Tech mogul Elon Musk took a jab at Meta after Facebook and Instagram services went down globally on Tuesday.

Musk included a post by Meta’s head of communications, Andy Stone.
Featuring an illustration of three penguins with the logos of Facebook, Instagram, and Threads saluting another penguin wearing sunglasses and a military commander’s uniform with the “X” logo.
