American TV host Whoopi Goldberg has announced her exit from Twitter. Citing a chaos-filled week after Elon Musk took over Twitter, Whoopi Goldberg announced that she would no longer be on the micro-blogging site. She announced the news on her talk show ‘The View’ and ironically, the clip was shared by the team of the talk show on Twitter!
According to Hollywood Reporter, Whoopi Goldberg said, “It’s been a little over a week since Elon Musk took over Twitter and this place is a mess. I’m getting off today because I just feel like it’s so messy, and I’m tired of now having certain kinds of attitudes blocked now getting back on. So I’m gonna get out, and if it settles down enough and I feel more comfortable maybe I’ll come back. But as of tonight, I’m done with Twitter.”
Goldberg also highlighted all the spontaneous announcements that he has made after taking control over the micro blogging site including the reduction of the new blue tick program’s price to USD 8 and staff layoffs and rehirings. She also mentioned the suspension of Kathy Griffin’s account on the pretext of pretending Elon Musk.
Besides Goldberg, Gigi Hadid too made her exit from twitter post layoffs. She announced about her exit from twitter on instagram. While criticising Musk, Gigi wrote, “For a long time, but especially with its new leadership, it’s becoming more and more of a cesspool of hate & bigotry, and it’s not a place I want to be a part of. Only sorry to the fans, who I have loved connecting with for a decade via Twitter, but I can’t say “I can’t stay it’s a safe place for anyone, nor a social platform that will do more good than harm.”
