Editor-in-Chief Peter Wolodarski outlines changes under Elon Musk's leadership as the reason.

– Since Elon Musk took over, the platform has increasingly merged with his own and Donald Trump's political ambitions, while the climate on X has become more harsh and extreme. Therefore, we will not currently publish anything there from our official accounts, he says.

DN is thus following in the footsteps of Aftonbladet, which left the platform already last year. At the same time, other Swedish media such as SvD and Dagens ETC choose to stay.

DN's announcement came shortly after the British The Guardian announced that they were leaving X for similar reasons.
