Elon Musk: Tesla boss blames Facebook and Mark Zuckerberg for storming the Capitol

After the serious riots by Trump supporters in the US Capitol, it is clear to Elon Musk who and what is complicit in the events. The Tesla boss shared a meme on Twitter that Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg held responsible.

Domino effect?

In the picture you can see a man who brings down a row of increasingly larger dominoes. The smallest domino stands for a website on which women can be rated on the university campus. This most likely refers to the Facemash site, which Zuckerberg originally intended as a women’s rating platform is seen by many experts as the predecessor of Facebook – Zuckerberg says no. The largest rock is illustrated with a screenshot of a tweet describing the riot in Washington.

According to this meme, Zuckerberg triggered a domino effect that led to the riots on Wednesday. “That’s called a domino effect,” writes Musk about the meme. The Facebook founder Zuckerberg has long been criticized for tolerating misinformation and hatred on his platform. The same applies to other social media platforms, including the Twitter service and its inventor Jack Dorsey.

Zuckerberg draws conclusions

US President Donald Trump also shared false information on his Facebook and Twitter profiles. Zuckerberg drew conclusions from the events at the Capitol and banned the outgoing US president from his platforms, which also include Instagram, until further notice. Trump’s Facebook and Instagram accounts will remain blocked for at least the remaining two weeks until his successor Joe Biden takes office. Trump had shown that he wanted to sabotage the transfer of power to Biden, wrote Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg as a reason.

Trump also blocked Twitter, but he could quickly regain access to his account there. To do this, Trump must first delete two tweets. Then a twelve-hour countdown begins for a penalty suspension. If the president does not act, Twitter threatens a permanent ban.
