I’m going to go ahead and assume the one person on X that you can’t call is old Muck himself. Wonder why?

Then again, X is such a shit show and Elon is so incapable of thinking two steps ahead of his feet that maybe you can call him lol

My bet is he'd be too fucking arrogant and think people would genuinely call him out of admiration and he could create some viral moment showcasing how awesome he is.

My bet is this isn’t really about people calling each other, but more about exTwitter having access to users’ microphones and cameras and is turned on by default.
