Los liberales planean un éxodo masivo en Twitter a pesar de la súplica de Elon Musk de que sus "peores críticos" se queden

La noticia de que Elon Musk compró Twitter sacudió al mundo el lunes, provocando una mezcla de reacciones en todo el espectro político.

Si bien los conservadores generalmente recibieron la noticia con entusiasmo, muchos progresistas planearon un éxodo masivo de la plataforma, a pesar del llamado de Musk a sus "peores" críticos para que permanecieran en el sitio.

La notoria actriz y activista Jameela Jamil fue una de las primeras celebridades en expresar que abandonaría Twitter tras la toma de posesión de Musk.

Ella a escritojunto a las fotos de su perro: "Ah, él tiene Twitter. Desearía que este fuera mi último tweet. Realmente *cualquier* excusa para mostrar fotos de Barold".

"Me temo que esta oferta de libertad de expresión ayudará a que esta plataforma infernal alcance su forma final de odio anárquico, intolerancia y misoginia. Buena suerte".

La también actriz y activista Mia Farrow también sugirió que dejaría de usar Twitter después de que se conociera la noticia de la compra.

La estrella de Rosemary's Baby compartió: "Bueno, si Twitter se vuelve aún más tóxico, con las mentiras traicioneras de Trump y todo el odio, se lo tomará con menos seriedad y la gente como yo renunciará, por tranquilidad".

Quizás una de las reacciones más negativas provino del controvertido activista Shaun King, quien afirmó que Musk compró Twitter por "poder blanco".

Poco antes de que se desconectara su cuenta, King escribió: "Hombre [Musk} was raised in Apartheid by a white nationalist. He's upset that Twitter won't allow white nationalists to target/harass people. That's his definition of free speech."

While conservatives quickly celebrated what appeared to be King's exit from the platform, the activist clarified on Monday that he didn't delete his account.

King claimed he only paused his account because he was getting "death threats and hack attempts" from the people "who stormed the Capitol."

Massachusetts senator Elizabeth Warren also weighed in on the Twitter buyout. She did not go as far as pledging to leave Twitter, but she did call the deal "dangerous for our democracy."

Warren explained: "Billionaires like Elon Musk play by a different set of rules than everyone else, accumulating power for their own gain. We need a wealth tax and strong rules to hold Big Tech accountable."

But not everyone was upset over Musk's acquisition of Twitter, with many conservatives cheering the deal as a win for free speech.

Among them was Fox News host Tucker Carson, who celebrated the news by going back to the platform after a temporary suspension for sharing tweets by conservative parody account The Babylon Bee, which Twitter said violated its terms of service.

"We're back," he tweeted on Monday.

Fellow Fox News host Mark Levin also tweeted on Monday saying he had decided to return to the platform "thanks to new ownership."

Georgia representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, who had her personal account banned over Covid-19 misinformation, also gladly welcomed Twitter's new owner, claiming Musk would get her account reinstated.

"Prepare for blue check mark full scale meltdown after @elonmusk seals the deal and I should get my personal Twitter account restored," she tweeted from her congressional account.

Controversial rapper Azelia Banks also announced she would be going back to Twitter after being suspended over

"I actually *have" to thank Elon for buying twitter, I actually got back on," she said on Instagram, adding the ban had cost her money.

Banks' account remains suspended, however, and she has returned to Twitter under a new handle.

The Tesla and SpaceX CEO will be paying $54.20 per share in cash to acquire the social media platform, as part of a deal announced on Monday.

It will take several months to complete the takeover, which is subject to shareholder and regulatory approval.

Musk has described himself as a "free speech absolutist" and has pledged to remove bots from the site by verifying all "real humans."
