Elon Musk to facilitate hiring on X, saying: ‘LinkedIn cringe level is so high’

In an effort to compete with business websites like LinkedIn, Billionaire Elon Musk-owned 'X' has added a new hiring tool, which allowsverified businesses to post job listings on their profiles.

In response to a post on 'X', which askedif there's anything worse than LinkedIn, Musk wrote, “People send me LinkedIn links sometimes, but the cringe level is so high that I just can't bring myself to use it. So I ask for the resume or bio to be emailed. We will make sure that the X competitor to LinkedIn is cool.”

Musk also said in another comment that LinkedIn is the “most cringe platform on the internet."

The tweet quickly gathered a lot of attention, with people on social media respondingright away. “The worst part is people just making stuff up,” one user remarked. According to the user, many people use titles on LinkedIn that are completely fictitious and unrelated to what they actually do for the firm.

Musk had hintedabout launching the recruiting tool in May. When a user asked whether 'x' will offer dating services, Musk responded, “Interesting idea, maybe jobs too.”

The latest development seems likeyet another step in the direction of the 'X' becoming the all-encompassing app that Elon Musk originally talked about.

According to a recent TechCrunch article, 'X'purchased a job-matching tech start-up called Laskie in May, marking the platform’s first acquisition since Musk purchased it. It is a great possibilitythat the platform’s ability to create and release the new functionality was aided by this acquisition.
