Celebs dumping their X accounts for Bluesky

Elon Musk's efforts to get Donald Trump elected may have worked at the ballot box, but they aren't working out well on X. Celebrities like Jamie Lee Curtis, Bette Midler, and Lizzo have all deleted their accounts. Many are making the jump to Bluesky, a relatively new social platform. (Just so it's known, you can follow me on both X and Bluesky.. because I like attention.) The mass exodus doesn't seem to be affecting Musk, who looked happy next to Trump and Joe Rogan this weekend at a UFC fight. While the three of them were taking in a fight, Saturday Night Live was throwing their own kind of punches at Trump in their cold open, mocking Trump's latest picks for his cabinet (a decision process Musk has reportedly been part of).

Here's what else is poppin' in the world of pop culture...

That's it for me today. Keep scrolling for more entertainment news.
