Elon Musk deletes own, SpaceX and Tesla Facebook pages after #deletefacebook

Elon Musk apparently wasn’t aware that his company SpaceX had a Facebook page. The SpaceX and Tesla CEO has responded to a comment on Twitter calling for him to take down the SpaceX, Tesla and Elon Musk official pages in support of the #deletefacebook movement by first acknowledging he didn’t know one existed, and then following up with promises that he would indeed take them down.

He’s done just that, as the SpaceX Facebook page is now gone, after having been live earlier today.

I like the sources of information being available on the platform, just as I enjoy seeing things posted from the local Museums, Zoo, County Library and groups that I find interesting.

That someone might track my clicks on Space.com's page or the National WWII Museum I don't see as a huge issue.

FB is secondary, and look, no algorithms tracking your every click.

It’s just more convenient to have news and updates appear in one aggregator.
