Elon Musk Admits He Has A Secret Instagram Account To Satisfy His Thirst Trap For Sexually Inviting Content
Elon Musk confesses to having an Instagram account where he stays anonymous. He doesn’t post anything, however, it sometimes happens that he finds himself taking a selfie. ‘I found myself taking a lot of selfies and sh*t and I’m like ‘what the f**k man? Why am I doing this?’
Generally, Musk finds himself to be more productive on Twitter than on any other social media. He says that he uses it as the main tool to communicate with people. Since he has a massive pool of followers there already, he is not looking to switch to any other social media at the moment.
Elon Musk’s Twitter account is one of the most popular accounts on the platform. He has 102 million followers and is in the top 4 accounts with the most followers on the platform. The three accounts in front of him are in the ownership of Barack Obama – 132 million followers, Justin Bieber – 114 million followers, and Katy Perry – 108 million followers.
Musk is vocal about the censorship policy on Twitter for quite some time now. According to the early rumors and conversations, this is the main reason why he decided to obtain the social media. At the time, he said that he is full of the selective censorship going on the platform.
Before the summer, he pledged to buy Twitter at a reasonably high price of $54 per share, taking into consideration the medium course of the stock market. Before the bid, the price was fluctuating at around $36 for quite some time. Now, the price is at $42 per share and is still far from the agreed $54.
Since then, Elon Musk backed off from the deal. According to him, the misrepresentation of the number of fake accounts on the platform is the main and sole reason for the deal break. Fake accounts are used for manipulating the public. The influence that social media recently has on everyday life is massive. That is why these fake accounts can easily sway the public into obtaining one or another opinion on some critical stuff.
