Billionaire tech mogul Elon Musk just threw some shade at billionaire tech mogul Mark Zuckerberg.Musk deleted the Facebook pages for Tesla and SpaceX on Friday — pages he apparently didn’t know existed.Elon Musk jokingly pondered “What’s Facebook?” in a response to a tweet hashtagged #deleteFacebook in the wake of its involvement in the Cambridge Analytica scandal. The data analytics firm, hired as a consultant by Donald Trump’s campaign, illicitly obtained Facebook data for as many as 50 million of the site’s users. Facebook discovered the breach but failed to notify its users.Twitter users responded to Musk and pointed out that his companies, Tesla and SpaceX, both have Facebook accounts with 4 million and 3 million followers, respectively. Musk responded that the accounts would be deleted. In fact, he said he didn’t even “realize” the page for SpaceX existed, and he called the official Tesla page “lame anyway.” Both accounts appear to have been deleted.Musk didn’t swear off Facebook-owned Instagram, however, because he believes the platform can stay “fairly independent.”
