Doja Cat Urges Elon Musk to Reinstate X’s Audio Post Feature

On Wednesday, Grammy-winning singer Doja Cat posted on X, asking the platform’s owner, Elon Musk, to bring back the “audio post” feature that allows users to share voice notes publicly. In the same message she addressed Musk with a series of insults, calling him a “frog-build looking bitch” and a “Barrel-chested Ewok.” The post combined a direct request with personal disparagement, reflecting ongoing frustration among creators over the feature’s disappearance.

X, formerly Twitter, was acquired by Musk in October 2022 after he completed a $44 billion purchase. Following the takeover, Musk dismissed the senior executive team and instituted a series of product alterations. The audio-post capability, which enabled public voice recordings, was reported to have been removed in early 2025, though direct voice memos remain available in private direct messages. The removal coincided with broader user declines; monthly active users fell roughly 15 % in Musk’s first year, and advertising revenue dropped 54 %.

Doja Cat’s public rebuke follows a pattern of musicians targeting Musk for platform decisions. In November 2025, singer Billie Eilish labeled Musk a “fucking pathetic pussy bitch coward” for not allocating his wealth to humanitarian relief. Such statements illustrate broader artist dissatisfaction with Musk’s management of X, particularly regarding features that affect content creation and audience engagement.

Sources indicate the audio-post feature was removed “sometime in early 2025,” but no precise date or official rationale has been provided by X. Additionally, no response from Musk or X’s communications team to Doja Cat’s request has been reported, leaving the platform’s plans for reinstatement unclear.

The article notes it is unlikely the request will be successful, given the lack of an official statement and the platform’s recent trend of feature reductions. Future updates from X’s product team will determine whether creator demands influence the platform’s roadmap.
