Major media outlets are leaving X, formerly Twitter, citing disinformation and a toxic environment under Elon Musk's ownership. Musk, a vocal supporter of U.S. President-elect Donald Trump, has faced criticism for aligning the platform with Trump’s political ambitions.

The Guardian, La Vanguardia, and Sweden’s Dagens Nyheter have stopped publishing on X, accusing it of promoting far-right conspiracy theories and harmful content. Experts note that X now facilitates polarized discussions, damaging journalistic credibility.

Meanwhile, millions of users are flocking to Bluesky, a decentralized alternative, which gained over a million new users in just 24 hours. However, Bluesky’s 16 million users remain a fraction of X’s audience.

The departures highlight growing dissatisfaction with X and concerns about the platform’s role in enabling misinformation ahead of Trump’s administration.
