Elon Musk shuts down false claim about new Profile Viewers feature on Twitter
The Elon Musk Twitter account is constantly getting bombarded with requests for free Teslas, questions about the Space X projects, and even the occasional bizarre question. But the billionaire tech mogul recently shut down a Twitter user who claimed that a new Profile Viewers feature was on its way to the social media platform.
A Twitter user going by the name of 'Nathan' tweeted at Musk and Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, claiming that Twitter was working on a feature that would allow users to see who has viewed their profile. Nathan tagged Musk in the tweet, implying that he had some knowledge or involvement in the alleged feature.
Musk quickly responded to the tweet, dismissing the claim with a curt 'false' and stating that such a feature was not in the works. Musk also commented that Nathan's tweet was 'trolling,' implying that he believed the user was intentionally spreading false information or trying to provoke a reaction.
This exchange between Musk and the Twitter user garnered a lot of attention from the online community. Many people reacted to Musk's response, with many finding it humorous that the Twitter user was called out for spreading false information.
'That's Nathan for you, he's a troll,' one person wrote.
'I love this so much,' another commented. 'He got trolled so hard by Elon.'
Musk does have a point about the concept of being able to see who has viewed your profile on social media platforms. Several platforms, such as LinkedIn and Instagram, already offer this feature. However, Twitter has not introduced a similar feature to date.
This incident highlights the role of influential figures in shaping public opinion and dispelling misinformation. The online community closely follows the activities and statements of high-profile individuals like Musk, which can have a significant impact on public discourse.
Musk's response to the Twitter user's claim may serve as a reminder to be critical of information shared on social media. It is always worth keeping an eye out for new developments in the tech world, but it is also important to verify information before accepting it as fact.
