đ¨BREAKING NEWS: Travis Kelce Quits Elon Muskâs X App, Calls It a âToxic Dumping Groundâ Over Taylor Swift Hate
Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce has officially announced that heâs leaving Elon Muskâs X (formerly Twitter), citing the platformâs âtoxic environmentâ and relentless attacks on his girlfriend, Taylor Swift. The decision comes after weeks of harsh and hurtful comments directed at Swift, with Kelce calling out the negativity and misinformation that has plagued their relationship online.

In a candid statement, Kelce didnât hold back his frustration over the increasingly hostile culture on X.
âIâm done with it. X has become a toxic dumping ground, and I donât need that kind of energy in my life. Itâs disappointing to see how people tear others down, especially someone as incredible as Taylor.â
Kelceâs departure from the platform comes amid ongoing social media attacks targeting Swift, including criticism of her appearances at Chiefs games, conspiracy theories about their relationship, and baseless claims about her influence on the NFL.

Elon Muskâs management of X has already been under scrutiny for allowing unchecked harassment and misinformation to spread across the platform. Critics argue that hate speech and cyberbullying have flourished under Muskâs leadership, with high-profile users like Kelce now abandoning ship in response to the appâs toxic culture.
Fans Rally Behind Kelce & Swift
Following Kelceâs announcement, fans flooded social media with messages of support, praising the NFL star for prioritizing mental health and standing up for Swift. Many are now calling on Musk to address the rampant hate culture on X or risk losing more high-profile users.
