Reid, who had 1.9 million followers on the platform, cited her lack of recent activity and ownership concerns as reasons for leaving the platform, which is now under Elon Musk’s control.

“Today, I finally did something I’ve been meaning to do for a while,” Reid stated, showing screenshots of the account deletion process. “The reason for doing it and kissing goodbye my 1.9 million followers over there is because I haven’t been posting for a long time. I just didn’t want to contribute content once it was purchased by its present owner.”

Reid went on to say that she had initially kept the account to prevent someone else from taking her username and “using it for nefarious purposes.”

Her exit from X sparked questions about potential future issues, given that she had previously faced controversy over past blog posts on her personal blog, which contained allegedly antisemitic and homophobic content.

At the time, Reid claimed her blog was hacked, an investigation that reportedly did not yield a definitive culprit.

The move to delete her account comes just days after former Fox News host Megyn Kelly speculated that MSNBC might consider letting Reid go.

In her podcast, Kelly stated that “MSNBC is allowing her [Reid] to spew this racist hate on their channel,” adding, “It’s a tick-tock situation until her a– is fired.”

Kelly’s remarks follow Reid’s recent controversial commentary, where she suggested that Black and Hispanic Trump voters were “identifying with whiteness” by supporting the former president.

Ratings for MSNBC have shown a notable decline since Trump’s victory in the recent presidential election.

Since Election Day, the network has experienced a 53% drop in prime-time viewership, while Fox News has reported a 21% increase in prime-time viewership.

MSNBC ratings have cratered by 50%. They are hemorrhaging viewers. Comcast may sell it off.

Can’t imagine why this is happening.

These shifts have led to speculation about potential programming changes at MSNBC as it seeks to regain its audience.

Reid’s X departure has raised questions about whether her role at MSNBC is under review as the network faces ratings pressures and a shift in audience preferences.

The network has not issued any statements on Reid’s status or responded to Kelly’s recent remarks, leaving her future at MSNBC open to interpretation.

For now, Reid remains active on BlueSky, an alternative social media platform.

Her show’s official X account remains live, although Reid herself will no longer be using the platform.

The impact of her departure from X and any changes to her role at MSNBC remains to be seen as the network adjusts to evolving audience dynamics.
