Lmao. Instagram is for girls

Obviously. Sometimes grown men send me their Instagram profiles and I’m like are you transitioning or what?

A 54-year-old world’s richest man wrote that!

Musk’s hatred for rival social media platforms hinges on his inherent misogyny. He has in the past taken digs at Wikipedia, LinkedIn, Instagram, and other platforms, including Twitter, which he owns now under the SpaceX umbrella. He has called most of these sites infected with the “woke mind virus.” This comes from closer home.

After his daughter Vivian Jenna Wilson’s coming out and estrangement from her billionaire biological dad, the 21-year-old not only shunned their heirship but also opted for Instagram and Threads for expression. Musk dubbed her as “dead” and “not a girl” and infected with the woke mind virus. Vivian later remarked on her “cruel” upbringing, calling Musk an absent father who “was cold,” “quick to anger,” and an “uncaring narcissist.” For Vivian, Musk and his enormous wealth are a part of her story, which she definitely quipped is “not the future of my story.” Speaking with Cosmopolitan earlier, Vivian shared how wealth made her feel.

I remember being very young and seeing homelessness and feeling sick to my stomach. People would get on me for being like a dramatic little child. But no, I was right to be a dramatic little shit about that.”

She added about how money influences people

“It is cartoonish. Achieving that and wanting more is a never-ending cycle of greed and gluttony, where nothing is enough and you kind of go insane. It turns you into someone different, which is honestly one of my biggest fears.”

With a huge RW backing, Musk, the richest billionaire, finds it hard to embrace his eldest daughter as herself, as X/Twitter has evolved into a propaganda platform replete with bots and abusive trolls. The 54-year-old lashes out once in a while and what better outlet than rival platforms?

While he has constantly thrown shade at Mark Zuckerberg-owned Meta’s WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram on privacy, on a few occasions he brings out his misogyny too. In his latest he called IG a platform for girls. Like its something to be ashamed about? Big win if it is. Unfortnely Meta’s platforms are also riddled with teh same issues a Elon Musk’s X.

Can the billionaire technocrats do better? Without virtue signaling and tokenisms of course?
