Elon Musk didn’t delete SpaceX and Tesla from Facebook, developer says
- danso 9y agoUnpublishing pages isn't nothing -- disabled pages can't interact with fans or be interacted with, which is the main reason why a company would want to have one. But maybe they're holding off on deleting it because they might later realize it's a useful (and cheap and efficient) channel for outreach. edit: or maybe disabling (but not deleting) is the best way to make sure the Tesla/SpaceX pages don't get name-squatted when they are released?
- tardigras 9y agoI think that's exactly why they went with unpublishing the page, rather than deleting it. They would lose all their followers and data, which is the hardest thing about leaving a platform like Facebook - the historical context you leave behind. This also means that the data still remains available to Facebook as well, so while it isn't nothing, it's not nearly as dramatic of a statement that Elon originally made.
