Musk took over the micro-blogging platform last week and ever since many famous celebrities have spoken out against him and have left Twitter. Shonda Rhimes also left Twitter. Singer Toni Braxton also left Twitter. 

Braxton reportedly wrote, “Hate speech under the veil of ‘free speech is unacceptable; So, I am choosing to stay off Twitter as it is no longer a safe space for myself.”
