Amber Heard’s Twitter account has suspiciously disappeared after her ex Elon Musk took over the social media giant.
The Tesla CEO bought the company for around $44 billion (£38 million) after months of speculation and negotiations.
He has already caused controversy as the head of Twitter as he has fired many from the board, with many more sackings expected to come, reports Sky News.
It’s believed a number of offices have already been closed and many employees will find out their future in the company on November 4.
Those who are losing their jobs will find out by a message sent to their personal email account, while those who are keeping their jobs will find out by a message sent to their work email account.

Musk’s takeover of the company has forced some people, including high-profile celebrities, to boycott Twitter and stop using it, reports CBS.
It’s unknown if Heard is boycotting the social media site too since she has not said anything publicly, however, fans have noticed her account has vanished.
The Aquaman star dated Musk from 2016 to 2017 and some have speculated that the actress didn’t want her ex to be in control of her social media profile.

Morgan Tremaine, a former TMZ employee who testified against Heard during her highly publicised defamation trial against Johnny Depp, certainly believes this is the case.
He tweeted: “Hmm looks like someone didn’t want their ex-boyfriend to have access to their account and DMs.”
It seems most people in the comments agree with him, with one replying: “Certainly looks that way. But as we all know just deleting doesn’t mean it can’t be retrieved.”
Another user added: “If that was her reason, the jokes on her. There is no WAY simply deleting the account gets rid of that history.”
“It doesn’t stop… What goes on the internet stays on the internet – nothing is ever really deleted,” commented a third person.
The Justice League actress has been publicly discussed for a large portion of this year due to her court case against Depp, which was live-streamed for six weeks.

The Pirates of the Caribbean star sued his ex-wife for $50 million over an op-ed titled ‘I spoke up against sexual violence – and faced our culture’s wrath. That has to change’.
Although it didn’t specifically name Depp, he argued the piece implied he abused her.
Heard then countersued her ex-husband for $100 million after she accused the actor of leading a ‘smear campaign’ against her.
After a six-week trial, that started in April and concluded in June, the jury decided that Heard did defame Depp and he won the case.
The Edward Scissorhands star was awarded $10 million (£8 million) in compensation and $5 million (£4.3 million) in punitive damages.
However, Heard was awarded $2 million (£1.6 million) for her counterclaim against Depp.
