Elon Musk's controversial role in Trump's administration prompts a mass exodus to the decentralized social media platform Bluesky.

Numerous celebrities and public figures are leaving X, formerly known as Twitter, due to Elon Musk's involvement in Donald Trump's administration.
Bluesky, a decentralized social network, has seen a surge in users, reaching over 16 million, with more than a million joining in the week following the election.
Prominent figures like Jamie Lee Curtis, Don Lemon, and Bette Midler have deactivated their X accounts, citing concerns over the platform's direction and content moderation policies.
