“This account doesn’t exist,” the message appeared as the fans tried to search for the Twitter handle of Heard.

Representatives of the Hollywood actor were not immediately available for comment.

For the uninitiated, Musk and Heard were in a romantic relationship in 2016 following the latter’s split with ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ star, Johnny Depp. The celebrities went public with their romance the following year.

About the acquisition, Musk took control of the social site Twitter on October 28, in a deal that puts one of the leading platforms for global discourse in the hands of the world’s richest man.
