American actress Amber Heard’s account has vanished a few days after Elon Musk bought Twitter. This comes on the heels of several celebrities deleting their accounts following Musk’s takeover of the social media platform. The Tesla CEO’s $44 billion acquisition of the platform closed last week, and since then, he has instituted significant changes, including dissolving its board of directors, firing top executives, bringing in Tesla employees, and announcing a $8 fee for verification, or getting a blue tick in front of your handle’s name.

According to NBC News, Toni Braxton, actress Shonda Rhimes, and retired professional wrestler Mick Foley are among the others.

Many Twitter users have questioned whether her previous relationship with the billionaire is connected to his takeover of the social media site due to the rumours surrounding it. However, in May 2016, Musk revealed to People magazine his romance with Heard. The following August, the couple broke up. Heard described her relationship with the Tesla founder as “beautiful” in an interview with the Hollywood Reporter in 2018.
She said, “Elon and I had a beautiful relationship, and we have a beautiful friendship now, one that was based on our core values. Intellectual curiosity, ideas and conversation, a shared love for science. We just bonded on a lot of things that speak to who I am on the inside. I have so much respect for him.”
