The acquisition of Twitter by Elon Musk has led to many personalities from human rights organizations and the entertainment industry outside of social media.
The founder of Tesla succeeded in acquiring the platform by paying $ 44 billion.
Hours before the announcement, billionaire Elon Musk urged his “worst critics” to stay in the Twitter. However, many users of the site react to the news of the sale by announcing that they will delete their accounts.
The first high-profile star to say she would leave the platform was English actress and presenter Jamila Jamil, who said she feared the environment would change under Musk’s ownership.
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! [Ίλον Μασκ] 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-like lies and all the hatred – it will be taken less seriously and people like me will be pulled away – for peace of mind».
After being criticized by her followers, Farrow seemed to change her mind, asking Musk to “keep Twitter worthy of his previous achievements and law-abiding people everywhere.”
The protagonist of the series “Succession»Τζ. 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.
“Is anyone ready to find another forum that is not Musk’s, without misinformation and a constant stream of unfiltered hatred?”
Amy Siskade, a women’s rights activist, and her LGBTQ community writer and author of “The List: A Week-by-Week Reckoning of Trump’s First Yea” said it would be available for communication via Facebook “Until something better comes”.
Explaining the reasoning behind her decision to leave Twitter, she wrote: “Any content I provide here goes straight to the fortune of a man who I think is absolutely awful».
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. “
