Screenwriter, producer, and showrunner Shonda Rhimes was among the first celebrities to leave, tweeting: "Not hanging around for whatever Elon has planned. Bye." Online chatter about celebrity departures began as far back as April, when some stars vowed to leave the platform after Musk's deal closed, citing concern over what the billionaire would do at the helm of the company. Since Musk finalized the $44 billion deal, there has been a rise in hate speech on the platform. One research group said that the use of the N-word on Twitter increased by nearly 500% in the 12 hours after the takeover. The following celebrities and public figures have made good on their threats to leave.

Shonda Rhimes

The "Grey's Anatomy" and "Bridgerton" creator said on Oct. 29 she was exiting the platform. Rhimes tweeted that she wasn't planning to hang around "for whatever Elon has planned."

Sara Bareilles

Also on Oct. 29, Grammy award-winning singer-songwriter said she quit the platform. Bareilles tweeted: "Welp. It's been fun Twitter. I'm out. See you on other platforms, peeps. Sorry, this one's just not for me."

Ken Olin

Olin, an executive producer on the Emmy-award-winning show "This Is Us," also said he was leaving the social media app. He posted a tweet saying: "I'm out of here. No judgment."

Toni Braxton

R&B star Toni Braxton said she was "shocked and appalled" at some of the content she had seen since Musk's takeover.

Téa Leoni

The actress best known for her role in "'Madam Secretary" has also seemingly deleted her Twitter account. She tweeted that the platform had "revealed too much hate, too much in the wrong direction."

"Love, kindness, and possibilities for all of you," she added.

Brian Koppelman

Koppelman, the "Billions" showrunner, also closed his account. He told his Twitter followers to follow him on Instagram and TikTok instead. He said: "Y'all's, for real, come find me over on instagram and the tok. Gonna really try to take a breather from here for a minute or a month come deal close time."

Alex Winter

The "Bill & Ted" star also appears to have left the platform. His Twitter profile is blank and he has seemingly erased his tweet history. His bio simply says: "Not here. IG: @alxwinter."

Capt. Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger

On Nov. 9, the hero pilot-turned-author said he'd be "taking a step back" from Twitter and listed the other platforms where followers could find him on. One user pointed out the difficulty to verify if he was the real deal or an impersonator. "It took like 5 clicks to see that you were the real Capt Sully, so that seems like a reasonable decision," the tweet read.

Whoopi Goldberg

"It's so messy," the actor said Twitter on the Nov. 7 episode of "The View." Goldberg announced she was leaving Twitter for the time being on the talk show she co-hosts.

Gigi Hadid

"I deactivated my Twitter account today. For a long time, but especially with its new leadership, it's becoming more and more of a cesspool of hate and bigotry, and it's not a place I want to be a part of," Hadid wrote in an Instagram story post.

Amber Heard

Although the "Aquaman" actor didn't give a reason or make an announcement on her departure from Twitter, users noticed her account had been deactivated on Nov. 1. It's unclear why Heard decided to leave Twitter. She dated "Chief Twit" Musk for about a year before the relationship ended in 2018.

Erik Larsen

His handle appeared to be deactivated as of Oct. 31, and Larsen later confirmed his exit in an email to NBC News.

Laura Benanti

Tony Award-winning actor Benanti had some choice words for Musk in her final tweet before deleting her account.

Mick Foley

Jenny Slate

The actress and comic known for voicing "Marcel The Shell With Shoes On" and for films like "Obvious Child" announced she deactivated her Twitter account in an Instagram post shared on Nov. 12. "Bye! Fyi, if someone says they are me...they are not," Slate wrote in the caption. "Unless it's me. But I'm not there anymore so it's not me just to be really clear."

Playbill

"We feel we can no longer continue to utilize a platform where the line between actual news and insidious rhetoric has become blurred beyond recognition," Playbill said in the statement.

"So you gave Trump his Twitter platform back. Absolutely disgusting, Elon," the musician said. "That is officially an asshole move." "You intend to give platforms to known liars and wash your hands like pontius pilate and claim no responsibility?" White wrote in the post.

Trent Reznor

In an interview, Reznor told The Hollywood Reporter: "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."

David Simon

The author, journalist, screenwriter, and producer said he planned to leave.

In one tweet Simon said: "To stay is unethical. Fuck Elon Musk; the technobrat can choke on his new toy."

Liz Phair

The singer-songwriter has deactivated her account.

Phair said in her last tweet: "And the band played on… for not much longer. I'm feeling the deck quaking, so I will add my thanks to each and every one of you for the laughs, the learning, the love, the connection and the inspiration. A wonderful experience overall. Timing tbd"

David Dastmalchian

Elton John

The singer announced on December 9 that he was leaving the social-media platform, citing misinformation and policy concerns. "All my life I've tried to use music to bring people together," he said. "Yet it saddens me to see how misinformation is now being used to divide our world." Musk responded to the singer's tweet saying he was a fan of his music and hoped the singer would return.

Jim Carrey

Carrey announced he was quitting Twitter on November 29. The actor posted his farewell message to the platform along with a video of his first animation project. "I'm leaving Twitter, but 1st here's a cartoon I made with my friend Jimmy Hayward," he said. Twitter was Carrey's only official social-media account. His old Twitter handle, @ghostpanther, no longer exists. One Twitter user posted a picture of a Mastodon account attributed to McKay where he complained about Musk's recent suspension of multiple journalists.
