Jason Alexander, the 65-year-old actor best known for portraying the hapless George Costanza in Seinfeld, has rage quit X, formerly Twitter, following President-elect Donald J. Trump’s victory over Vice President Kamala Harris on November 5. Alexander joins several left-liberal public figures and organizations to have exited the platform, whose owner, Elon Musk, campaigned for Trump, in a fit of pique following the election.
“Well, everyone that cares… I am leaving this platform permanently. I will post this and then delete my account. For those who enjoy me, Im on Insta, Threads, and BlueSky [sic],” he wrote, referring to the X alternative set up by Jack Dorsey.
“I wish you all well. Take care and be good to each other. Best wishes always,” he added.
While some exiles from X have left their accounts dormant, leaving the option of returning open, Alexander deleted his entirely shortly after announcing his departure—perhaps irked by the flood of George Costanza memes and messages thanking him for “self-deporting” that the announcement prompted.
He had been heavily invested in the Democratic election campaign, fundraising for the party through the ActBlue platform, only to see it lose the White House, House of Representatives, and Senate to Trump.
