X-odus from Twitter because of Trump includes stars like Jamie Lee Curtis

Jamie Lee Curtis is one of several Hollywood stars who closed their account on X (formerly Twitter). The 'Freaky Friday' actress decided to leave X — formerly Twitter — after Donald Trump's victory in the US presidential elections.

Curtis announced the news through her Instagram account, where she shared a screenshot to prove that she had deactivated the account.

According to the Daily Mail, The actress's decision coincides with a mass exodus of users from the formerly popular social media platform. It especially includes many personalities with liberal political leanings.

Following the recent election, the social network Bluesky became the most popular social app on Apple's charts. It added more than 700,000 users in just a few days, and many of them were coming from Twitter.

In her Instagram post, Curtis used the serenity prayer to announce her departure from X. "G0d, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change," was all the actress wrote in her post, according to Variety.

Although Curtis did not specify the exact reasons for her departure from the platform, the Daily Mail explains that her followers attribute it to Elon Musk's close relationship with Donald Trump and the latter's victory in the elections.

Curtis has been an outspoken supporter of Kamala Harris and the Democratic Party, and it is possible she doesn't feel comfortable anymore on a platform that is run by a pro-Trump tech giant.

Following the announcement of Donald Trump's second presidential victory, Curtis expressed her concerns about what this would mean for the country's future.

"Many fear their rights will be impeded and denied," she stated. "Gay and trans people will be more afraid. We know that many women will now find it difficult to get the reproductive healthcare that they need and deserve." The actress assured her followers that she would continue to support those affected by the new government, as Variety reported.

The actress has been an active social media user. She has used X to interact with her followers and promote her projects. Her departure from the platform marks the end of an era in which she also frequently shared her thoughts on politics and society.

Following Trump's victory, Curtis called for action, stressing the importance of fighting for the rights of women and minorities, one day at a time, and maintaining hope in uncertain times. "That's what it means to be an American," the actress stated.

Curtis is not the only celebrity who has decided to leave X. American presenter Don Lemon also announced his departure, although he will keep his account visible for the time being.

Lemon mentioned that the platform is no longer a suitable place for honest debate and free expression. The journalist is one of those who left X for Bluesky, among other platforms, as reported by the Daily Mail.

Concerns about the platform have been heightened following changes to X's terms of service. Beginning on November 15, they force users to resolve legal disputes in conservative Texas courts, the Daily Mail reported.

Indicating this place for litigation could make it easier for the company to protect itself from criticism and lawsuits.

Renowned organizations such as the Berlin Film Festival and major media outlets such as The Guardian have also left the platform. The paper cited increasing toxicity, the promotion of far-right conspiracy theories, and racism as its reasons for pulling out of X.
