Hollywood hits delete: Elon Musk’s Twitter takeover sends celebrities to different social media platforms
Fox Business ^ | October 30, 2022 | Tracy Wright

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!"

They may leave Twitter but celebrities never stay away from anything they can get a “stage” on.

I often wondered how the people of Germany didn’t ‘see’ what was happening. Even with all the colors and art-deco campaign media, and Biden’s ‘red’ speech they just do not see it.

In many ways, this is what scares me the most, even the cinematography fails to inform them they are on the wrong path. And there are thousands of them or even millions.

Trump is no Hitler, he is their freedom fighter too. But somewhere in their movement lives a Hitler 2.0. It is getting more and more painfully obvious they are looking for or waiting for the arrival of their tyrant.

The Grand Delusion if you will. But, I think about the psychosis the captured Germany under Hitler, I feel very much like History is about to repeat itself right here in America. And it can, because the left is blind.

What broke the German blindness after the war? We need to start doing that, now. Can we break the yoke of woke that’s been hung around their shoulders?

Trump getting elected really upset the plans of the deep state, they never really recovered. Everything got delayed.

Now we have twitter getting uncensored and that will be another blow to their plans. We can expect all kinds of shenanigans in attempts to ruin and malign twitter. The attacks will get bizarre very quickly.

Ye-. These people crave attention and they will not get in on alternatives. They won’t leave or will be back shortly if they do.

“What broke the German blindness after the war? “

Losing the war. Their nation was bankrupted, shattered, entire cities leveled, with a vast percentage of their manhood and neighbors dead And allied generals made them parade thru the camps to see what they’d done.

They did, as did others in their time and place. Its those of us that dont confront them for their abuse of free speech that allow it to happen.

Ah, Lebron James. The man who made millions off of Nike’s slave labor in Asia, but didn’t concern himself with it, as he is still so very disturbed about slave labor 160 years ago.

Sara Bareilles?
Shonda Rhimes?
Who the heck are they?
Never head of them.
If we are lucky, the Hollywood crazies will get the heck out of Twitter so we conservatives can join and avoid them.

Good! Most of these “celebrities” are too ego-driven anyway and don’t have a damn clue how the real world functions!

When they espouse their ideas, they simply repeat all the same CRAP because like the Borg, they only have ONE MIND, for all of them to share!
