X Corp. Chairman Elon Musk criticized Meta Platforms Inc.'s WhatsApp, labeling the messaging service as "spyware."
His comment came after a user on X, formerly Twitter, reported seeing suitcase ads on Instagram right after discussing suitcases on WhatsApp, despite WhatsApp's claim of end-to-end encryption. Responding to the user's tweet questioning this, Musk simply stated, "It's spyware."
Musk previously warned of WhatsApp's security risks.
