Musk sparked fresh debate
The remark was made, claiming that social media habits can reflect different “phases” of life. The original thread joked about trends like posting thirst traps, constantly uploading stories, and sharing photos of homemade food and sourdough.
The Tesla CEO later made another comment to further explain his point, writing, “Sometimes grown men send me their Instagram profiles and I’m like, are you transitioning or what?”, a remark many users criticised as misogynistic.
