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!"

So THAT'S why I know nothing about this person. Nor care to.

“What broke the German blindness after the war?”

The US Military forcing German citizens to witness the Concentration Camps was the start.

I would hope this time around we won’t need to do concentration camps. That somehow we can stop this before it gets that far for either side.

“If we are lucky, the Hollywood crazies will get the heck out of Twitter so we conservatives can join and avoid them”

I hope they stay, they will have to face the mockery directed to them.

What did that mean then and how was it accomplished?

What lessons can we apply today?

The left is going to do what it always does: attack and destroy. They will pull ads and post racist things so as to blame the right.

Because twitter will no longer be 100% in the service of leftist propaganda.

Leftists are currently in another one of their hysterical fits. Today’s enemy is Musk and twitter.

Imho the zombie apocalypse of recent lore is already happening and they walk among us, many unseen, but when max-woke strikes them....they become plain as day. What can you do to protect yourself and family? Good question. Maybe the answer lies in the way zombies are dealt with in the movies? Now THAT would be interesting. Hollywood showing the rest of us the best way to deal with them. Just spitballin’ here. Not pretty but pretty simple

It’s going to be fun watching them crawl back. Being famous is a drug to them and they need it daily. What children they are....worse then children. Immature adults.

We have already seen some shenanigans with the sudden uptick in Twitter posts using the N-word. All of them by leftists.

What’s a “Constitutional Democracy”? I thought it is a Constitutional Republic. Democrats really don’t know what democracy is, do they? Doesn’t “democracy” basically leaves out the Constitution and things are don’t by the majority, like the “popular vote”?

None of the people mentioned in the article are people I would want to follow on social media.

They just aren't that interesting.

"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."

People see what they want to see.
Or not see.
Sometimes its a flagrant choice.
