Pop culture giants Taylor Swift and the Kardashian family have seen a sharp decline in their social media followings after Elon Musk openly demanded.
That their accounts be disabled and boycotted. Since this loss happened in a single night, there has been conjecture over the causes of this abrupt decline.
Musk’s Boycott Request Elon Musk, the owner of the X platform (previously Twitter), started the debate by using his platform to urge his followers to boycott Taylor Swift and the Kardashians.
Musk attacked these celebrities’ social and political stances in a string of postings, saying they were endorsing “cancel culture” and ideas that he believed to be detrimental to free expression.
In outrage, the billionaire asked his millions of fans to “boycott” and “block” these celebrities’ accounts.
Additionally, he brought up their alleged involvement in what he sees as the overabundance of “woke” culture, a trend he has publicly denounced in recent months.
