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!"

The ignorance is astonishing. They say “danger to democracy” when they’re still able to post whatever they want as though free speech has been destroyed. The irony.

And to do that, let's refuse to spread our message of kindness and caring on the world's biggest micro-blogging platform!

Honestly, the fact that the left keeps comparing Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler just shows how ignorant they are. The Donald wanted to limit government as opposed to expanding it, something the Nazis never did.

LOL - it’s like they’re a parody of themselves.

Constitutional Republic, Meathead.

Most of the celebs followers are bots that were bought to show how “popular” the celeb is.

So TRUE!

Many of these clowns are about to discover that in actuality they really only had about 30 to 40% of the followers they thought they had.

Without the bots their numbers become ordina

And yet he complains that our democracy is under attack by conservatives. They’re blind, utterly blind to their own hypocrisy.

You need to study the New World Dictionary.

‘Our democracy” means the mob rule of the progressive & radical left. “Their” mob rule. No one else’s.

And the destruction of their military age males, 4.3 million German men died or are still listed as missing.

This does not include those who were severely disabled due to battlefield wounds.

Bombing their cities into piles of smoldering debris.

Killing between 500,000 and 2 million German civilians, nobody is really sure of the number.

Exposing the GREUSOME CRIMES of the NAZI regime.

AND PUNISHING THOSE RESPONSIBLE!

Lets just hope we don’t have to do it here!
