“God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change. Courage to change the things I can. And the wisdom to know the difference,” she wrote in the post, in reference to the oft-cited Serenity Poem, attributed to 20th century theologian Reinhold Niebuhr.

The move comes just hours after Donald Trump revealed he had asked Musk to lead his new Department of Government Efficiency, which will be tasked with slashing government bureaucracy and regulations.

Earlier in the day, the UK’s Guardian newspaper announced it would no longer post content on X, calling the social media platform “toxic” for the prevalence of conspiracy theories and for its owner’s ability to use it to “shape political discourse.”

Other media and entertainment orgs and personalities announcing their departure from X in recent days have included the Berlin Film Festival, which said last week it would be quitting the platform on December 31, 2024.

Jamie Lee Curtis and Don Lemon quit X, formerly Twitter: 'Time for me to leave'
Big-name X users including "The Bear" star Jamie Lee Curtis, former CNN anchor Don Lemon and newspaper The Guardian are leaving Elon Musk's platform.

Don Lemon officially leaves Elon Musk's X
Former CNN anchor Don Lemon said on Wednesday he is leaving Elon Musk's X, a decision made less than a year after X announced that "The Don Lemon Show" would appear on the social media platform three times a week. Lemon pointed to X's updated terms of service, which kicks in on Friday and states that all disputes with the company must be handled in a northern Texas court. "As The Washington Post recently reported on X's decision to change the terms, this 'ensures that such lawsuits will be heard in courthouses that are a hub for conservatives, which experts say could make it easier for X to shield itself from litigation and punish critics,'" said Lemon in a statement posted on X.
