The Guardian will no longer post on Elon Musk’s X from its official accounts
Platform’s coverage of US election crystallised longstanding concerns about its content, says Guardian
Summary
The Guardian has announced it will stop posting on Elon Musk’s platform, X, citing "often disturbing content" such as far-right conspiracy theories and racism.
The news outlet, with 27 million followers across over 80 accounts, stated that the US presidential election coverage on X reinforced its view that the platform had become "toxic."
While The Guardian's official accounts will withdraw, reporters may still use X for newsgathering.
This move follows similar actions by NPR, PBS, and other organizations concerned about the platform’s content standards under Musk’s ownership.

I just love how we went from naming it "Twitter" to "Elon Musk's platform, X".
The intermediate step was “X, formerly known as Twitter”

I was kinda hoping it'd always stay like this.
Also a good one.
Xitter. Pronounced just the way you think.
