Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, tweet is once again gaining attention on X. He has targeted Meta-owned WhatsApp, alleging that the instant messaging app exports users' data every night.
This comes amid WhatsApp has been under fire over privacy concerns. WhatsApp has been doing efforts to update the privacy features on their app to provide end-to-end encryption and security of the chats to users.
It started, when an X user posted :
"WhatsApp exports user data nightly which is analysed and used for targeted advertising, making users the product, not the customer."

Elon Musk replied to the user,
‘WhatsApp exports your user data every night. Some people still think it is secure.”

No comment has yet come from Meta or WhatsApp on Elon Musk's allegation.
Computer programmer and video game developer John Carmack responded to Elon Musk by asking if there is any evidence that the content of messages is ever scanned or transmitted.
"I assume usage patterns and routing metadata is collected, and if you invoke a bot in a conversation you are obviously opening it up, but I am still under the impression that the message contents are secure by default," John Carmack posted on X.
Meta- Elon Musk Row
Two tech giants are involved in an ongoing rivalry, and Elon Musk never misses a chance to target Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta.
“Yeah, we are terrible at claiming credit and Meta is super greedy at claiming credit. There is a major class action lawsuit against Meta for their false claims,” Musk said on his owned Platform X, again.
Earlier this month, Tech Billionaire Elon Musk accused Meta of being “super greedy” by taking undue credit for advertising campaigns run on its platform.
