The X owner took to the social media platform to encourage users to share more “positive, beautiful or informative content”—and was quickly hit with a reminder of his own recent tweets.
SpaceX founder Elon Musk encouraged “more positive, beautiful or informative content” on his X platform (formerly Twitter) hours after he lashed out at an individual and told them to go “F**K YOURSELF in the face.”
Musk’s inflammatory remarks were in response to growing tensions between him and anti-immigration conservatives who disparaged him for his support of H-1B visas that allow U.S. employers to hire foreign employees for specialty occupations, which require specialized knowledge and a bachelor’s degree.
