On the 5th, Meta's social ** Facebook, Instagram and Threads suddenly crashed on a large scale, resulting in hundreds of thousands of users around the world being unable to use them normally. After the accident, Meta and its communications director, Andy Stone, issued an apology and explanation to users.
At the same time, Musk, the owner of another social ** platform X, posted a post ridiculing Meta's accident.
In the early morning of the 6th, Beijing time, Musk posted an online post on the X platform: "If you are reading this content, it is because our servers are operating normally", in order to ridicule his major competitors.
Musk's tweet quickly caused many netizens to follow the trend and ridicule, and some people made a funny ** of "Meta boss Zuckerberg repairs the server" and "Zuckerberg can only be on the X platform", which was quickly liked by the majority of netizens**.
Probably seeing the enthusiasm of netizens, just a few minutes later, Musk released another animation**, in which the penguin with the X platform logo is proudly looking at the other three companions with the trademark of Meta's platform showing a collapsed expression, and the text in the picture is Andy Stone's explanation of the system failure to netizens.
In addition to following the trend and ridiculing Meta, there are also political reasons why these two posts have been widely disseminated in the American ** community. Generally speaking, American technology companies led by Meta's major platforms have a closer relationship with the Democratic Party of the United States, while the X platform has become an important "** position" for Republican voters in the United States after being acquired by Musk.
Therefore, some netizens gloated and said the opposite: "If Meta hires more black lesbian transgender people, it is estimated that it will be fine this time", in order to mock the Meta group of companies for a long time to use "political correctness" and "diversity" rather than job ability as an important criterion for recruitment and promotion.
Others found Andy Stone's post, laughing at Meta's platform as "unreliable", and even executives who wanted to send a response had to run to a competitor's platform.
