Did NFL player Travis Kelce publicly say he would leave X, calling the platform a “hate
machine” and “toxic waste dump”? No, that’s not true: As of November 24, 2024, Kelce’s
account was still on the platform. An advanced search on X did not return any posts
supporting his supposed description of the platform. There are no credible reports that
confirm Kelce having made such a statement.
The claim appeared in a post on Facebook on November 18, 2024, that read:
NFLTravis Kelce announced that he’s leaving Elon Musk’s ‘Hate Machine’ X app, Calling it
a ‘Toxic waste dump’ after his Scathing and Hurtful comments about Taylor Swift
This is what the post looked like on Facebook at the time of writing:
At the time of writing, Kelce’s official X account was still on the platform. An advanced
keyword search on X revealed that none of his posts mention the platform being a “hate
machine” or a “toxic waste dump”
Lead Stories did a search using keywords on Google News, which found no credible
documents or reporting to confirm Kelce’s supposed exit from the platform
We also searched for keywords on Google that included “hate machine” and “toxic waste
dump”
. The results yielded copies of the claim across social media platforms. However, no
results supported the quote’s authenticity.
