Amber Heard Twitter Profile Disappears Following Ex-Elon Musk’s Takeover

Amber Heard's Twitter account vanished days later after Elon Musk took over the social media platform. This occurs after Musk took control of the social media platform, which led to a number of celebrities deleting their accounts.

Following the $44 billion acquisition of the platform by the Tesla CEO last week, major changes have been made, including the removal of the board of directors, firing of the top executives, management changes, and the announcement of an $8 verification fee in exchange for a blue tick next to your handle's name.

YouTuber Matthew Lewis, also known online as That Umbrella Guy, was the first to notice Heard's account being vanished. He tweeted about it on Wednesday, "Amber Heard has deleted her Twitter."

After splitting from actor Johnny Depp in 2016, Amber Heard dated Elon Musk from 2016 to 2018. She lost a defamation case against the Pirates of the Caribbean actor earlier this year, and the judge ordered her to pay him $10.35 million. At the trial, Musk was supposed to testify, but he chose not to do so, either in person or virtually.

Many Twitter users have questioned whether her previous relationship with the billionaire is connected to his takeover of the social media site due to the rumours surrounding it. Former TMZ employee Morgan Tremaine, who provided testimony during Heard's legal battle with Depp wrote," Hmm looks like someone didn't want their ex-boyfriend to have access to their account and DMs." Another user wrote, "I really want to believe that deleting Amber Heard's Twitter profile was one of the first things Elon asked about when he took over."
