Musicians Leaving Twitter As Elon Musk Took Over the Social Media Platform

In recent times, Twitter is the most popular social media site. Now Twitter has turned into a war zone rather than a social media site. It has always been a platform where people could liberally share their opinion about any kind of thing. This fact has even increased after Elon Musk took over the application in October. After that, a lot of musicians even left Twitter.

Elon Musk has invested $44 million to buy the share of this social media site. And as soon as he bought it, he even laid off thousands of employees instantly. Along with that, he has increased the restrictions and banned the accounts of the users. He also started a new ‘Twitter Blue’ subscription. With this feature, a user can get their accounts verified with a blue checkmark. Users need to pay a price to get the blue mark.

These kinds of changes have made a lot of users unhappy. For that reason, Elon has also tweeted a poll by saying if he should leave the position of CEO or not. In response, 57% of people voted yes. He tweeted ‘I will resign as CEO as soon as I find someone foolish enough to take the job! After that, I will just run the software & servers teams’.

People use this platform to share their personal opinion and after taking over Twitter, many musicians have taken the initiative to show their disgust about the uncertain changes. Artists like blink-182’s Tom DeLonge, Testament’s Alex Skolnick, and Sebastian Bach have shared their thoughts. Along with them, many other artists have also joined them.

Trent Razor has said ‘We don’t need the arrogance of the billionaire class to feel like they can just come in and solve everything…Even without him involved, I just find that it has become such a toxic environment. For my mental health, I need to tune out. I don’t feel good being there anymore’. In response, Elon has said ‘crybaby’ to Trent.

Jack White made his statement by saying ‘So you gave Trump his Twitter platform back. Absolutely disgusting, Elon. That is officially an asshole move. Why don’t you be truthful? Tell it like it is…

“You intend to give platforms to known liars and wash your hands like pontius pilate and claim no responsibility? Trump was removed from Twitter because he incited violence multiple times, people died and were injured as a result of his lies and his ego, (let alone what his coup did to attempt to destroy democracy and our Capitol)’. And along with them, Liz Phair said ‘And the band played on… for not much longer. I’m feeling the deck quaking, so I will add my thanks to each and every one of you for the laughs, the learning, the love, the connection and the inspiration. A wonderful experience overall. Timing tbd’.
