Eugen said he was not a fan of it.

Mastodon is similar toTwitter. Users can follow each other and post to each other.
Mastodon's software is open-sourced and is not run by a single company.
He told Newsnight that he created Mastodon because he was aware of the importance of social media.

Something so important to internet infrastructure should be similar to a public utility.
Insider did not get a response from Musk or the other two.
