One user said, "Twitter doesn't make me angry.  It makes me laugh all day long. Tip: unfollow all politicians and media "reporters"." Responding to the same, the billionaire said, "I do laugh a lot on Twitter haha."

A user also added another social media platform to the list. He commented, "LinkedIn makes people depressed , not insta." Mr Musk responded to this user with a fire emoji. 

"Twitter is a lesson in anger management ! Things that are not taught in business schools. :)" remarked another person. 

"Twitter gives me news and keeps me informed. Instagram shows me pictures of people I care nothing about and now they're trying to become tik tok.  I'll take twitter," added a person. 

I'm really searching for a platform that can elicit both emotions at once.

"Instagram is designed to make you wish you were someone else. It's a happiness trap. Twitter has its own issues, but at least it doesn't do that," said a user.

"I pay $8 for Twitter and my data for Instagram." reads another comment. 

Another person stated, "Tbh social media is a reflection of ourselves. What we choose to look at and interact with teaches the algorithms who we are, and it shows us more of who it thinks we are."
