Elon Musk Hides ‘Likes’ And Everyone Makes Same Joke About Ted Cruz
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) drew mockery on X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday after the platform’s owner Elon Musk confirmed that “likes” will now be private by default.
Users joked about how the move would benefit Donald Trump loyalist Cruz, who drew ridicule in September 2017 when his account “liked” a hardcore porn video.
Cruz later blamed a staffer, who he said had “inadvertently hit the like button.”
“It was not a deliberate act,” Cruz claimed at the time. “We’re dealing with it internally, but it was a mistake. It was not malicious.”

Is this because Ted Cruz liked porn on 9/11 so he paid off Elon to do this

Yep. People who “like” horrific shit on Twitter. Or, like Ted Cruz, “liked” porn on Twitter & got busted.
People who don’t want to be ratio’d for being a nazi or homophobe.
Horrible people. That’s who wanted this.
Regular twitter users do not want or need this.— 🔥 Lucky Dog Hot Sauce 🔥 (@LuckyDogHotSaus) June 12, 2024
