Tesla CEO Elon Musk ripped into Mark Zuckerberg Wednesday night in a tweet that seemed to accuse the establishing of Facebook for the violence that followed at the U.S. Capitol.
“This is called the domino effect,” Musk composed close by a meme that apparently attached the origins of Zuckerberg’s Facebook to the mob that continued to storm the Capitol working to fight the aftereffects of the presidential election.
The meme Musk posted portrayed a stack of tiles arranged like dominos. The littlest tile has a caption close to it that reads, “a website to rate women on campus” which was a reference to FaceMash, the predecessor to Facebook that Zuckerberg created in 2003 to allow individuals to pass judgment on their colleagues’ looks.
The biggest tile in the meme was named with a post from Mark Leibovich, the chief national journalist for The New York Times Magazine.
“The Capitol seems to be under the control of a man in a viking hat,” Leibovich’s post read.
Musk’s tweet, which has since collected in excess of 204,000 likes, was posted hours after Trump supporters descended on Washington to fight Congress’ formal approval of Biden’s triumph, bringing about brought about many captures and four deaths.
In any case, Musk’s remarks came even as Twitter made an exceptional move to incidentally suspended Trump from posting on the platform.
Leading up to Wednesday, Trump had asserted there was inescapable fraud in the election to clarify his defeat and urged his allies to come to Washington through various social media posts.
Trump spent the lead-up to the procedures publicly hectoring Pence, who had a generally ceremonial role, to help the push to toss out the outcomes.
Twitter, just as Facebook and Instagram, both Mark Zuckerberg organizations, suspended him from posting on their platforms after they state he disregarded their policies.
After Twitter kept Trump out of his account for 12 hours, Facebook and Instagram followed suit. On Thursday both expanded the block indefinitely, Zuckerberg wrote in a post on his own Facebook account.
“We’ve assessed two policy violations against President Trump’s Page which will result in a 24-hour feature block, meaning he will lose the ability to post on the platform during that time,” Facebook tweeted Wednesday night.
