widely known, and Ye documented his recovery process in his track “Through the Wire,” which became a significant part of his career and personal history. While the exact date of these messages is unclear, the timestamps suggest they were recent, and Ye urged Ian Connor to share them with the public.
