Jamie Lee Curtis, Don Lemon, and more leave X after Donald Trump's election victory
Los Angeles, California - Jamie Lee Curtis, Don Lemon, and more have bid adieu to the platform X after Donald Trump's presidential win.
The fallout from Trump winning the 2024 election continues as celebrities have started leaving the social media site.
The mass exodus began after the president-elect appointed X owner Elon Musk, who publicly campaigned for the controversial politician, as the leader of the newly created Department of Government Efficiency along with entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy.
Following this, numerous stars and brands have quietly exited the long-running app.
Others have been vocal about why they're leaving X, however.

Curtis announced her departure from X via Instagram with a screenshot of her deleted account.
The Bear star captioned the post with the Serenity Prayer: "God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change. Courage to change the things I can. And the wisdom to know the difference."
The Guardian also removed their page and confirmed the decision in a statement via USA Today.
The statement read, "This is something we have been considering for a while given the often disturbing content promoted or found on the platform, including far-right conspiracy theories and racism."
It continued, "The U.S. presidential election campaign served only to underline what we have considered for a long time: that X is a toxic media platform and that its owner, Elon Musk, has been able to use its influence to shape political discourse."
As for Lemon, the former CNN host shared in a clip on IG, "I once believed it was a place for honest debate and discussion, transparency, and free speech, but I now feel it does not serve that purpose."
