Top French newspaper Le Monde is leaving X, formerly known as Twitter, over the social media platform's "growing toxicity" and ties to President Donald Trump.
Editor-in-Chief Jérôme Fenoglio, who has been with the paper since 1991, announced the update in a sweeping editorial published Monday. He denounced "media and social platform bosses," including Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Jeff Bezos for aligning themselves with Trump, whose "distinctive traits" are "lies, violence, manipulation, blackmail, cynicism, selfishness, sexism, racism, hatred of law and institutions."
