Kanye West told Elon Musk that he is not bipolar but does have ‘signs of autism’ from a car accident in leaked text messages.
The 46-year-old artist – who recently had a gig in Italy cancelled due to protests from war veterans – asked longtime confidant Ian Connor to post screenshots from text messages he had allegedly sent to the 52-year-old X (formally Twitter) boss.
As Kanye was banned from Elon’s social media platform in December 2022, he was seemingly pleading for another chance while explaining himself in a long ranting message.
Perhaps the most eye-opening part of the text was when the Through The Wire hitmaker said: ‘I’m not bi polar.
‘I have signs of autism from my car accident.’

Kanye was seemingly referencing his famous vehicle collision while leaving a recording session at a studio in LA back in October 23, 2002.
At the time the up-and-coming rapper had fallen asleep at the wheel of his rented Lexus when he crashed into an oncoming car leaving his jaw shattered in three places, which he has referenced in numerous songs over the years.
Kanye also appeared to get into more personal matters as he referenced his relationship with ex-wife Kim Kardashian who has primary custody of their four children.
He wrote: ‘You can’t watch Kim keep my kids from me.
‘And not say anything publicly and then call yourself my friend so I can bring my audience to your struggling platform.’
The 42-year-old Kardashians star filed for divorce from the musician in February of 2021. The pair share four children together – North, 10, Psalm, four, Saint, seven, and Chicago, five.
The beginning of the lengthy message saw the Blood On The Leaves rapper asking the Tesla boss when they are going to speak and that he doesn’t owe him a meeting but if they do ‘the nature of the relationship has to change.’
It remains unclear what prompted the text messages from Kanye in the first place.
