Celebrities leave X in record numbers after Trump's election victory

Following Donald Trump's election victory, many celebrities and organizations are leaving the social media platform X, formerly Twitter. Account deletions have reached record highs, driven by Musk's support for Trump and the launch of his new government department. New platforms like Bluesky and Threads are seeing increased user activity as former X users seek alternatives. Bluesky gained 700,000 users recently, while Threads now has 275 million monthly active users, a 38% increase in three months. Several high-profile figures have announced their departures from X, citing concerns over misinformation and the platform's direction. Notable exits include a TV comedian and a former diplomat, both expressing dissatisfaction with the current state of discourse on X.
