The band Muse has surrendered its Instagram and X handles to Meta after the release of its new AI agent, Muse.

The English rock band Muse has been renamed on Instagram and X from “Muse” to “museband.”

Despite the band Muse having had its Instagram account since 2012 and its X account since 2008, it has seemingly surrendered the handle to Mark Zuckerberg’s newest AI agent.

I absolutely hate that so many people still use these shit platforms run my the worst people on the planet. That said, if you are famous, there is a dilemma where, if you refuse to use these platforms, someone will make a fake account that purports to be you.

    At the same time, these people would have the pull to really promote the alternatives. Imagine if a channel with tens of millions of followers announces they are leaving for the Fediverse. Thing is, they are most likely getting a metric fuck-ton of money on Instagram and the like, so I’m not counting on that to happen anytime soon.
