Elton John Leaves Twitter: These Are All The Celebrities Departing After Elon Musk’s Takeover

Elton John is the latest in a string of high-profile celebrities to leave Twitter as a result of changes in the platform since new owner Elon Musk took over in October, following stars like musician Jack White and model Gigi Hadid.

Since Musk’s takeover of Twitter, many advertisers have also suspended spending on the platform out of concern for the new direction the company is taking. This week, Twitter delayed its relaunch of paid subscription service Twitter Blue over concerns of users impersonating high-profile celebrities. When the program, which includes paid verification badges, first rolled out last month, some users paid the $7.99 fee for the checkmark only to impersonate well-known figures and groups.
