Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk always finds some reason to stay in the headlines. Now he has made a similar claim about WhatsApp, which will definitely make you think once you hear it. Musk has accused WhatsApp, owned by Meta, of exporting users’ data. In fact, an ex-user’s post said that WhatsApp exports users’ data every night and it is used to set the target audience for ads. They have made users a product, not a consumer.
On this, Musk said that WhatsApp exports the data of its users every night. However, many people think that it is a safe platform. There has been no comment from Meta and WhatsApp on this allegation of Musk.

At the same time, computer programmer and video game developer, John Carmack, asked on social media about Musk’s answer, whether you have any proof that messages are being scanned and transmitted. Carmack posted on X that ‘I believe that usage patterns and meta data are collected. If you bring bots into the conversation then you are definitely fueling the issue, but I still believe that the message content is completely safe.’
