Gigi Hadid Slams Elon Musk By Leaving Twitter-‘A Cesspool Of Hate And Bigotry’

The billionaire has already proved unpopular with some of the decisions he has made concerning the company. His decision to potentially charge customers $8 a month, so that they can acquire the blue tick to remain verified on Twitter has not gone down very well.

This was on the basis that it had been interpreted as a capitalist move and an attack on freedom of speech. Not only that, but Musk’s decision to lay off a significant amount of workers from the company, including people within the human rights team has not sat very well with Gigi.

With that being said, the model did not hold back on her words. In a post to her fans, Gigi said: “For a long time, but especially with its new leadership. It’s becoming more and more of a cesspool of hate & bigotry, and its [sic] not a place I want to be a part [sic] of.

“I can’t stay it’s a safe place for anyone, nor a social platform that will do more good than harm.” Much in the same way, other stars have appeared to follow suit.

Singer Toni Braxton was very vocal about how the platform would now encourage the proliferation of what she deemed to be hate speech under the guise of freedom of speech.

And with a whole host of people following Toni, including Shonda Rhimes, Sara Bareilles and Téa Leoni, who knows how much damage this could do to the platform going forward. 

The fans on social media, however, questioned Gigi’s motives. This was simply on the basis that people felt the platform had been plagued by this criticism since its inception. One person wrote: It’s been that way for a very long time. Why quit now?”

Time will tell if Twitter can manage to combat this mini exodus. So there you have it folks. What did you think about this? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
