A number of verified Twitter users, celebrities, and others said they would leave the platform following Elon Musk’s purchase of the social media website Monday.

The term “leaving Twitter” trended on the website for several hours, as prominent users claimed that former President Donald Trump—perhaps the most influential poster before his suspension—would be allowed back on the website. For his part, Trump told Fox News Monday that he won’t be coming back to Twitter and said he will use his Truth Social platform instead.
