At the end of August, X announced it would soon begin collecting users’ biometrics data, as well as job and education history.
"This is entirely at the discretion of the X user. No use of this ID will be made beyond what is explicitly & clearly approved by the user," Musk said on X late Friday.
Musk bought, then Twitter, for an estimated $44 billion last October.
Twitter Corporation ceased to exist as a separate company as a result of its merger with X Corp. this April.
In late July, Twitter’s logo was changed from a blue bird to a black-and-white X logo. Musk specified that the new logo symbolized "the imperfections in us all that make us unique."
