Elon Musk's decisions and the unknown future of Twitter worry the stars of the social network, who fear losing their followers. Celebrities have listed their official account addresses on other sites to enable their fans to move to them in case they lose their pages on the blue-bird platform.
US Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was the first to initiate this step, tweeting through her account, which has 13.4 million followers, “As a plan B, follow me on @AOC on Instagram, as I personally manage the page similar to my Twitter account. Or you can subscribe In the e-mail service, through which I will inform you of all the social platforms that I will join.
Twitter's future is no longer guaranteed and has been controversial since Elon Musk took over the administration and made decisions, starting with dismissing employees and ending with reactivating former US President Donald Trump's account on the platform.
The owner of "Tesla" and "SpaceX", who acquired Twitter three weeks ago, hinted at the imminent end of the platform by publishing a picture showing a grave with the network's logo on it, before tweeting Sunday, "Twitter is alive."
Musk's move was enough to raise concern among users of the most popular platform among the 237 million daily active users on it, about losing their followers, whose numbers took several years of continuous activity on the platform to increase.
And these network celebrities had previously had to understand the idea of an imminent loss to verify their accounts, which was free and intended for media personalities, in the event that they did not pay the eight dollars a month imposed by Musk to verify the accounts.
Among them are notable names in the cryptocurrency trading space, such as former FTX head Sam Bankman Fried and Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, who use Twitter to make any major announcement.
