English actress Jameela Jamil has announced her departure from Twitter following the news that Elon Musk has purchased the social media platform.
On April 25, the Tesla owner completed the $44 billion purchase of the social networking platform. As a result, Twitter will be a for-profit corporation. Musk, the entrepreneur, invited his “worst critics” to remain on Twitter for several hours before the announcement.
One good thing about Elon buying twitter is that I will *FINALLY* leave and stop being a complete menace to society on here. So it’s win win for you all really. 😂

Users of the site have reacted to the sale, with some stating that they will delete their accounts. Jamil, a former The Good Place actor and presenter, also announced her intention to leave the platform, citing concerns about how the climate would change under Musk’s control. She ended her message to her fans by sharing four photos of herself with her pet dog.
Ah he got twitter. I would like this to be my what lies here as my last tweet. Just really *any* excuse to show pics of Barold. I fear this free speech bid is going to help this hell platform reach its final form of totally lawless hate, bigotry, and misogyny. Best of luck. ❤️ pic.twitter.com/fBDOuEYI3e
