During Elon Musk's takeover, Celebs Stay on Twitter
Elon Musk purchased the company
Several celebrities have announced their intention to stay with Twitter even after Elon Musk purchased the company for $44 billion. People are staying to stand up for free speech, while others see it as an opportunity to push Musk in a certain direction. He's expected to take over fully in six months after the board unanimously approved Musk's takeover bid on Monday. The platform has already been abandoned by some celebrities, reportedly protesting Musk's takeover.
Justin Bieber tweeted last year
Musk openly commented on how many celebrities and biggest accounts were leaving Twitter, while Justin Bieber only tweeted once last year. The following notable people are staying on Twitter for the foreseeable future. George Takei, the actor, and gay activist gave a bold statement to his 3.3 million followers. Twitter was discussing Takei leaving, but he tweeted that he would not be leaving. Takei pledges to rise even higher if this place becomes more toxic if reason, science, compassion, and the rule of law are challenged. Fighting fascism, misinformation, and hate requires all hands on deck. I hope you fight right alongside me."
