Elon Musk Announced He¡¯s Leaving Twitter For ¡®A While¡¯, And No One Knows Why
It looks like it will be some time we hear Musk on the microblogging platform again as he today announced that he¡¯s leaving Twitter for a while¡¯.
Whenever we think about Elon Musk, the first thing that comes to our mind, after his eccentricities of course is his love for sharing whatever he feels on the microblogging platform Twitter.

Whether it¡¯s something that¡¯s inspirational, impactful or at times downright lame and hilarious, Musk's tweets come in all shapes and sizes. However, it looks like it will be some time we hear Musk on the microblogging platform again as he today announced that he¡¯s leaving Twitter for 'a while¡¯.
He just tweeted ¡°Off Twitter for a while¡± at 3:45 AM ET or around 2:13 PM IST. He didn¡¯t share anything apart from this, which was rather strange, nor did he reveal when he¡¯d be back.
Twitter: Elon Musk
The richest man on the planet, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index has recently created a massive impact on a variety of things just by a single tweet on his Twitter handle -- whether it was encouraging users to quit using Facebook, or even WhatsApp by recommending them to switch to Signal.
However, he is also known to move financial markets with his tweets. Just last week, when Bitcoins slowed down its exponential growth throughout December and January (bringing the value upwards $35,000 and then down to around $31,000 in January), he merely added #bitcoin to his bio on Twitter which caused a massive surge of over 12 percent.
In fact, we¡¯ve also seen Musk promote Dogecoin which also resulted in the cryptocurrency to rise as high as 80 percent over their previous value.
This silence couldn¡¯t come at a worse timing as just yesterday, Musk revealed some rather interesting advancements surrounding SpaceX in a Clubhouse session where according to him, humans could reach Mars as early as over five years from now.

He also spoke about his brain implant technology Neuralink and how they¡¯re currently testing out its effectiveness on monkeys where they¡¯re playing video games in their mind.
Moreover, SpaceX today announced that it will be sending four civilians to space aboard the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft by the end of 2021.
