Electric vehicle designer Henrik Fisker’s Twitter account vanished shortly after the social media company announced it was accepting a $44 billion buyout from Tesla CEO Elon Musk.
The Fisker CEO, whose resume includes a stint working with Tesla, said in a tweet last week that his 86,000 followers should look for him on Instagram for future updates, without providing additional details. Shortly after that, the Twitter account returned an error message saying it no longer exists.
While Fisker didn’t explicitly say his move was related to Musk’s deal, it wouldn’t be surprising given their fraught relationship over more than a decade.
His eponymous car company, one of a number of EV startups looking to challenge market leader Tesla, aims to put a plug-in SUV into production this year.
The company didn’t respond to requests from Bloomberg for comment.
