Now his fans are assuming this recent dark mode change is probably due to his gaming side. Fans speculate that Musk, like many other gamers, prefers to keep his screen on dark mode to avoid strain on the eyes. While gamers have welcomed this move from Musk, some regular users are still wary of this change.
Fans share their opinions on Musk’s announcement
Some users have come forward to express their dissatisfaction with this move from Elon Musk. They are asking Musk to keep dark mode as the default option while giving an option for a light mode too. Productivity YouTuber Thomas Frank said, “Why not just make dark mode the default? A lot of folks are more comfortable with light mode. Removing it seems like a step backward.”

Dark mode is much harder to read outside in daylight. Change the default, not the option.

Not everyone’s eyes can handle dark mode.
