Elon Musk has been slammed by X users after he begged people to be more positive.

The billionaire made a plea on his own social media platform X, formerly Twitter, for people to post ‘positive’ and ‘beautiful’ content.

While it certainly caused a stir online, it might not have been quite the reaction Musk was hoping for.

In a post shared to his over 200 million followers, the tech mogul wrote: “Please post a bit more positive, beautiful or informative content on this platform.”

Fellow billionaire Mark Cuban was quick to shoot back at Musk, who is expected to become the world's first trillionaire, replying with: “You first.”

Other users took to the X comment section to share their own reactions.

One person said: “Too late. You created this cesspool. You own it. Hypocrite.”

Another wrote: “How about we start with you, lead by example.”

A third person commented: “Getting tired of the toxic wasteland you created?”

A fourth said: “Elon, plenty of us have been posting positive, beautiful, and informative content for years. You know what’s discouraging? Feeling like we’re shouting into a void.

“If you really want to make this place great, start by leveling the playing field. Let every voice be heard, not just the ones with clout or a VIP badge.”

And a fifth user added: “If seriously wanting to change it, then should change this post to ‘what are some good ideas on how to incentivize users to post more beautiful and informative content?’ …then maybe try to take action on those best ideas.”

While it could be that the Tesla boss is trying to turn over a new leaf, he hasn’t always practiced what he is now preaching on X.

Recently, Musk urged people not to donate to Wikipedia after finding out that the nonprofit behind the website has spent over $50 million on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives.

In a tweet, Musk wrote: “Stop donating to Wokepedia until they restore balance to their editing authority.”

This tweet was in response to a post uploaded by the ‘Libs of TikTok’ account who shared a pie chart that claimed 29% of Wikipedia’s budget for 2023-2024 was spent on targets for equity, safety and inclusion.

According to the Wikipedia Foundation website, the organization has a goal of spending $31.2 million on equity and $20.5 million on safety and inclusion.

$86.1 million was spent on infrastructure while $39.2 million went on effectiveness.
