I have left X in protest of Elon Musk. Find me on LinkedIn. RIP Twitter.

[Sarah Backstrand @SarahBackstrand]

I do not want to support Elon Musk or his social media platform. This will be my last post.

I used to like Twitter. I felt it was a space to learn from others. Now it is a space for @elonmusk to promote himself and his agenda.

@realDonaldTrump is a climate-denying bigot. @elonmusk calls himself pro-climate yet no single business leader did more to support former President Donald Trump's candidacy than Elon Musk.

"At school, even in kindergarten, we are taught to behave in the world; not to fight with others, to work things out, to respect others, to clean up our mess, not to hurt other creatures to share – not be greedy." #StopTrump

I believe in death with dignity! Severely ill or suffering people should have the opportunity to end their lives when the time is right, surrounded by their loved ones. #LegalizeEuthanasia
