ACL Live at the Moody Theater
Cross Out X
RECEIVED Tue., Feb. 18, 2025
Dear Editor,
I love the Chronicle and carve out Thursday mornings as often as I can to get a coffee and read the new issue.
I have noticed a lot of harsh criticism of Elon Musk, who deserves it and a whole lot more. Yet the Chronicle continues to use X. The more people and businesses that use his platform, the more power he has. Why rip him while also helping him line his pockets?
Please be a leader in discontinuing the use of X. The bots will be fine without you.

Managing Editor James Renovitch responds: This has been an ongoing topic of discussion among the editorial staff. While we have moved to Bluesky for those looking for a Musk-less alternative, we also believe our content serves to help balance coverage on X. No social media site is perfect, but part of our mission is to reach as many people with our stories as possible. That includes X ... for now.
