« Social media can be an important tool for news organisations and help us to reach new audiences but at this point X now plays a diminished role in promoting our work. Our journalism is available and open to all on our website and we would prefer people to come to theguardian.com and support our work there » the Guardian said.
Responding to the announcement, Musk posted on X that the Guardian was « irrelevant » and a « laboriously vile propaganda machine ».
Last year National Public Radio (NPR), the non-profit US media organisation, stopped posting on X after the social media platform labelled it as « state-affiliated media ». PBS, a US public TV broadcaster, suspended its posts for the same reason.
This month the Berlin film festival said it was quitting X, without citing an official reason, and last month the North Wales police force said it had stopped using X because it was « no longer consistent with our values ».
In August the Royal National orthopaedic hospital said it was leaving X, citing an « increased volume of hate speech and abusive commentary » on the platform.
