Balenciaga has become one of the first major fashion brands to leave Twitter amid concern over Elon Musk's takeover

Balenciaga has become one of the first major fashion brands to leave Twitter amid concerns about the platform's future under Elon Musk.

Representatives for Balenciaga confirmed to Vogue on Monday that the company's Twitter account had been removed but did not comment publicly on the reasons behind the decision. 

The brand follows the departure of several celebrities and public figures, including Shonda Rhimes and Gigi Hadid, who have expressed concerns over Musk's leadership.

Concerns over content moderation and a rise in hate speech are some of the common reasons cited by those choosing to abandon the platform.
