Elon Musk thinks a 'much better name' for Facebook will be...

Elon Musk has once again captured the public's attention, this time by suggesting a name change for the tech giant Facebook. The billionaire entrepreneur's proposal arose in response to a post by the parody news site BabylonBee, which humorously quoted Musk as offering Facebook's CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, a staggering $1 billion to rebrand the social media platform to “Faceboob”.

Musk's straightforward statement was, "It would be a much better name!" This tweet quickly amassed over 65.5 million views.

Musk, known for his eccentric and audacious propositions, recently made headlines when he expressed his willingness to donate a billion dollars to the online encyclopedia Wikipedia, provided it underwent a name change to 'Dickipedia.' However, Musk's conditions for this monumental offer included one particular stipulation – the new moniker must remain in effect for at least a year.

As these peculiar conditions made their way into the spotlight, parody news websites were quick to seize the moment and come up with their own headlines, further fuelling the social media frenzy.

The latest Twitter exchange between Musk and Zuckerberg has reignited a long-standing rivalry between these two tech titans. A speculation about a potential face-off between Zuckerberg and Musk, in a boxing match or cage fight, had made the rounds on social media and grabbed headlines earlier this year.

However, as of now, the eagerly anticipated battle has yet to materialize, with Zuckerberg publicly accusing the owner of SpaceX and Tesla of not taking the proposed fight seriously in a recent Threads post.
