Former F1 driver and pundit Martin Brundle expressed his anger against billionaire Elon Musk for his handling of the social media platform X, ever since he took over a couple of years back. The South African, worth $425B (as per Forbes), is the founder of several companies like SpaceX, Tesla, and Open AI, acquired Twitter in late 2022 and made drastic changes to the social media platform.
The eccentric 53-year-old made radical changes to the culture and usage of the platform, which did not sit well with many of its users. His opinions and views on several issues and his influence on the current zeitgeist have also irked many.
On his X, Martin Brundle too addressed his displeasure over Elon Musk's views as he mentioned that he was "conflicted", saying:
"I’m conflicted. I like Twitter/X and it has served F1, Sky, me, and the people around me, very well for a good while. But Elon Musk is such a daily globally interfering d**k I feel the need to go somewhere else."
