Elon Musk Jabs Mark Zuckerberg, Joe Biden With a Meme
Elon Musk trolled Mark Zuckerberg and Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden with a meme.
(Bloomberg) -- Elon Musk trolled Mark Zuckerberg and Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden with a meme after one of Musk’s followers tweeted an article citing an interview in which Biden called Silicon Valley leaders “little creeps.”
The follower was posting an article from gamer site Niche Gamer, citing a New York Times editorial board interview with Biden. When asked about his discussions with Silicon Valley leaders during the Obama administration, Biden referred to an unnamed tech leader as “one of the little creeps.”
This isn’t the first Musk-Zuckerberg spat. In early 2018, Musk joined the #DeleteFacebook movement and said Facebook gave him “the willies.“ In 2017, Zuckerberg criticized Musk’s view of artificial intelligence posing a potential a threat to humanity. “It’s really negative and in some ways I actually think it is pretty irresponsible,” Zuckerberg said at the time.
Michael Bloomberg is also seeking the Democratic presidential nomination. Bloomberg is the founder and majority owner of Bloomberg LP, the parent company of Bloomberg News.
