A screenshot from Ms Heard’s Twitter handle (RealAmberHeard) posted by the YouTuber shows a message saying “This account does not exist”.
It is unclear when or why Ms Heard deleted her account, or the reasons surrounding the deactivation. She became the latest celebrity to leave the stage last week. Others include Toni Braxton, actress Shonda Rhimes and retired professional wrestler Mick Foley, according to NBC News.
Amber Heard was in a relationship with Elon Musk between 2016 and 2018 after her divorce from actor Johnny Depp. Earlier this year, she lost a defamation suit against the Pirates of the Caribbean actor and was ordered by the court to pay her $10.35 million.
Mr Musk was expected to testify at trial, but did not take the stand, either in person or virtually.
Her past relationship with the billionaire has sparked speculation, with many Twitter users questioning whether it was linked to her acquisition of the platform.
“Hmm looks like no one wanted their ex boyfriend to have access to their accounts and DMs,” Morgan Tremaine tweetedA former TMZ employee who testified in Ms. Heard’s court battle against Mr. Depp.
However, other users commented that Mr Musk would likely still have access to Ms Heard’s account.
