Guns N’ Roses, etc. guitar legend Slash has announced his exit from the social media platform X (previously Twitter.) While numerous artists have left the platform in protest of owner Elon Musk in more recent times, Slash‘s departure instead stems from repeated security issues he has faced with the program. In a statement shared yesterday (April 08th) via the platform, he stated:
“I’d like to inform you that I’ve decided to step away from Twitter/X and will no longer be active on the platform. This was a considered decision after repeated hacks, and it reflects a shift in how I’d like to stay connected moving forward.
You can still find me on Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook where I’ll be posting regular updates.
iiiil; )”
