After Elon Musk bought Twitter, Amber Heard’s account disappeared a few days later. This occurs after Mr. Musk took control of the social media platform, which led to a lot of celebrities deleting their accounts.
Following the $44 billion acquisition of the platform by the Tesla CEO last week, major changes have been made, including the removal of the board of directors, the firing of top executives, the hiring of Tesla employees, and the announcement of a $8 verification fee in exchange for a blue tick next to your handle’s name.
YouTuber Matthew Lewis, better known as That Umbrella Guy, was the one to detect Ms. Heard’s account had disappeared when he tweeted on Wednesday, “Amber Heard has deleted her Twitter.”
This account doesn’t exist, according to the YouTuber’s screenshot of Ms. Heard’s Twitter account (RealAmberHeard).

When Ms. Heard deleted her account and the circumstances behind its deactivation are unknown. She is now the most recent famous person to quit the platform in the last week. According to NBC News, the others are former professional wrestler Mick Foley, singer Toni Braxton, and actress Shonda Rhimes.
After splitting from actor Johnny Depp in 2016, Amber Heard dated Elon Musk from 2016 to 2018. She lost a defamation action against the Pirates of the Caribbean actor earlier this year, and the judge ordered her to pay him $10.35 million.
Although Mr. Musk was supposed to testify throughout the trial, he chose not to do so either in person or remotely.
Many Twitter users have questioned whether her previous relationship with the billionaire is connected to his takeover of the social media platform due to the rumours surrounding it.
Morgan Tremaine, a former TMZ staffer who testified at Ms. Heard’s legal battle with Mr. Depp, tweeted, “Hmm looks like someone didn’t want their ex-boyfriend to have access to their account and DMs.”
Other commenters, though, made the observation that Mr. Musk would probably still have access to Ms. Heard’s account.
