The hashtag #LeavingTwitter would begin to trend after it was confirmed that Elon Musk was purchasing the microblogging platform for an incredible $44 billion. And while he didn’t use the hashtag, WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley has since announced he is among those now considering quitting the bird app, saying he doesn’t have a good feeling regarding its future. It should be noted the hardcore legend has taken breaks from Twitter in the past but has always returned, bringing with him a level of positivity rarely found on the Twitterverse.
Twitter users are split when it comes to Musk’s takeover, with some seeing it as a much-needed change. In contrast, others feel it no longer being a publicly listed company will be the beginning of the end. The big issue seems to be Musk’s goal of making the app a place where everyone can debate topics without the worry of censorship. However, critics say it will become the home of hate speech and become damaging to the world. Of course, until Musk officially takes over and implements his changes, it’s impossible to envision the site in the future accurately. Nevertheless, some, including Foley, appear set not to be there to see it.
