Did Elon Musk Buy Instagram After Twitter?

Ever since Elon Musk bought Twitter, social media users have been wanting him to take over all platforms.

We have already seen a number of rumors online claiming that the billionaire has bought some of the biggest players including McDonald’s and Coca-Cola.

The latest rumor has it that he’s bought Instagram — yes, first Facebook and now the photo-sharing app. But how true is it?

Rumors come from a YouTube video

Many are asking if Elon bought Instagram after a video on YouTube that misled many.

The video shared on the Elon Musk Zone channel is captioned “Elon Musk bought Instagram.”

However, if you watch it, you’ll notice that the clip instead talks about the idea of ​​the Tesla owner “initiating” the Instagram purchase.

It continues on “Exploring why, when and how Elon buys Instagram”.

No, Elon Musk didn’t buy Instagram

First, there’s no reason for you to believe the claim as the video only talks about the idea of ​​the billionaire buying the photo-sharing app.

Additionally, neither Elon nor Mark Zuckerberg, owner of Meta, Instagram’s parent company, have announced any deal.

Shortly after Elon confirmed he had bought Twitter, another viral hoax convinced social media users that he had tweeted about buying Facebook and then deleting it.

So the speculation about the purchase of Instagram does not come as a surprise and must be completely ignored.
