Wallace inquires, "Is it likely to occur? There is no way to tell for certain. However, if demand continues to climb at this rate, it may only be a matter of time before he pulls the trigger.
Additionally, "With [Elon's] wealth and influence, such a platform could rapidly become one of the world's most popular. [It] nearly appears to be too nice to be true. "
Musk previously vented on a podcast with Joe Rogan about some of the issues with social media, "particularly Instagram... [with people claiming] they are a lot better-looking and seeming to be happy than they actually are." Additionally, he tweeted, "Simply do not enjoy Facebook. It gives me the heebie-jeebies. "
Having said that, he is an active Twitter user. And, despite the fact that he pulled Tesla off of Facebook, he launched a Tesla-specific social media network, Engage, last year.
While Elon is extremely busy with Tesla and SpaceX, he is also addressing tunnels and artificial intelligence with The Boring Company and Neuralink. Therefore, why not create your own social media company? Perhaps in the future. We're going to have to wait and see.
