Debra Messing recently joined a line-up of celebrities that have decided to leave Twitter following Elon Musk's acquisition of the social media platform last week.
The American actress' account has been untraceable since Wednesday, which led people to believe that she has called it quits on the platform. These suspicions were confirmed after Messing took to Instagram to post a screenshot of her deleting the Twitter app from her phone.
"YUP. Goodbye Twitter. Instagram I’m all in," the post read.
Messing used her Twitter account to post about political content mainly but she also used it to engage with her 700,000 followers.
The Will and Grace star joins a growing list of celebs that have recently deleted their accounts including screenwriter Shona Rhimes, Grammy-winning singer Sara Bareilles, RnB star Toni Braxton, producer Ken Olin and former WWE wrestler Mick Foley.
However, those who chose to stay used their platform used it to complain about Musk's latest antics.
Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez criticized the South African entrepreneur's decision to implement a fee for verification on Twitter.
In a tweet posted to the platform on Wednesday, the CEO of Tesla told AOC to "pay up" after she blasted him for his new 'blue tick' policy, which will see Twitter users pay $8 for a subscription.
On Tuesday night, AOC tweeted: "Lmao at a billionaire earnestly trying to sell people on the idea that ‘free speech’ is actually a $8/mo subscription plan."
Musk wasn't directly tagged, but it seems as though he must have stumbled across it because within a few hours, he responded back to her saying: "Your feedback is appreciated, now pay $8."
Twitter's new self-proclaimed "Chief Twit" first started buying shares in the business back in January 2022 and by April, he became the highest shareholder with 9.1% ownership.
Then, in late October, he acquired the platform completely and announced some major changes. These included the $8 premium for verification on the platform, which would include 'exclusive' features, such as the ability to post longer videos and audio posts.
"Twitter’s current lords and peasants system for who has or doesn’t have a blue checkmark is b*******," Musk wrote in a tweet. "Power to the people! Blue for $8/month."
