Mary Trump recently took to Twitter to criticize Elon Musk for his decision to hide likes on the X platform (formerly Twitter).
After acquiring Twitter for $44 billion in 2022, Musk rebranded it as “X” with the goal of transforming it into a “digital square.” Following the acquisition, Musk introduced several changes to the platform.
Addressing the issue, Musk mentioned that allowing users to like posts without facing backlash was crucial. Consequently, on June 12th, X initiated the process of concealing users’ likes on their public profiles, a move that sparked backlash, including from Donald Trump’s niece, Mary Trump.
In a tweet, Mary Trump suggested that Musk’s decision-making was lacking intelligence, stating, “It’s not possible. The new ‘improvements’ on Twitter prove that @elonmusk is even dumber than I imagined.”
The tweet garnered various responses from individuals expressing discontent with the recent update, with speculations about Musk’s motives and intentions behind the changes.
