This sentiment was echoed by other users, including the meme-focused account @X_BEBEeth. Additionally, several meme accounts expressed their appreciation for Musk and the platform.
Microsoft’s AI Feature Raises Privacy Concerns
Musk’s update on X coincided with controversy surrounding a new AI feature announced by Microsoft. The company’s CEO, Satya Nadella, unveiled “Recall,” an add-on for the Co-Pilot AI tool. Recall automatically captures screenshots of users’ computer screens, allowing them to search this archive using AI-powered tools.
This development sparked concerns about user privacy. Musk likened the feature to a dystopian scenario in the TV series “Black Mirror” and announced his intention to disable it.
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin questioned whether the captured data would be stored in Microsoft’s servers, while Ripple CTO David Schwartz expressed skepticism about the overall usefulness of the feature.

X and the Future of Social Media
The contrasting responses to the updates from X and Microsoft highlight the ongoing debate surrounding technology and its impact on society.
While X’s focus on fostering a user-driven information verification system has garnered support from the XRP community and meme enthusiasts, Microsoft’s AI-powered screenshot capture tool has raised privacy concerns among prominent figures in the tech industry.
As X continues to evolve under Musk’s leadership, it will be interesting to see how the platform balances user experience with privacy considerations, and how these choices resonate with different online communities.
