In an unprecedented move that has sent shockwaves through both the sports and social media worlds, NFL superstar Travis Kelce has announced his departure from Elon Musk’s social media platform, X (formerly known as Twitter).
Kelce, who has been the subject of increasing media attention due to his relationship with pop icon Taylor Swift, voiced his frustration over the “toxic” environment that has been fostered on the platform, citing hurtful and scathing comments directed at Swift in recent weeks.
Kelce’s decision to leave X comes after a series of disturbing online attacks against his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, from various users on the platform.
The scornful remarks have ranged from personal insults to vitriolic statements aimed at Swift’s music career and her relationship with Kelce. Kelce, who has always been a vocal advocate for protecting his loved ones from negativity, did not mince words in expressing his disdain for the platform and its current state.
“This is my final post on X,” Kelce declared in a statement shared across his social media accounts. “The hate, the trolling, and the utter disrespect for human beings on this platform is beyond what anyone should tolerate.
