Elon Musk today ordered SpaceX staff to delete their page on Facebook. Later, other pages of Musk's companies followed, such as the page of Tesla and SolarCity.
All together, Elon Musk's pages had over 5 million registered friends.
I didn't realize there was one. Will do.

Η movement it took place in less than an hour, in response to a challenge from a Twitter user.
Musk's move follows Mozilla's announcement on Wednesday and reports stopping Facebook ads.
Of course, as you already know, these are reactions after the revelations about the scandal Cambridge Analytica.
Although Mozilla and Elon Musk seem to have taken drastic anti-Facebook measures, too many companies do not delete their Facebook pages and stop advertising through the largest social network.
The movement #deletefacebook
Let's remind that last Friday, after the unexpected revelations from the media, Facebook deleted SCL Group and Cambridge Analytica from its platform.
It was later learned that the companies used data of Facebook to create psychological profiles of 50 million users of the social network since 2015.
After the revelations, even her co-founder WhatsApp, Brian Acton, invited those who follow him to delete their Facebook accounts.
In response to the scandal, the company's CEO Mark Zuckerberg admitted that trust between Facebook and users has been lost, and that the company is preparing a series of changes to the application platform, which will stop the access in the collection of data by third parties.
But don't expect miracles: Facebook, like the Google relies on data collection. So it would be good not to expect too much after Zuckerberg's promises.
They can stop “uncontrolled” data leaks to third parties, but what about the data they collect themselves?

And after all that, FB will be our only monitoring application and it has no unfair competitors…
