Elon Musk makes fun of those who don’t post on Twitter. Elon Musk, the tech tycoon and owner of the microblogging platform Twitter, is not afraid to speak his views.
Elon Musk was a regular visitor on Twitter even before he purchased the social media platform, even seeking controversy with some of his contentious messages.
Elon Musk has a message for all Twitter users who only use the platform to read posts and rarely share anything themselves in a new tweet.
On Sunday, Elon Musk shared an image of a man dressed in a kurta-pajama lounging on an elevated platform, smoking and watching several people below him. The photo comes with the caption, “People who have Twitter but never post anything.” Sharing the image, Elon Musk wrote, “Oh hi lol.”

Several users responded to Elon Musk’s fun post. One user said, “What can I say… Watching the world turning into a chaotic place is definitely cooler than participating in it.”
On Friday, Elon Musk, who was speaking at a conference in Paris, explained why he chose to buy Twitter. He said that he wanted to improve the “corrosive effect” he felt the app was having on civil society. “I was concerned Twitter was having a negative affect on civilization and corrosive affect on civil society, and anything that undermines civilization, I think, isn’t good,” he said.

“My hope was to change that and have it be positive for civilization,” Elon Musk added and said that he believed that most regular users of the site would attest that their experience on Twitter has improved. “I think if someone is a regular Twitter user, then most people would say their experience has improved,” Musk said, adding, “We’ve gotten rid of 90% of bots and scams and various bad things happening. We’ve gotten rid of 95% of child exploitation material on Twitter, which was a shock to see … some of what was going on for 10 years.”
Elon Musk, on the other hand, said at the same conference, “If I’m so smart, why did I pay so much for Twitter?” alluding to the $44 billion transaction.
Elon Musk completed his purchase of Twitter in October 2022. Within days, he fired roughly half of Twitter’s staff, sparking outrage, and justified the move as a cost-cutting measure.
