Doja Cat took to social media to request that Elon Musk bring back X’s audio post feature, which was discontinued from the site last year. Her approach will likely not have the intended results, however, as the post contained several insults along with the plea.

“hey elon if u see this please put the audio post feature back on here,” Doja Cat wrote on X late Wednesday night. “Thanks, u frog build looking bitch. Barrel chested ewok u look like u eat sand.”


A few hours later, she added, “@elonmuskc put the audio post feature back on this app. Thanks, you hairless no-neck havin, chimpanzee. Face look like it was drawn from memory. When u swim on ur back at the beach shit look like a man o’ war. Hourglass ankles. Not tryna be mean though sorry.”



X, formerly known as Twitter, used to have a feature that allowed users to post audio messages on their feed. Users can still send voice messages via DM. Musk purchased X in October 2022 and has made numerous changes to the popular social media site since.

This isn’t the first time Doja Cat has taken aim at Musk online. In 2024, he posted a racist meme about diversity in film and she replied, “SHUT THE FUCK UP SHUT UP NO ONE FUCKING CARES SHUT THE FUCK UP.”

Musk previously had a spat with Billie Eilish when she called him a “pathetic pussy bitch coward” for hoarding wealth during a global crisis. Eilish singled Musk out after using her acceptance speech at the WSJ Innovator Awards to call out billionaires for hoarding their wealth when “people need empathy and help more than, kind of, ever, especially in our country.” Later on her Instagram Stories, Eilish reposted a series of infographics from the activist movement My Voice, My Choice that shared ways for Musk to redistribute that massively high wealth.

Musk replied on X, writing, “She’s not the sharpest tool in the shed.” He has yet to respond to Doja Cat.

Boards of Canada Are Back Like They’ve Never Left

Boards of Canada Are Back Like They’ve Never Left

Back in the Nineties, people tended to class the Scottish electronic production duo Boards of Canada alongside their weirdo peers on Warp Records. At the time, few would have dared to dub them “trip-hop,” and maybe they shouldn’t have. But BoC’s lazy breakbeats, pitch-bent synthesizers and samples, and woozy air did and does point straight in that direction. Even now, though, that phrase might strike the ear as too time-bound — too Nineties, especially for a duo whose best work has proven veritably timeless.

But look around: Like skyrocketing gas prices and threats of nuclear war, trip-hop is back, bigly. And not only have many of BoC’s peak moments — from “Happy Cycling,” on their 1999 Peel Sessions EP (later added to Music Has the Right to Children, their debut from 1998), to “1969,” a highlight of 2002’s Geogaddi — sonically incarnated this style at its faded-Technicolor best, the term itself has gained new currency of late, with hipster DJs from Toronto to London dedicating recent sets to it. And the Italian techno duo Voices from the Lake’s spectacular March set for the BBC’s Essential Mix peaks three-quarters of the way in, when they drop “Happy Cycling” like the prize from a piñata.

Milli Vanilli’s Fab Morvan Drops Out of Freedom 250 Concert: ‘It Turned Into a Circus’

Milli Vanilli member Fab Morvan has announced that he will not be performing at the Great American State Fair as part of the Freedom 250 event, making him the latest musical act to distance themselves from the controversial concert series.

On Monday evening (June 1), Morvan appeared on CNN to discuss his reasoning for removing himself from the lineup for the concert series, which is currently scheduled to take place June 25 through July 10 at the National Mall in Washington D.C. The singer, who previously brushed off criticism behind his association with the event — organized by Keith Krach, a Trump appointee — has now had a change of heart, admitting that the controversy has become too much to bear. “This is not what I signed up for,” Morvan told CNN’s Laura Coates, adding that he was initially reassured that the concert was non-partisan, despite conflicting reports.

How Death Cab for Cutie Used the Past to Lock Back In: ‘We’re Not F-cking Around’

Ben Gibbard was overwhelmed by his memories.

It started a few years ago on the joint anniversary tour that the Postal Service and Death Cab for Cutie put on to celebrate 20 years of Give Up and Transatlanticism. Each night, the frontman would travel back in time, tap into his 26-year-old self and deliver convincing, vulnerable performances. But offstage, Gibbard was finding it difficult to switch back and forth between the past and present as his personal life took a rough turn. The frontman was going through a separation from photographer Rachel Demy, who he married in 2016. By 2024, the couple filed for divorce.
