Trent Reznor has quit Twitter, with baby Musk taking a swipe at him for leaving





https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/trent-reznor-will-quit-twitter/

Trent Reznor has announced that he will soon leave Twitter after Elon Musk took over the social media platform. Musk purchased Twitter last month and is now its new owner. Musk set about removing several high-end executives from the business and has been implementing new services, including a paid-for verification system and a new protocol for banning users.

Musk subsequently saw an increase in the amount of hate speech against him and, as a result, decided to ban several of those users. He also told the staff at Twitter that they have no choice but to “work long hours at high intensity”.

Now, it looks as though Nine Inch Nail’s frontman, Trent Reznor, has had enough of Musk’s games and has said that he is “ready to depart” Twitter, finding Musk’s whole attitude over his takeover “embarrassing”. Reznor said: “I’m about to depart. We don’t need the arrogance of the billionaire class to feel like they can just come in and solve everything. Even without him involved, I just find that it has become such a toxic environment. For my mental health, I need to tune out. I don’t feel good being there anymore.”

However, Reznor is not the only musician to have voiced their frustrations at the new Musk-handled Twitter. The Strokes singer Julian Casablancas recently wrote on Instagram: “PS dear Rober Baron asshole who makes butt ugly ass cars and thinks billionaires show pay no taxes… (Elon Musk), maybe Twitter could deal if you didn’t (like a typical CEO asshole bottom-line hungry super-villain) fire half your staff. What a great symbol for 2020s pieces of shit.”

Musk's juvenile response, as he replied to a tweet from the equally juvenile troll named Catturd, who named himself after something much better than he is:





Catturd: Breaking ...

48 hours since @elonmusk reinstated President Trump's Twitter account and the world still hasn't ended.


Musk: And it turns out that Trent “nine inch nails” Reznor is actually a crybaby 🤣

It seems so, not running any of his actual businesses. Perhaps that is actually good for the other businesses.

on a company that is not worth that on a good day, so that he could control when people say mean things about him.

Who is the fucking crybaby?

Elon Musk is an erratic douche and gloryhound.

And Catturd's a, well, cat's turd.

(Seriously though, Reznor is one of the most talented musicians of his era. Not just through Nine Inch Nails, but lately his soundtrack work. And his coloration with Halsey on her album last year was phenomenal.)
