Hollywood star Jim Carrey is leaving Twitter he says (he hasn’t left yet) joining the ranks of other crybaby stars who have shown their true colors since Elon Musk bought Twitter. Jim trashed Musk before making his announcement:
“Capt Smirk fired 1/2 his crew. He’s banning comics: shadow banning unverified users, boldly going where no unbridled ego has gone before. Says, “$8/mo is the price of a latte.” True. It’s also cheaper than a T-shirt saying “Rob me. I’m a gullible ass!” BTW Mars mission? FAKE NEWS.
“I’m leaving Twitter, but 1st here’s a cartoon I made with my friend Jimmy Hayward. It’s based on my painting of a crazy old Lighthouse Keeper, standing naked in a storm, summoning the angels and shining his lamp to guide us through a treacherous night. I love you all so much!”
Other celebrities have left or promised to leave including Nine Inch Nails Frontman Tren Reznor told Billboard about his decision to leave Twitter: “I’m about to depart. We don’t need the arrogance of the billionaire class to feel like they can just come in and solve everything.

“Even without him involved, I just find that it has become such a toxic environment. For my mental health, I need to tune out. I don’t feel good being there anymore.”
Reznor said earlier about his role scoring the hit movie about Facebook, The Social Network:
“I think the whole aspect of social networking is vulgar and repulsive in a lot of ways. But I also see why it’s appealing – I’ve had that little high you get from posting stuff online.
“But then you think, ‘Did I need to say that?’ I’ve explored that enough to know to stay kind of quiet these days.”
Actor and director Rob Reiner said:
“Elon Musk is letting a man who led a violent Insurrection to overthrow the United States Government back on this platform. Letting the Lies and Disinformation continue to poison the American bloodstream.”
“Elon Musk is a c—,” TV producer Andrew Kimmel added on Twitter.
Blink 182’s Tom DeLonge said:
“Under 8 diff grand jury’s for treason, crimes of humanity, money laundering, espionage, rape and RICO.
“Wtf is @ElonMusk doing? Why would he position himself alongside something like this?
“Elon is a trail blazer holding massive insecurities.
“His desire to be funny, and cool is loud. He is seemingly most moved by, literally, people just liking him?
“It now seems like a disease to me? But supporting this racist, treasonous f*ck makes me want vomit and quit Twitter.
“You just incinerated $44B,” Director Bob Cesca said. “Good luck with your dying platform.”
“Get blood pressure pills,” actress Mia Farrow said.
NAACP President Derrick Johnson said:
“You are failing our democracy.
“Your garbage poll means nothing.
“Did people outside the US vote? Did you reach out to marginalized communities—the targets of Trump’s rhetoric—for their input? Your followers don’t represent America.
“If you run Twitter like this, God help us all.”
