Who is Jameela Jamil? English actress quits Twitter after Elon Musk's $44 billion acquisition deal 

English actress Jameela Jamil has announced that she is leaving Twitter after news emerged that Elon Musk has bought the social media platform.

On April 25, the Tesla owner successfully purchased the social networking platform for around $44 billion. As a result, Twitter will be a privately held corporation.

Musk, the entrepreneur, invited his "worst critics" to stay on Twitter hours before the reveal.

Users of the site have reacted to the news of the sale, with some stating that they will be deleting their accounts.

Former The Good Place actor and presenter Jamil announced her intention to leave the platform as well, citing concerns about how the climate would alter under Musk's control.

She concluded her post to her fans by uploading four images of herself with her pet dog.

Jameela Jamil concluded her farewell address by expressing concern that Musk's projected bid to promote free expression might result in even more negative behavior on the platform. She had previously stated that if Musk's purchase was successful, she would quit her use of the site.

Musk became Twitter's largest shareholder earlier this year, purchasing a 9.2 percent stake in the firm.

Twitter's Independent Board Chair, Bret Taylor, stated:

"The Twitter Board conducted a thoughtful and comprehensive process to assess Elon's proposal with a deliberate focus on value, certainty, and financing. The proposed transaction will deliver a substantial cash premium, and we believe it is the best path forward for Twitter's stockholders."

However, only last month, the world's richest man went a step further and offered $54.20 per share to gain complete ownership.
