NYU Professor Locked Out of X Account Following Dispute with Elon Musk
Billionaire Elon Musk has been making waves in the news this week with his ongoing dispute with Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, which shows no signs of resolution as both individuals point fingers at each other for the delay. However, Musk, who is also the owner of X (formerly Twitter), has now found himself embroiled in another conflict, this time with New York University’s Professor Scott Galloway. Galloway, a renowned author, public speaker, and X user with a substantial following of 560,000, has recently made startling accusations against Musk.
According to a report by Business Insider, Galloway recently got into a fight with the billionaire entrepreneur, but the details of the incident are not fully known. The professor later posted this message on his Threads account: “A mutual friend reached out and said Elon felt he was being ‘unfairly attacked’ and wanted to meet. I declined. 2 days later I was locked out of X.”
This strange case is an ongoing one, as the NYU professor later wrote: “Still locked out, 17 days.” So, based on what he said, it’s been over 2 weeks and he hasn’t been able to access his account where he had amassed a community of half a million users.
We have not been able to independently verify the claims. However, as others have pointed out, his X publications returned no results when searched using the search tool.
Elon Musk’s song critic
We were able to track down Galloway’s account on X, and it turns out he’s been a vocal critic of Musk on the platform. His last post about the entrepreneur was on July 28, when he tweeted: “Tesla intentionally gave drivers rosy mileage predictions, leaving many stranded. BUT you should bet all X.”
He pointed to a recent Reuters investigation that found Tesla created a secret team tasked with suppressing negative comments and complaints about electric vehicle mileage. Underscoring that, he highlighted his concerns about X becoming an all-in-one app that will also offer financial services, as Musk himself claims.
