Musk noted that he wasn’t making a political statement with the moves. âJust donât like Facebook,â he said. âGives me the willies. Sorry.â

Facebook has weathered harsh criticism from many politicians and public figures as of late. After failing to prevent Russian operatives from using the social media network’s platform to disrupt the 2016 U.S. Presidential election, Facebook has also been admonished for an alleged “fake news” problem. Most recently, over 50 million users’ FB data fell into the hands of a political group with ties to the Trump administration, without Facebook or the users’ consent.

Facebook Inc shares closed at $159.39 on Friday, down $5.50 (-3.34%). Year-to-date, FB has declined -9.67%, versus a -2.91% rise in the benchmark S&P 500 index during the same period.

FB currently has a StockNews.com POWR Rating of C (Neutral), and is ranked #25 of 50 stocks in the Internet category.
