Musk tweeted two images whilst in the costume. In one, he can be seen with his mother and in the second image, he is alone. He wrote in the caption of the first photo, "Halloween with my Mom." The costume reportedly costs a hefty $7,500.
Meanwhile, Musk has once again changed his Twitter bio. Now, it reads, "Twitter Complaint Hotline Operator." In the display picture, there appears to be a stock image of a child holding a retro-style telephone to his ear. He is referring to the great number of tweets and messages from fans asking him to fix their issues with the microblogging site
There were diverse reactions. One wondered, "What’s up with satanic symbolism bro?" One other wondered whether Elon was trying to be Tony Stark. Musk's fans often like to compare him to Robert Downey Jr's Marvel superhero as both are crazy rich and have an affinity towards high-end technology. Musk must find the analogy flattering.
Musk's Twitter takeover has not pleased everyone. Many, including celebrities, have announced doom and gloom, saying, among other things, that under Musk there will be more hate speech, particularly from the right, and less accountability. It does not help that Donald Trump has hailed Musk's Twitter takeover. Some have deactivated their accounts and quit the platform or are threatening to quit.
British-American actor Alex Winter, for instance, known for the 'Bill & Ted' franchise has quit as the account is not accessible. He had earlier shared a meme that depicted Donald Trump, Kanye West, and Musk as Three Musketeers.
