Musk has been called out for objectionable posts several times in the past, whether he endorsed Germany's far-right AfD party, criticised H-1B visa policies, or engaged in the US immigration debate .

Musk's call for“positive, beautiful” content was met with sharp criticism as X users shared his older posts highlighting the irony of his demand.
Several users shared Musk's stance on H1-B visa in which he told the MAGA supporters to“Take a big step back and FUCK YOURSELF in the face. I will go to war on this issue the likes of which you cannot possibly comprehend.”
A Donald Trump loyalist said,“I will try, but I'm confused now: Which part of your post is the beautiful, and which part is the positive? Can I phone a friend?”
“This you?” asked another user.
“Dear Untrainable Racist Subtards, When you finish FUCKING YOURSELF in the face, please post positive content. Love, H1-Elon,” mocked another user.

“You mean like this?” said another user quoting Musk's“My tolerance for subtards is limited” post.
“Bro, you've just endorsed the German neo-nazi party. Maybe you should sit this one out Elon,” said another user.
A user highlighted:“Yes, but the current algorithms on X prioritize posts that provoke shock, anger, or surprise, while quality posts are sidelined. Please consider improving these algorithms.”
