Celebrities Exit X After Trump's Election Win

Several prominent figures, including bestselling author Stephen King and actress Jamie Lee Curtis, have left the social media platform X following Donald Trump's presidential election victory, citing a toxic atmosphere. Stephen King criticized the platform for its environment, despite his own history of spreading misinformation. Jamie Lee Curtis deactivated her account and shared her departure on Instagram, quoting the Serenity Prayer without explicitly stating her reasons. Her decision aligns with others, like The Guardian, who have left X due to concerns about far-right conspiracy theories and racism. This exodus reflects a broader trend of dissatisfaction with X's role in political discourse under Elon Musk's ownership. Other celebrities like Bette Midler and Don Lemon have also left the platform for similar reasons.
