Dumping Elon Musk's X Just Got Easier: The Shocking Reason Millions Are Deleting Their Accounts Now

LONDON (AP) — Since Elon Musk acquired Twitter, renamed it X, fired much of its staff and made other big changes, a steady stream of celebrities, public figures, organizations and ordinary people have quit the social media platform. If you're among those who are considering leaving X, but don't know how to do it, this guide is for you.

Quitting X, formerly Twitter, is not as straightforward as you might think. Unlike other social media platforms that have a simple "delete account" option, X requires users to go through a slightly more complicated process.

So why are millions of users choosing to leave X? For one, the acquisition by Elon Musk has led to the introduction of new rules and guidelines that many users disagree with. Some have criticized the shift towards a more free-form discussion space, while others have complained about the lack of moderation on the site.

Whatever your reason for wanting to leave X, here's a step-by-step guide on how to do it:

1. Login to your X account on the website or mobile app.
2. Click on your profile picture in the top right corner of the screen, then select "Settings and Support" from the dropdown menu.
3. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and select "Account" from the menu on the left.
4. Click on "Delete Account" at the bottom of the page.
5. Confirm that you want to delete your account by clicking "Delete".

Once you've deleted your account, you'll have 30 days to change your mind and reinstate it. After that, your account will be permanently deleted and all of your information will be removed from X.

So, if you're ready to say goodbye to X and join the millions of users who have already left, now you know how to do it. Follow the steps above and you'll be free of the platform in no time.

But before you go, consider why you're leaving in the first place. Is it due to the changes Elon Musk has made to the platform, or is there something else that has driven you away? Whatever your reason, it's clear that X is no longer the platform it once was, and that millions of users are seeking alternatives.
