Renowned for his takeover of Twitter, Elon Musk, which is now known as X, has been making headlines due to his witty and sarcastic social media posts.
Recently, he took another swipe at Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, suggesting that he should alter Facebook’s name. Musk claimed to have numerous ideas for the new website.
The business magnate and investor, Elon Musk, who owns companies like Tesla, SpaceX, and X, has once again turned his attention to Facebook.
He publicly declared that he would offer one billion dollars to Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Meta, in exchange for changing the platform’s name.
Musk’s statement was in response to a post by the BabylonBee, a parody news site, which quoted him as offering $1 billion to Zuckerberg to rebrand the social media platform.
Musk further emphasized his point by endorsing the name suggested in the parody news article, stating, “It would be a much better name!”
What is the problem here?
It is important to note that Musk frequently makes statements and posts things on social media that are rarely controversial over time. Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk have been trolls and having discussions for a long time. Currently, Musk is advising Zuckerberg to rename Facebook in exchange for a large payment to Meta’s head from Tesla’s owner.
The BabylonBee reports that Elon Musk suggested that Mark rename Facebook to “Faceboob.”
