The acquisition of Twitter by Elon Musk has led to many personalities from human rights organizations and the entertainment industry outside of social media.
Its founder Tesla acquired the $ 44 billion acquisition of the platform.
Hours before the announcement, billionaire Elon Musk urged his “worst critics” to stay on Twitter. However, many users of the site reacted to the news of the sale by announcing that they would delete their accounts.
The first high-profile star who said she would leave the platform was English actress and presenter Jamila Jamil, who said that he fears how the environment under Musk's ownership will change.
Meanwhile, there were some who, while criticizing Musk, pledged to stay on the platform to “stay in the fight.” Others saw their accounts reactivate after being banned for violating rules when Twitter belonged to Jack Dorsey.
American singer and actress Eiselia Banks and political commentator Tucker Carlson have returned to the site, where they could not post. Ice Cube – which has restrictions on its account – expressed its satisfaction that Twitter has a new owner, writing: “Finally free! [Elon Musk] take out the shadow ban my friend… »(practice of blocking or partially blocking a user or his content).
Jamila Jamil immediately announced her plans to leave the site, sending one last message to her followers, which included four photos of her with her dog.
Actress Mia Farrow tweeted, which has since been deleted: “Well, if Twitter becomes even more toxic – with Trump-type lies and all the hatred – it will be taken less seriously and people like me will be withdrawn – for peace of mind. ».
The protagonist of the series “Succession” J. Smith Cameron has hinted that he will switch to another social media site due to the acquisition of Twitter by Elon Musk, according to an article in The Independent.
“Ready to find another non-Musk forum without misinformation and the ongoing flow of unfiltered hatred? “. Said he would be available to communicate via Facebook “until something better comes”.
The author added: “People need to understand that this is no longer a public company. Every post you make here is free content to enrich a man, Elon Musk. He controls completely and does not answer to anyone. I do not see him as a mentally stable person. “
