Headline: John Cleese announces his departure from X

Caption:

The Monty Python star has been an avid poster on X, formerly known as Twitter, for many years, but he is now turning his back on the site and sharing his opinions on the subscription-based platform Substack. Announcing his exit, the 85-year-old told his 5.4 million followers on Tuesday. "Hello twits! I just want to say to all my beloved twits that I am moving to Substack because I think I will encounter a better class of person there." Referencing X owner Elon Musk, Cleese quipped, "And also, it's not owned by you know who."
