On Thursday, prominent atheist and disgraced member of the Intellectual Dark Web Sam Harris deleted his Twitter account.
The move comes after the Waking Up podcast host was slammed for stating that he hated Trump to such an extent that he wouldn’t have cared if Hunter Biden “had the corpses of children in his basement” in the lead up to the 2020 election.
Human Events Daily host Jack Posobiec lit up Harris back in August of 2022 over his Never-Trump derangement and enthusiasm for censorship

When users click on @SamHarrisOrg’s profile, a message pops up stating that, “This account doesn’t exist.” All the tweets and replies he sent are also gone, with only those screenshotted by other users still on the site.
Checked in with Sam. He did it himself.
I gotta admit, my model of many things needs a tune up.
I logged quite a few hours in conversation with @SamHarrisOrg from 2016-2019. They are not helping me to predict Sam in last couple years.

Eric Weinstein, a longtime friend and frequent podcast guest of Harris’, said that he had checked in and confirmed that the account was deleted of his own volition. He, likely many, pointed out that Harris’ tone had shifted after 2020.
Sam Harris could have regained my esteem and that of many of his compatriots by exhibiting intellectual humility; by engaging those who challenged his positions. In several acts of childish insolence, he broke friendships, doubled down, and exhibited astounding pomposity.

Gad Saad suggested that Harris’ decision to leave Twitter was just the latest in a string of “acts of childish insolence,” where he “broke friendships, doubled down, and exhibited astounding pomposity.”
It appears that Elon Musk restoring free speech to Twitter was just too much for poor Harris, a once respected man whose Trump Derangement Syndrome led him to celebrate censorship of the free press.
