It appears billionaire tech mogul Elon Musk is taking #deletefacebook seriously.
During a tweetstorm on Friday, Musk nonchalantly erased Tesla and SpaceX’s Facebook accounts.
The abrupt move came after a Twitter user urged him to delete his company’s accounts from the world’s most popular social media platform.
Both pages had roughly 2.6 billion ‘likes’ but had been deleted as of this afternoon.
It also appears that Musk has removed Tesla subsidiary Solar City’s Facebook page unprompted.
A follower told Musk he should delete the accounts if he was ‘the man.’
Another user then sent him a screenshot of Tesla’s Facebook account saying ‘This should be deleted too right?’
To that, Musk responded: ‘Definitely. Looks lame anyway.’
Musk had been busily tweeting away on Friday afternoon before it all went down.
It kicked off when he first responded to a widely-shared tweet from WhatsApp co-founder Brian Acton, where he said: ‘It is time. #deletefacebook’.
‘What’s Facebook?,’ Musk cheekily responded.
In recent days, #deletefacebook has picked up steam and was trending on Twitter in the wake of Facebook’s privacy scandal, which led to 50 million users’ data being harvested without their knowledge.
