Paris, France - January 20, 2025 Around 30,000 people have moved their X account to Mastodon or BlueSky through the French platform HelloQuitX on Monday, due to the inauguration of Donald Trump as president of the United States with tycoon Elon Musk at the head of the Department of Government Efficiency, the initiative confirmed. Camera: EDGAR SAPIÑA MANCHADO. FOOTAGE OF THE PREPARATION OF THE 'HELLOQUITX' ORGANIZATION, WHICH PROPOSES A MASSIVE EXIT OF X, COINCIDING WITH THE INAUGURATION OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, DONALD TRUMP, AND IMAGES OF THE X, BLUESKY AND MASTODON PLATFORMS. STATEMENTS BY DAVID CHAVALARIAS, BENOÎT PIÉDALLU AND MAGALI PAYEN, FOUNDERS OF 'HELLOQUITX'. TRANSLATION: 1. David Chavalarias “Mastodon and BlueSky social networks are very interesting because these are the new generation of social networks. They allow more things for the user, but also for research, because you can see more things and build more things.” 2. Benoît Piédallu “In the end, staying there allows you to do the punching ball to the extreme right, that is... messages posted by Marine Tondelier (leader of the ecologist party), Sandrine Rousseau (politician of the same party) or whoever and you have dozens of tweets, hundreds of tweets, absolutely abominable insults from people. We call it a pool of shit.” 3. Magali Payen “From the moment Elon Musk bought X, in fact won the battle of opinion on X, the debate on X is already lost, so in fact, if you have an opposing opinion to Elon Musk, the debate is already lost.” [Restrictions: Spain, Latin America, or the U.S. Hispanic market]
