Elon Musk insults Mark Zuckerberg

X, formerly Twitter, owner Elon Musk mocked Meta chief Mark Zuckerberg after the company’s social media platforms — Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp — faced brief outages.

In an X post on Thursday, Musk said that the outages occurred as the platforms were distracted.

“Hard to keep the servers running when they’re so distracted selling their user’s data,” he said.

WhatsApp services were down Wednesday night, affecting thousands of users globally. However, it was restored within hours.

Last month, hundreds of thousands of Facebook and Instagram users globally were impacted for more than two hours following an outage that was caused by a technical issue.

Musk did not let it slide. He had mocked Zuckerberg even then.

"If you're reading this post, it's because our servers are working," he had said in a post on X, which was then flooded with memes after WhatsApp, Instagram, and Facebook faced outages.
