Wait, Did Zuckerberg Just Jack Muse the Band’s Instagram Handle For His New AI?
"That's genuinely the worst." The post Wait, Did Zuckerberg Just Jack Muse the Band’s Instagram Handle For His New AI? appeared first on Futurism .
Muse, the renowned English rock band with a dedicated fanbase, has seen its Instagram handle transitioned away from the familiar @muse to the Meta-owned platform's new AI-powered agent. This shift, announced by Meta, has sparked fan outrage and questions about the circumstances surrounding the username change. Meta's AI, named Muse, now occupies the original handle, prompting fans to express their displeasure on social media.
Some fans accused the band of being a "sellout" due to the perceived exchange, though the band has not confirmed any agreement or compensation. The incident echoes a historical precedent, where Elon Musk took the @X handle from a Twitter user in 2023, offering only merchandise and a visit to X's headquarters in return.
