Amber Heard appears to have deleted her Twitter account, just days after Elon Musk’s controversial takeover.
The Tesla founder finally closed his $44billion takeover of the social media platform last week, and promptly set about announcing a string of changes.
In the wake of the move, a string of famous faces announced their plans to leave the platform, including Shonda Rhimes and Mick Foley.
Amber, who previously posted under the handle @realamberheard, is no longer visible on the microblogging site, sparking speculation that she has followed suit.
Instead, a message on her former page reads: ‘This account doesn’t exist. Try searching for another.’
According to reports, the account went down earlier today, but the reason behind this has not been made clear.

Amber, who has taken a step back from the spotlight after losing her highly-publicized court battle against Johnny Depp, has not spoken publicly about the changes to her account.
Her Instagram is currently still visible but has not been updated it since June 1.
The Aquaman actress was previously in a relationship with the billionaire businessman for around a year, before he started dating musician Grimes.

He is now the sole board member and has suggested a raft of changes to the social media platform since his arrival, including a highly condemned subscription service for verified users.
‘Twitter’s current lords & peasants system for who has or doesn’t have a blue checkmark is bulls**t. Power to the people! Blue for $8/month,’ he tweeted earlier this week.
‘Price adjusted by country proportionate to purchasing power parity.
‘You will also get: – Priority in replies, mentions & search, which is essential to defeat spam/scam – Ability to post long video & audio – Half as many ads. And paywall bypass for publishers willing to work with us.

‘This will also give Twitter a revenue stream to reward content creators.’
Twitter Blue currently costs $4.99 per month and allows subscribers to edit or undo tweets in some countries, read articles without ads and customize the navigation bar.
A number of stars had previously voiced their plans to step back from the platform following Musk’s arrival.
‘Not hanging around for whatever Elon has planned. Bye,’ Shonda Rhimes penned.

Toni Braxton also confirmed her exit, penning: ‘I’m shocked and appalled at some of the “free speech” I’ve seen on this platform since its acquisition.
WWE star Mick Foley took to Facebook to share his thoughts, but revealed that he could be back in the future.
‘I decided I needed a @twitter break, since the new ownership – and the misinformation and hate it seems to be encouraging – has my stomach in a knot,’ he said in a post titled ‘Taking a break’.
‘I really do enjoy connecting with all of you on social media, but it can get overwhelming sometimes. I think I’ll be back on in a few weeks, but in the meantime, I will continue to post on Facebook and Instagram.

‘I hope all of you will be kind to one another. Please vote if you can too – our democracy seems to be hanging on by a thread.’
On the flip side, George Takei insisted that he would be sticking around amid the changes, vowing to remain a beacon of positivity.
‘I’m not going anywhere. Should this place become more toxic, I pledge to strive even harder to lift up reason, science, compassion and the rule of law,’ he said.
‘The struggle against fascism, misinformation, and hate requires tough fighters. I hope you stay in the fight, right beside me.’
