Netizens were not impressed with Musk's dig at the singer. Further, a user responded to Musk's tweet with, “You’re a stupid idiot. Trent [Reznor] is one of the best musicians ever." Nevertheless, the billionaire was unwilling to back down and said, “I like his music tbh, but maybe Etsy is more his style.”

'No wonder you all grew up to idolize the Musky's of the world'

The Internet quickly reacted to Musk's response to Trent's decision. A user said, "His money will never make him cool and he knows it." Another added, "Once again I am reminded of. "

"Trent reznor could build a Tesla but Elon musk couldn’t do something I can never have - live at Woodstock 94," wrote another. A tweet read, "Attacking trent reznor is a direct attack on me, personally. you will be cursed." One fan wrote, "“Trent Reznor is a crybaby for quitting my website” he cried."

"Elon Musk doesn't care that Trent Reznor quit Twitter which is why he's complaining to Cat Turd about just how little he cares about it," stated journalist David Leavitt.

A user said, "Elon Musk buying Twitter like a multi-billion dollar toy so he can “be cool” and running it into the ground as he throws a tantrum because actual cool people like Trent Reznor think he’s an idiot is the most organically-made-for-Hollywood dark comedy screenplay I’ve ever seen."

"Trent reznor is a better person, cooler, and far more talented than you losers," wrote Hannah Gais, a journalist with South Poverty Law Centre. "Grown a** men admitting/tweeting that they've never heard of Trent Reznor is embarrassing. Like, I'm embarrassed for you. No wonder you all grew up to idolize the Musky's of the world," tweeted another. A user claimed, "Trent Reznor didn't have to spend $44 billion to make people people think he's cool."

"It bothers Musk so little that Trent Reznor quit Twitter that he's tweeting to Cat Turd about how little it bothers him. Just like when he tried to engage with Steven King, said he was a fan, then deleted it after no response. A literal toddler could run this app better," said publicist Karen Dalton Beninato.
