Following Elon Musk’s acquisition of the social media platform in late October.
Balenciaga has joined the likes of Dyson and Gigi Hadid as the latest big names to leave Twitter after Elon Musk arrived at the helm. Users and stakeholders of the platform are also questioning the Tesla founder’s strategic decisions and implementation plans as he started his reign with a mass layoff of employees. Amongst his plans is focusing on free speech and minimising content moderation on the site.
Although this move by Balenciaga seems a little self-destructive for the fashion house, Business of Fashion has reported that brands are relying less and less on Twitter to create buzz and anticipation. With that being said, Demna’s Balenciaga is never short of discussions and Twitter threads.
