Some high-profile Twitter users say they're done with the platform after its deal with Elon Musk, but most don't appear to be going anywhere

As the news broke that Musk had reached a deal to buy the micro-blogging site, several hashtags suggested that a user exodus was on the way.

Users tagged their posts with #Good Bye, or talked about leaving the platform, in order to poke fun at liberals who didn't like Musk's approach to free speech.

Some high-profile users indicated that they would be stepping away from their accounts.

One good thing about buying Twitter is that I will finally leave and stop being a menace to society here. Actress Jameela Jamil told her 1 million followers that it was a win for them.

I followed up with a photo of her and her dog.

Others, like post-doctoral researcher, said they would be staying engaged with the platform while it becomes clear what changes will ultimately take shape under Musk's ownership.

She said that if all the decent people leave, it will get bad here a lot faster.

If she had a dollar for everyone who said they would leave, she could buy a car.

Within minutes of the deal becoming public, the CEO of Fisker, a US-based electric-vehicle maker, went dark.

According to EV, Fisker requested that he be followed on IG from now on if he wanted to get updates.
