Elon Musk, through the tweet, also proposed Signal as a WhatsApp alternative in the wake of the New WhatsApp Policy concerning the security of the transmission of sensitive data and the ongoing US Capitol Riots. It has been reported by many that the social media messaging app has seen a surge in the number of subscribers following the tweet. In addition to the responses that were garnered by the tweet above, the Twitterati had also shared their political views in the responses section, given the timing of the tweet.
On the professional front, Musk, quite recently, took away the title of the world's richest person from Amazon Inc’s founder, Jeff Bezos's after the equity shares of Tesla witnessed a 6% surge, which added an additional 10 billion in value to Musk's stake in the firm. As of this writing, Musk's Net Worth stands at about $190 billion.
