Recently, Mark Zuckerberg stated that the ‘X’ owner is not serious about facing him, closing the door on this bout. A huge reason behind the Musk-Zuckerberg beef was Meta’s new social media platform, ‘Meta’. Now with the beef almost over, the Tesla founder has shifted his focus on criticizing another prominent platform.

Ever since his takeover of Twitter, now known as ‘X’, Musk has never shied away from bluntly expressing his opinions on the social media platform. Sometimes, netizens love his unapologetic tweets, and other times, they call him out. However, this does not stop Musk from being himself on ‘X’.

Recently, Musk posted a tweet taking shots at the $30 billion platform LinkedIn. Owned by Microsoft, users engage on this platform for professional purposes. In his recent tweet, the ‘X’ owner revealed that he often receives links to profiles on LinkedIn. However, he apparently does not like the platform and finds it “cringe”.

“People send me LinkedIn links sometimes, but the cringe level is so high that I just can’t bring myself to use it, so I ask for the resume or bio to be emailed,” Musk wrote. Further, the billionaire also hinted at launching a direct competitor for LinkedIn in the near future. “We will make sure that the X competitor to LinkedIn is cool,” he added.

When Elon Musk criticized Facebook

It seems like no social media platform is safe from the wrath of Elon Musk. A few days ago, Musk shared a tweet from American writer Michael Shellenberger. The tweet accused Facebook of unethical involvement in elections. Sharing this, Musk firmly stood with Shellenberger, further accusing Facebook of manipulating the general public.

“Facebook is manipulating the public almost everywhere on Earth,” Musk said. “That is why they won’t open source their algorithm,” the 52-year-old added. This was not a first-of-its-kind tweet by Musk, as the Tesla founder has repeatedly shown his bitterness towards Meta.
