Delete SpaceX page on Facebook if youre the man?

a twitter user pointed out and challenged Musk to delete it.

I didnt realize there was one.

It was deleted soon after.

However, SpaceX and Tesla still have a profile on Instagram, which is owned by Facebook.

Also, we dont advertise or pay for endorsements, so … dont care.

Musk even went on to write, Weve never advertised with FB.

None of my companies buy advertising or pay famous people to fake endorse.

Product lives or dies on its own merits.

When someone on Twitter questioned Musk as to why did he delete SpaceXs Facebook page, he replied briefly.

@elonmuskI was always following the live feed of SpaceX on Facebook!

Why did u delete?

U need to use facebook with common sense, and your profile is okay than!

In 2016, Facebooks CEO Mark Zuckerberg blamed SpaceXs launch failure that had destroyed a Facebook satellite.
