While some celebrities vowed to leave the platform, believing Musk will polarize the society, allowing hateful comments on Twitter feeds, others have come forward in favour of Musk. One such high-profile Canadian actor that has decided to stay on Twitter is Star Trek’s Captain James Kirk (real name William Shatner).
