The decision, however, backfired after Musk's mother took to her Twitter account to criticize the spam comments and inform his son of the creator's tirades.Following that, Fifi proceeded to express his apologies for causing discomfort to the woman.Fidias@Fidias0Day 27 of trying to hug ⁦@elonmusk⁩44920Day 27 of trying to hug ⁦@elonmusk⁩ https://t.co/Mw60jQZkEaHas Elon Musk responded to Fidias' prank?After Fidias urged his followers on Instagram to spam Elon Musk's mother, Maye, with comments trying to grab his son's attention, a Tweet discouraging Elon from making any contact with the YouTuber was posted on her account.Maye Musk@mayemuskWhat is good about ⁦@Twitter⁩ is you can complain about spamming on ⁦@instagram⁩ . ⁦@Fidias0⁩ asked his IG followers to spam me.
