"Who gives a sh*t?" - Tristan Tate defends Elon Musk amid allegations of him 'bending X rules for himself'
Tristan Tate has recently stepped forward to defend Elon Musk against accusations of the tech mogul bending certain rules on X for his own benefit.
The Tesla CEO has faced allegations of manipulating X's community note rules to promote his own posts, despite this action conflicting with the platform's guidelines.
Musk's acquisition of the social media company (then Twitter) in October 2022 in a $44-billion deal and subsequent rebranding sparked significant controversy. Many criticized his frequent sharing of alleged controversial statements.
The polarizing social media influencer and younger brother of Andrew Tate defended Musk with a dismissive comment in response to a report by a media portal. He implied that the X CEO is entitled to make decisions about his platform, regardless of perceived fairness or contradictions:
"Who gives a sh*t? I smoke cigarettes in my own bed but don’t allow women to do the same. It’s MY bed."

The accusation against Musk reportedly involves his removal of the community notes option for one of his posts. This feature, driven by community input, enables users to leave comments on posts, including fact-checking or presenting opposing views for context. Many app users have expressed dissatisfaction with this action, criticizing Musk for allegedly disregarding the platform's rules and regulations.
However, the 52-year-old billionaire techie has vehemently denied all claims made against himself. He clarified that he lacks the capability to halt a community note on his own account or anyone else's, attributing this to the open-source nature of the code and data.
