View host Whoopi Goldberg has announced that she is leaving Twitter until further notice.
Apparently, too many icky voices have returned since Elon Musk took over the site and she just can’t deal.
From the Post Millennial:
BREAKING: Whoopi Goldberg leaving Twitter: ‘Some speech is not okay free speech’
Whoopi Goldberg has announced that she will be leaving Twitter, describing Elon Musk’s week-long tenure as “a mess”.
Her initial tweet was simple, saying “To everyone, thanks for everything! Until we meet again! Love, Whoop”.
She elaborated more during the broadcast of The View, listing off some of the changes that Musk has made since taking over Twitter, such as the $8 blue check fee, the mass layoffs, and the recent banning of Kathy Griffin for breaking the site’s impersonation rules.
She then went on to add “I’m getting off today because I just feel like it’s so messy, and I’m tired of now having certain kinds of attitudes blocked now getting back on. So I’m gonna get out, and if it settles down enough and I feel more comfortable maybe I’ll come back. But as of tonight, I’m done with Twitter.”

People seem fine with her decision.
"Having had certain kinds of attitudes blocked, and now they're back on…"
translation: "I can't be on Twitter without a censorship framework that props up my worldviews"

I honestly didn't even know she was on Twitter until today. Like I've never seen a tweet of hers before.

This alone is worth Elon’s $44b

What will people do without her?
Darn.
How ever will I get my news from the woman who said Jill Biden should be the Surgeon General? (Jill Biden is not a medical doctor.)

And how long will she really stay away?
