“Shoutout To All Of These Celebs”: People Praise Stars For Leaving Elon Musk’s X, Here’s Who Left

Several celebrities have announced their decision to leave X (formerly known as Twitter) since the social media platform was acquired by Elon Musk in October 2022. 

President-elect Donald Trump’s recent appointment of the SpaceX founder as the new head of the Department of Government Efficiency—alongside entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy—has sparked a new exodus, as artists express concerns about the platform losing its independence and serving the interests of a political party.

On November 15, Elon changed the company’s terms and service, requiring that disputes between users and X must be “brought exclusively in the US District Court for the Northern District of Texas, or state courts located in Tarrant County, Texas,” which the Washington Post described as “a hub for conservatives.”
