Because Duh: Balenciaga Exits Twitter After Elon Musk Purchase
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Joshua Bright / Joshua Bright The mass exodus from Twitter continues. Balenciaga is the latest brand to leave the platform.

Additionally, some high-profile celebrities have deactivated their accounts as well, including Whoopi Goldberg, Gigi Hadid and Toni Braxton. Back in October, Musk finally bought out Twitter and since then the acquisition has left a poor impression on a large number of their use...
