Sara Bareilles revealed she was leaving Twitter amid Hollywood backlash following Elon Musk's takeover of the social media platform just days before.
"Welp. It’s been fun Twitter. I’m out," the Grammy award-winning artist wrote Sunday morning. "See you on other platforms, peeps. Sorry, this one’s just not for me."
Bareilles joined a chorus of celebrities leaving Twitter following the SpaceX billionaire finally acquiring the site and becoming CEO after finalizing a $44 billion takeover Thursday.
Bareilles, known for her 2007 debut hit "Love Song" and writing Broadway's adaptation of "Waitress," joined a few power players leaving the site.
The Tesla CEO finally closed his acquisition of Twitter Thursday, and under the agreement, took the company private at $54.20 per share.
Shonda Rhimes, the creator and writer of "Grey's Anatomy" and its spin-off "Private Practice," tweeted, "Not hanging around for whatever Elon has planned. Bye."
"This is Us" director and director Ken Olin tweeted, "Hey all, I’m out of here. No judgement. Let’s keep the faith. Let’s protect our democracy. Let’s try to be kinder. Let’s try to save the planet. Let’s try to be more generous. Let’s look to find peace in the world."
Rob Reiner encouraged people to stay on the platform and continue tweeting as November elections loom.
"For those who are fighting to preserve our Constitutional Democracy, now is not the time to leave Twitter," he wrote. "Now is the time to VOTE BLUE!"

For those who are fighting to preserve our Constitutional Democracy, now is not the time to leave Twitter. Now is the time to VOTE BLUE!— Rob Reiner (@robreiner) October 28, 2022
In less than 10 days we’re going to decide whether we want to remain in the hands of people who respect our Democracy or give it up to people who will literally kill to get their way. The stakes could not be higher. Vote for Democracy. VOTE BLUE!— Rob Reiner (@robreiner) October 30, 2022
I thought Archie was kidding when he called Rob Reiner a meathead.
Truth- stranger than fiction.— Charlie Daniels (@CharlieDaniels) August 4, 2019
RIP Charlie.
Elon Musk is clearing out the leftist infestation better than a can of Raid.
The only ‘name’ I recognized was that obese behemoth Rob Reiner.
I dont know Elon Musk and, tbh, I could care less who owns twitter. But I will say that if this is true, I hope he and his people take this very seriously because this is scary AF. So many damn unfit people saying hate speech is free speech. https://t.co/Sy0jvXIBnC— LeBron James (@KingJames) October 29, 2022
Dear Elon Musk. Some free advice from the world’s consigliere. You will be making the biggest mistake of your life if you put Adolf Hitler back on the most effective means of communication in the modern world. The kind of mistake you will never, ever be forgiven for. @elonmusk— 🕉🇺🇦Stevie Van Zandt☮️💙 (@StevieVanZandt) October 28, 2022
While I like your posts if DJT throws you over the edge maybe it’s time to go. I doubt you or anyone else will leave so I’m guessing it’s all performative by the left . It’s the new threatening to move to Canada if X person is elected. Fun fact they have less free speech.— Jon Fredericks 🍀 (@fredericks44) October 29, 2022
He’s already on here. His handle is @potus. pic.twitter.com/zachonwOR0— 🖤☠️GAgirlXO☠️🖤 (@GAgirIXO) October 29, 2022
If the situation were reversed, and Rob Reiner was a conservative, he’d be banned from Twitter. And yet he complains that our democracy is under attack by conservatives. They’re blind, utterly blind to their own hypocrisy.
Did their fans follow them on Twitter because they were already on Twitter, or will they join whatever new medium their favorite celebrity joins just to keep following them?
We shall soon find out.

Boo hoo.
We’re not a democracy, meathead.

Imagine their reaction if Apple or Google refused to support the app for their new platform.
Call it "mysafespace.com" (that name's already taken tho).
Rob Reiner (@nobrain-er) should be able to raise the money.
Your pic is a perfect response. While she refers to Trump as Hitler, does she not see what has been going on over the past couple of years? It’s really hard to fathom just how blind these people are.
“Sometimes, the trash takes itself out.”
So true; wish I had thought of that one!
Good riddance to bad rubbish.
Damn. Why wasn’t it this easy for all of those useless narcissists to leave America if Trump wins, back in the day. Did ANY of them do as they promised and move? I guess it wasn’t easy as a click of a button.
Wokeism is a cult that has brainwashed its members. They may as well be zombies.
That said, it is an enemy intent on controlling reality and the world.
In many ways it is more insidious than the nationalist cult of pre-war Germany.
What is particularly concerning is that Wokeism has spread to our military. This is evidenced by General Mark Milley being more worried about diversity, inclusion, and equity than he is with the defense of the nation. Milley is far from alone in his love of the DIE agenda.
It's just a matter of time before the military comes to see that those opposed to its DIE agenda (i.e., the non-Woke) are its enemies.
“They may as well be zombies.”
Like these people, they insanely triple down despite Reality:
“And the people were scorched by intense heat, and they cursed the name of God, who had authority over these plagues; yet they did not repent and give Him glory.”—Rev.16:9
