Elon Musk Joins #DeleteFacebook Movement, Deletes SpaceX, Tesla Pages

Elon Musk, founder of both LA's SpaceX and electric vehicle maker Tesla, has deleted the Facebook pages for both of the companies, in support of the #DeleteFacebook movement. After an inquiry from followers on Twitter on if he'd delete the SpaceX page, Musk said "I didn't realize there was one. Will do". Both the SpaceX and Tesla pages disappeared shortly from Facebook. The movement comes after revelations that Facebook allowed a massive trove of user data to be used by data anlysis Cambridge Analytica, to try to influence the votes of Americans, data gathered through a "personality test" to Facebook users.
