Elon Musk has responded to Elton John after the icon declared that he was leaving Twitter due to misinformation.
Another day passes, and Musk, 51, finds himself having to defend his acquisition of the social media platform again. He took control of the company in October for $44 billion.
Musk has been accused of laying off staff members, whilst giving those that remain "insane rules of productivity" as he seeks to make this business venture a successful one.
The business magnate has also restored previously banned accounts such as Kanye West (who was removed again for anti-Semitic content) and former President Donald Trump.
Since Musk's takeover, some celebrities have publicly announced their departure from the social media site, such as Jim Carrey and WWE star Mick Foley.
Elton John has become the latest star to leave the platform, as he reveals that "misinformation" is the reason for his departure.
He tweeted: "All my life I’ve tried to use music to bring people together. Yet it saddens me to see how misinformation is now being used to divide our world.
"I’ve decided to no longer use Twitter, given their recent change in policy which will allow misinformation to flourish unchecked."
Musk responded to the tweet: "I love your music. Hope you come back. Is there any misinformation in particular that you’re concerned about?"
The iconic musician didn't confirm what misinformation he was referring to but his announcement comes weeks after Twitter announced it would no longer be enforcing the "Covid-19 misleading information policy," as reported by Deadline.
These guidelines were put in place in early 2020 as rumors and unfounded claims circulated about Covid-19 and the vaccination that was to follow.
This included accounts being suspended and those who were deemed to be spreading misinformation would have their tweets labeled as such.
Musk - self-dubbed "Chief Twit" - has taken a relaxed approach to the platform, as he often claims that he is on the side of free speech, which he says the previous Twitter bosses were not.
The 'Rocket Man' singer has often been outspoken in his opposition to hate speech and campaigns to end the AIDs epidemic through the Elton John AIDS Foundation.
