Twitter chief Elon Musk sparked controversy on Tuesday after he responded to a user who alleged that the microblogging platform has become a factory of incessant trolls.
After the user posted, "Twitter is a wonderful app if you enjoy being insulted by the worst human beings on earth over literally nothing," Musk suggested the assertion was not far from the mark, responding, "Maybe … maybe we do?"
While the user Shibetoshi Nakamoto agreed with Musk's answer, responding, "A brutal yet fair point", the Twitter owner's remark has divided opinion on the highly influential app.
From memes to jokes to suggestions people should leave Twitter and join Redditt, netizens came up with their own set of opinions.

"I find it comical quite frankly. My favorite part is when people have not the slightest clue what they are talking about and keep on going anyway," one Twitter user wrote.
"You need to dig dirt to find gold," another added.
"Twitter’s sub company should be called OnlyInsults," a third suggested.
"People say things here that they would never say face to face," a fourth claimed.
The Tesla and SpaceX founder has been under fire for making sweeping changes at Twitter, including slashing its workforce by half.
More recently, the multi-billionaire was slammed after reports emerged that Twitter had been sued in court after the organization failed to pay $136,250 in rent for its office space in California.
