Elon Musk has responded to the hacking group Anonymous after the group put out a stark warning about the future of Twitter.
The billionaire has lashed out the ‘hacktivists’, who are well known online for exposing corruption and bringing awareness to injustice.
In a recent video put out by the organization, they sent out a ‘red flag warning’ over President Donald Trump, describing his relationship with Vladimir Putin as a ‘love fest’.

They also claimed that Musk is ‘now pulling the strings in the US government's so called Department of Government Efficiency’.

Anonymous went on to say: “Musk's parade of empty promises and hollow patriotism is as transparent as it is dangerous. The man is the very f***ing embodiment of everything conspiracy theorists warned us about, a rich b**tard with too much clout, hell bent on global domination.
“All while riding the coattails of the very people he claims to liberate. So are you ready to lose your freedom? Is worshiping the rich worth the cost of losing your democracy?”
And talking about ‘Project Russia’, Anonymous warned: “This isn’t paranoia, ‘Project Russia’, a documented plan to destabilize Western democracies, details this exact f***ing playbook, exploit economic chaos, co-opt influential figures and erode public trust until democracy is a smouldering ruin.
“Musk’s unchecked authority and Trump’s bromance with Putin are textbook moves from that playbook.”
However, this isn’t the first time that Musk has been called out by Anonymous as they had previously claimed: “When Trump loses the election, Elon is going to dissolve and liquidate Twitter.”
Musk was quick to clap back at the group following Trump’s election win in November 2024.
The Tesla boss took to his own social media platform X, formerly Twitter to write: “Change your handle to @YourLibtardNews. It’s more accurate.”
At the time, other users were divided on whose side they were on, with both parties receiving a lot of replies.
One user said to Musk: “You’re literally a neo-liberal bro lol.”
Meanwhile another thanked the SpaceX CEO for the group’s new ‘Twitter livestream name’.
The main response said: “Thanks for the suggestion, how about helping some homeless and poor people with all those unlimited funds ya got? Call us all the names you want - but helping the poor is always the right thing to do."
Calling him out again in their recent warning, Anonymous reminded users that ‘no one voted for Elon on a ballot’ as they added: “His self-styled crusade is nothing more than a bulls*** narrative crafted to justify his own power grab.”
