“I’m no longer sitting here to see what Elon Musk is going to do. Goodbye!”, – wrote the famous producer of the series, Shonda Rhimes Grey’s Anatomy and Bridgertonon Saturday, reaching out to his 1.9 million followers.

Singer Sara Bareilles shared a similar announcement with her 2.8 million fans on Twitter:

“Well, until now it was funny on Twitter. But I’m leaving here. See you on other platforms, friends. Sorry, it’s not for me.”

“I’m out of here,” Ken Olin, executive producer of the series, also announced on Friday This is us, whose account is followed by 300,000 online fans. Earlier he promised to do it:

“The day Elon Musk takes over Twitter, I’m leaving. Without judging anyone. Let’s still keep hope. Let’s protect our democracy. Let’s try to become better. Let’s try to save the planet. Let’s try to be more generous. Let’s try to find some peace in the world.”

Ken Olin said he will be joining the Tribel social network from now on.

Billionaire producer Brian Koppelman posted a similar message:

“Hi everyone. It’s true, find me on Instagram and Tik-Tok. I’m trying to get away from here for a moment or a month when the transaction ends.”

Formerly Brian Koppelman, who also wrote the filmRoundingmade the following announcement:

“I see some logic in taking a long hiatus from Twitter when EM (Elon Musk – no) takes over.”

Some left-wing American figures are calling for a “fight” on Twitter

Other celebrities who sympathize with leftist ideology in American politics urged users to stay on Twitter and continue to voice their opinions – at least until the US midterm elections.

Filmmaker and activist Rob Reiner, who has previously expressed concern that Elon Musk might buy Twitter, wrote the following message:

“To those fighting to preserve our constitutional democracy, I say now is not the time to leave Twitter. It’s time to vote blue!” (the traditional color of the Democratic Party, none).

Other stars who support progressive ideology have suggested they will stay on Twitter for now, but will no doubt leave the platform once the former president’s Twitter account is reinstated. Elon Musk said that he will most likely make this decision.

Elon Musk angered the writer Stephen King

Others reacted to the news that Elon Musk could charge $20 a month to users who want to keep a mention that certifies the verification of public figures’ accounts (a blue check).

The famous writer Stephen King published the following message:

“$20 a month to keep my blue tick? Hell they should pay me. If this measure is introduced, I will leave here like Enron” (an American company that went bankrupt in 2001 due to huge debts – no).

“How about $8?” — answered Elon Musk.

On Thursday night, Elon Musk closed the deal and took control of the Twitter social network, at the same time giving himself the title of “Tweet in Chief.”

The South African-born billionaire, who is also the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, has pledged to make Twitter a more open platform for more diversity of expression.

However, many voices criticized his plans and said that Elon Musk will turn Twitter into a more hostile online space where hate will spread.
