Twitter account
, now known as X, this Thursday with a call to
boycott Elon Musk's social network
.
Before the door slammed, the former deputy accused the businessman, a supporter of Javier Milei, of promoting the spread of hate messages.
"That world leaders, journalists, scientists, intellectuals, use this armed and directed den as an Agora of information and public debate to undermine democracy and the republic is nonsense. End for me," said the journalist.
However, he clarified that communication will continue through other means.
"We will read in some other space," Cerruti posted minutes before leaving Twitter. In fact, minutes later, it continued to be downloaded by X. Before the end, however, it had already been posted at length on the former bird network .
In that intervention, the former presidential spokesperson questioned the functioning of Twitter, with the acquisition by Elon Musk as a turning point.
He said that "today it is used as if it were a communication tool of which we were owners and the truth is that no, it is a constructed agora, it is a medium that has an owner with a certain vision of the world, who has economic interests, a ideology".
Gabriela Cerruti decided to close her X account due to differences with Elon Musk.
Cerruti assured that it seems "nonsense" that people who do not share Musk's liberal and "far-right" ideology continue to "feed" X's platform with their messages.
Already completely migrated to Instagram, she added considerations through some stories.
In one of them she overwrote a photo of Musk's praise for the speech Milei gave at the Davos Forum.
In that message, the journalist called for a boycott against the social network: she asked that users leave it "before psychopaths dominate the world."
The businessman wrote “So hot right now” with Milei's speech, under the metaphor that he preferred to look and listen to the President before having a sexual relationship, which once again generated the approval of the Argentine president.
During Alberto Fernández's administration, Cerruti had clashes with journalists and other personalities in the conferences he gave at Casa Rosada and then followed the criticism of X. This time, due to differences with the owner of the platform, he decided to end his participation in the network. social.
Gabriela Cerruti called on humanity to boycott X.
She had her account since at least December 2010. But with the appointment of Alberto Fernández as official spokesperson, she had opened another profile, Portavoz_Ar, for institutional management.
However, he also used his personal account for government communications.
He did it, for example, in October 2022 at the beginning of Big Brother fever.
She was moved by a dialogue from Alfa, the most controversial character of that edition of the reality show, in which she claimed to know Fernández and characterized him in a playful tone.
Through his personal account, Cerruti clarified that "the President has no information about this person nor does he remember having met him" and made public a request for Telefé and the production of Big Brother to retract and cease "this offending attitude."
This intervention by the spokesperson caused a small communication crisis in Fernández's management.
