Elton John , who recently announced hes retiring from performing concerts in the U.S. , said Friday that hes also quitting Twitter .

And Twitter owner Elon Musk isnt thrilled about it.

The legendary pianist tweeted he was leaving the social platform because of misinformation:

Musk tried to keep the door open for the Goodbye Yellow Brick Road superstar to change his mind.

Hope you come back, Musk tweeted.

Then, in a strange aside, the worlds richest person asked what particular misinformation John found so bothersome.

Since Musk took over Twitter in late October, hes eliminated a policy that allowed Twitter staff to remove potentially harmful and misleading information about the coronavirus.

Hes also allowed people who were previously suspended for spreading COVID misinformation, including extremist Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), back on the platform.

Even if Musk doesnt get why the current state of Twitter might not appeal to John or others, plenty of Twitter users were happy to fill in the blanks.
