We can't say Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg were friends before the Facebook privacy data fiasco, but now chances of becoming are less and less possible. Recently Elon decided to delete all of its companies facebook pages while Facebook's CEO still has no clue what hit him.
After the privacy data scandal involving Facebook and Cambridge Analytica a trend of deleting Facebook accounts initiated by the owner of Whatsapp was born. Elon Musk found himself now in a new opportunity of scoffing Mark Zuckerberg by simply deleting Tesla's and SpaceX's Facebook pages.
On March 23 he announced on Twitter that the both pages will be deleted and that's what he did. We all now that Elon Musk doesn't throw words on social media for nothing. Not even advertising on Facebook that he refuted ever making.
It started with a tweet addressed by Musk to Brian Acton, the founder of whatsapp asking him "what is Facebook?". Soon his fans entered the discussion and one proposed him to delete SpaceX Facebook page.
This was his answer:
"I didn’t realize there was one. Will do."

Next thing you know another user came with the proposal to delete Tesla's Facebook page also. Elon answered in the same manner as if it was dissing Zuckerbeg.
"Definitely. Looks lame anyway."
— Elon Musk (
We can say now that Elon Musk found after all what Facebook is. A social media platform with which he has nothing in common anymore. Fans can follow him and his companies on Twitter, Youtube, Instagram and Flickr.
