Sir Elton John<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Sir Elton John has become the latest celebrity to leave Twitter since its acquisition by Tesla boss Elon Musk, the BBC reported.<\/p>\n The singer, a\u00a0headline act for next year\u2019s Glastonbury Festival, blamed the platform\u2019s \u201cchange in policy\u201d around misinformation without elaborating.<\/p>\n Twitter stopped taking action against accounts spreading misleading information about Covid-19 last month.<\/p>\n In response to Sir Elton\u2019s announcement, Mr Musk said he hoped the star would be back.<\/p>\n In\u00a0what could be his last ever tweet, the Rocket Man singer wrote: \u201cAll my life I\u2019ve tried to use music to bring people together. Yet it saddens me to see how misinformation is now being used to divide our world.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve decided to no longer use Twitter, given their recent change in policy which will allow misinformation to flourish unchecked.\u201d<\/p>\n Twitter\u2019s controversial CEO, who began referring to himself as the company\u2019s Chief Twit after buying it, replied to the post saying: \u201cI love your music. Hope you come back. Is there any misinformation in particular that you\u2019re concerned about?\u201d<\/p>\n Since Mr Musk completed his $44bn (\u00a338.1bn) Twitter takeover in October, there has been controversy over the Covid policy roll-back, as well as other moves such as reinstating some previously suspended accounts and charging users for their \u201cblue tick\u201d.<\/p>\n A slew of famous faces have, in the aftermath, signed out of Twitter for good, citing its new leader as their main reason for leaving.<\/p>\n Actors Jim Carrey and Whoopi Goldberg, supermodel Gigi Hadid and White Stripes musician Jack White are among those to have quit the social media website.<\/p>\n \n\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Sir Elton John \u00a0 Sir Elton John has become the latest celebrity to leave Twitter since its acquisition by Tesla boss Elon Musk, the BBC reported.
