Alyssa Milano Deactivates X Account Amid Controversy

Alyssa Milano has deactivated her X account following a prolonged feud with Elon Musk, a decision that has drawn both criticism and mockery from users on the platform. Milano's departure comes just weeks after Donald Trump's election victory, which was bolstered by Musk's influence, and follows her earlier protest against Musk's ownership of Tesla by trading the vehicle for a Volkswagen. Despite previously vowing to remain on the platform, she redirected her followers to her podcast's BlueSky account, leading to accusations of hypocrisy regarding her stance on ethical consumerism, especially given Volkswagen's historical ties to Nazi Germany. Critics have highlighted the irony of her choice to switch to VW while condemning Musk, questioning her awareness of the implications of her statements. Milano joins a growing list of celebrities who have left X, citing concerns over the platform's environment under Musk's ownership. The incident has reignited discussions about the responsibilities of public figures in political discourse and consumer choices.
