John Cleese Says Goodbye to Twitter
Comedian John Cleese has announced he is leaving Twitter, following Elon Musk's takeover of the platform.
Cleese, 83, made the announcement in a series of tweets on Friday, saying he had "become uneasy" about the platform under Musk's ownership.
He said he had been "increasingly worried" about the direction of the platform under Musk, and said he did not want to be part of it anymore.
Cleese, who has more than 6 million followers on Twitter, said he would continue to use other social media platforms, such as Instagram and Facebook.
He said he would "miss" Twitter, but said he did not want to be part of a platform that he did not believe in.
Cleese's departure from Twitter is the latest in a series of high-profile figures who have left the platform since Musk took over.
Other high-profile figures who have left Twitter since Musk took over include Whoopi Goldberg, Jim Carrey, and Amber Heard.
Musk has been criticized by some for his changes to Twitter, including his decision to lay off half of the company's staff.
He has also been criticized for his decision to reinstate the accounts of several controversial figures, such as Donald Trump.
It is unclear whether Cleese's departure from Twitter will have any impact on the platform.
However, it is a sign that some users are becoming increasingly concerned about the direction of the platform under Musk.
