Elon Musk Takes A Dig At Instagram & Business Insider On X

Published by

In a recent turn of events, Elon Musk, the founder, chairman, CEO, and Chief Technology Officer at X, formerly known as Twitter, recently created a buzz within the realm of social media platforms and media groups as he recently shared posts via his X handle, taking a dig at some of the most significant media tech giants such as Instagram and Business Insider.

Musk posted his views on the matter today, November 27, stirring up speculation among the platform’s users.

Musk, being one of the most prominent characters on Social Media, has the potential to bring about major shifts within the industry following his remarks.

Musk’s X Post

Musk’s first X post that caught the eyes of users on the platform was a repost from DogeDesigner, Dogecoin’s UX/UI graphics designer. The post claimed that Instagram, a globally leading social media application, displays overtly sexual adult content to teens.

Moreover, as reported by the Wall Street Journal, the app’s algorithm serves up risky footage of kids, overtly sexual adult content, and ads from major brands next to each other. Numerous significant brands have had their advertisements displayed next to questionable content on reels.

While reposting DogeDesigner’s post, Musk further added his remarks on the matter, stating “What say you, big brands?”.

Apart from this, another post by Elon Musk caught the eyes of users on the platform. As per this post, he again reposted an X post from Gail Alfar, author and technical writer at SpaceX and Tesla.

In Alfar’s post, the author posted a screenshot of his conversation with Grok, an Artificial Intelligence chatbot backed by Elon Musk himself. Alfar asked Grok for an honest opinion of Business Insider in a vulgar and heavily trolling manner, to which Grok replied astonishingly.

Grok’s reply was shared by Alfar on X, along with his own sentiments on the matter, where he claimed the reply to be satisfying. Interestingly, Musk reposted Alfar’s X post, portraying his sarcastic reaction to the matter.

X’s Ongoing Chronicle Against Media Groups

The recent trolling of Instagram and Business Insider comes not long after the X platform decided to file a lawsuit against Media Matters For America. In its recent chronicle against media groups, Musk portrayed his sentiments revolving around the freedom of speech and its applicability on social media platforms.

Furthermore, Musk seems to be expressing his concerns over the matter, as X was recently blamed for displaying ads next to antisemitic content on the platform. Moving ahead, Musk seems to be challenging the display of unethical content on any social media platform following its recent chronicle.
