Odaily Planet Daily reported that Musk posted on the X platform that "DM (private message) is being separated from publicly posted content, so if you only want to use this platform (referring to the X platform) to send messages and don't want to post publicly, you can do so." Later, the chain detective ZachXBT commented: "Please also add the function of disabling random users from adding you to group chats, because currently anyone can add you to the group unless you turn off DM completely."
