Since announcing plans to cease posting on X (formerly Twitter) earlier this month, “The Young and the Restless” star Eric Braeden (Victor Newman) has followed up on his promise by going even further. Braeden has officially deactivated his account altogether.

With his exit from X, Braeden is now posting exclusively on Instagram (including Facebook and Threads) and Bluesky, the new platform of choice for those defecting from X (formerly Twitter) following the U.S. presidential election and the Elon Musk-infused slant of the platform.

In a post on Instagram on Tuesday, Braeden shared a screenshot of the “Your account is deactivated” message he received from the platform upon completing the task. 

“Not going to support this MAGA CRAP!!” said Braeden in response to questions from followers on why he came to his conclusion. 

“Bye Felicia” commented Braeden in a similar post shared on Bluesky.

Braeden, who is leaving behind his more than 190,000 followers at X, had previously said, “Since this billionaire bought TWITTER, I can’t abide the brazen looting of America by his billionaire buddies!” Further, “[Musk] wants to cut the budget by 2 trillion dollars; where do you think that’s come from? From SOCIAL PROGRAMS, like SOCIAL SECURITY, MEDICARE, MEDICAID, AFFORDABLE CARE ACT, while giving huge tax cuts to BILLIONAIRES!!” 

Braeden’s comments on the U.S. government programs were in reference to President-elect Donald J. Trump’s recently naming Musk and businessman Vivek Ramaswamy as the leaders of what’s being called the Department of Government Efficiency (“DOGE”). The non-government agency will reportedly “dismantle Government Bureaucracy, slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures, and restructure Federal Agencies – Essential to the ‘Save America’ Movement.” Additionally, it will “provide advice and guidance from outside of government, and will partner with the White House and Office of Management & Budget to drive large scale structural reform, and create an entrepreneurial approach to Government never before seen.”

Followers of Braeden on X who are searching for his previous posts are now met with the message, “This Post is from an account that no longer exists.”
