Tesla CEO Elon Musk has made a kinda vibrant return to Twitter with his signature wit, just days after stepping away from his advisory role at the White House. Known for his unfiltered and sometimes provocative posts, Elon Musk has been actively posting on current events. In the backdrop of the ongoing Iran-Israel tension, Elon Musk posted a meme on Microsoft-owned professional networking website LinkedIn. The
meme comes amid a flurry of Musk’s recent Twitter activity, where he’s commented on everything from technological advancements to international tensions.Elon Musk shared a meme that seems to be taking an aim at LinkedIn’s corporate culture, which he has not been very fond of. The photo featured LinkedIn’s headquarters with a cheeky caption: Urging Iran not to bomb “the secret nuclear facility.” The post, dripping with Musk’s characteristic sarcasm, sparked a wave of reactions across Twitter, with users chiming in on the joke. While some saw it as a lighthearted jab at LinkedIn’s buttoned-up reputation, others interpreted it as Elon Musk poking fun at the platform’s self-seriousness in the professional world.
Elon Musk is not a fan of LinkedIn and has publicly criticized the platform, calling posts on it "unbearably cringe". He has stated that he loses respect for people who post on LinkedIn. Replying to a Twitter user's post on LinkedIn, Musk wrote, "Replying to the post, the billionaire wrote on X, "People send me LinkedIn links sometimes, but the cringe level is so high that I just can't bring myself to use it, so I ask for the resume or bio to be emailed. We will make sure that the X competitor to LinkedIn is cool." In another comment, Musk wrote, "LinkedIn is actually the most cringe platform on the internet."
While Elon Musk doesn't have a personal LinkedIn account, his companies, Tesla, SpaceX, and X (formerly Twitter) are active on the platform.
