His wife, Camilla, the Queen Consort, was also crowned at the ceremony, which was attended by several members of the royal family, representatives of numerous countries, celebrities and other eminent dignitaries.

The fact that it gained over a 100 million users in the first week didn't help matters either, with reports suggesting that Musk is gearing up to sue Meta for having allegedly stolen their trade secrets. Even a literal cage match was on the table!
