Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James joined other Democrats who fled X (formerly Twitter) after Kamala Harris lost the election.
LeBron announced that he is leaving social in a tweet on X (formerly Twitter).
“And with that said I’ll holla at y’all! Getting off social media for the time being. Y’all take care,” he tweeted on Wednesday morning.
And with that said I’ll holla at y’all! Getting off social media for the time being. Y’all take care ???

Before departing X, LeBron shared a screenshot from Rich Kleiman that read:
“With so much hate and negativity in the world today, it confuses me why some national sports media still think that the best way to cover sports is through negative takes. We can all acknowledge that sports is the last part of society that universally brings us together. So why can’t the coverage do the same? It’s only Click bait when you say it. When the platform is so big, you can make the change and allow us all and escape from real life negativity. I for one find it all a waste of breath. The Olympics and JJ and Bron show with the future of what this can and should all be.”
Other celebrities who have fled X for Bluesky social media app are Gabrielle Union, Jamie Lee Curtis and Don Lemon. Bluesky announced it had surpassed over 20 million users.
Some fans were happy to see LeBron go.
MJ, Magic, Bird & Kobe never took breaks from social media when they were playing because they could handle criticism unlike you, LeBorn. If you’re such a good player, how come you’ve lost 6 NBA Finals? Checkmate, Bronsexuals.
