How to deactivate or delete your accounts on X, Facebook, Instagram, and Threads
Elon Musk’s apparent Nazi salute at US President Donald Trump’s inauguration on Monday has been the "final straw" for some X users who have decided to leave the social media platform.
Musk, who owns X and is the head of Trump’s DOGE advisory body, was accused of performing the Sieg Heil salute - a symbol of Nazi Germany. The Tesla and SpaceX boss responded to the accusation on X saying: "Frankly, they need better dirty tricks. The 'everyone is Hitler' attack is sooo tired".
But it has caused some X users to quit the platform. "Okay well that's the final straw for me. I'm leaving Twitter," one user said, while another posted: "Elon Musk is a joke. Leaving Twitter forever, bye".
French centre-left newspaper Le Monde also announced it would stop posting on X. "The usefulness of our presence (on X) is outweighed by the many side-effects we endure," Le Monde's chief Jerome Fenoglio wrote in a Monday op-ed, adding that Musk had made the platform into "an extension of his political action".
Meanwhile, Meta’s platform Facebook no longer uses fact-checkers and its CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s rapprochement with Trump has increased Google searches on how to leave the social media app.
