Elon Musk urges world to ‘delete lame Facebook’ in tweets about Zuckerberg ‘controlling info for 2.5billion people’

ELON Musk has called Facebook “lame” and urged users to delete it.

This proclamation came in the form of a tweet as the billionaire responded to Sacha Baron Cohen’s stance on Mark Zuckerberg and his company.

Famed actor Cohen is a well-known Facebook critic.

He recently tweeted: “We don’t let 1 person control the water for 2.5 billion people. We don’t let 1 person control electricity for 2.5 billion people.

“Why do we let 1 man control the information seen by 2.5 billion people? Facebook needs to be regulated by governments, not ruled by an emperor!”

Musk appeared to agree with the statement and replied: “#DeleteFacebook It’s lame”.

Musk’s tweet proved very popular and has 58,000 likes so far.

It wasn’t unusual for Musk to criticise Facebook in such a blunt way.

He deleted his companies Facebook pages and tweeted that he didn’t like the platform in 2018.

Back in 2017, Musk also criticised Zuckerberg’s understanding of the future of AI.

The Telsa boss famously described the Facebook CEO’s knowledge of artificial intelligence as “limited”.

Zuckerberg is far more optimistic about AI than Musk as the latter thinks it could be dangerous in the wrong hands.

In other news, Zuckerberg has been warned that he risks helping child abusers target kids through Facebook with new encryption tech.

Instagram will finally reveal who you like and dislike the most out of the people you follow.

And, TikTok has been accused of copying Instagram after developers gave the booming app a surprise makeover.
