So, how many of you use X? Let us guess, all of you, right? Well, we don’t blame you, it is a pretty addictive platform once you get a knack for it. We mean, Elon Musk did a pretty great job with the application. From sharing personal moments to expressing our thoughts X has it all. So, why Sir Nick Faldo and his wife Lady Lindsay Faldo have decided to delete their X accounts by the end of this week? They have their reasons.

In the latest post by Sir Nick and Lindsay Lady Faldo, the legendary couple shared that they have decided to say goodbye to the one app that kept them close to their followers. This decision comes because of the increasing presence of explicit content, violent images, disturbing videos, and aggressive language, which they believe is unhealthy for everyone.

“After many years of having accounts on what is now known as “X,” we have decided to remove our personal accounts from the platform and will do so by the end of the week”, read the tweet that they posted, which is now deleted. They also took a moment to thank, X’s owner Elon Musk, and his contribution to society as the said application. “While we appreciate the free speech forum that the brilliant Elon Musk has encouraged and developed, we feel the growing number of posts with overly explicit content, including violent images, disturbing videos, and aggressive language, is not of interest to us or healthy for anyone to experience”, continued the post.

The couple will continue to stay active on other social platforms, and their business accounts will continue to run as usual on X. But do other people think the same about the application? Well, it’s really subjective honestly. Some people may find X better than other social platforms, and some may not. As per Wall Street Journal reports, Elon Musk bought Twitter for $44 billion and rebranded it as X. This buy-out was deemed the worst merger-finance deal for banks since the 2008-09 financial crisis. But will this be the end of their social media presence? No, certainly not!

The Faldos will stay connected through alternative platforms

Despite leaving X, the Faldos will maintain their business-related accounts on the platform. These accounts include Faldo Design (their golf course design enterprise), Faldo Farm (documenting their farming activities in Montana), and the Faldo Series (a charitable organization for junior golf). This will enable them to continue sharing updates and engaging with followers in a professional capacity.

Sir Nick and Lindsay will also remain active on other social media platforms, including LinkedIn, Facebook, TikTok, and Instagram. Fans and supporters can stay connected with the couple through these channels, where they will share updates on their personal and professional endeavors. The Faldos reside on their farm in Eureka, Montana, following Sir Nick’s retirement from CBS broadcasting in 2022. They tied the knot in December 2020 in the Florida Keys.
