Guy A. Lepage has decided to cut ties with Twitter after removing the logo from his account.
In a note posted on his account on Thursday afternoon, the anchor Everyone is talking about it “It’s time for me to quit Twitter because Mr. Rocket (Elon Musk) took my T-hook off,” he wrote.
The comedian and actor raised the incongruity of having to pay any more to benefit from this recognition that is given to everyone.
He also took the time to thank his “good subscribers” with whom he had discussed in recent years, as well as others, “during exchanges, friendship or passing muscle”.
“I know I leave you with the ugliness of society. You look to forgive me. But nothing compels you to stay there,” he wrote to conclude. The host clarified that he would keep it up on his page until Thursday evening so people could take pictures of his post.
