Doja Cat Unleashes Verbal Fury on Elon Musk Over Missing X Audio Feature: ‘Barrel Chested Ewok’ and Beyond

Doja Cat has never been one to pull punches—especially when it comes to Elon Musk. The Grammy-winning rapper and pop provocateur took to X (formerly Twitter) late Wednesday night with a plea that quickly devolved into a string of creatively profane insults aimed directly at the platform’s billionaire owner. Her demand? Bring back the audio post feature that was quietly removed from the site last year. Her delivery? Utterly unapologetic and, true to form, wildly entertaining.

“hey elon if u see this please put the audio post feature back on here,” Doja Cat wrote in a post that has since racked up millions of views. “Thanks, u frog build looking b*tch. Barrel chested ewok u look like u eat sand.” She didn’t stop there. A few hours later, she added another volley: “@elonmuskc put the audio post feature back on this app. Thanks, you hairless no-neck havin, chimpanzee. Face look like it was drawn from memory. When u swim on ur back at the beach s**t look like a man o’ war. Hourglass ankles. Not tryna be mean though sorry.”

The Insults That Made Headlines

The remarks quickly ricocheted across social media, with fans and critics alike marveling at the singer’s unfiltered verbal dexterity. “Barrel chested Ewok” trended briefly, and memes comparing Musk to the furry Star Wars creatures flooded timelines. But beneath the humor lies a deeper frustration: Doja Cat is one of many high-profile users unhappy with Musk’s sweeping changes to the platform since his $44 billion acquisition in October 2022.

X’s audio post feature, which allowed users to record and share voice clips directly to their feeds, was a modest but beloved tool for musicians, podcasters, and everyday users. It was discontinued without fanfare last year, leaving fans reliant on voice messages through DMs. Doja Cat, who has frequently used the feature to preview tracks and engage with her audience, made it clear she wants it back—even if her request came wrapped in an avalanche of insults.

A History of Social Media Spats

This isn’t Doja Cat’s first run-in with the Tesla and SpaceX CEO. In 2024, Musk posted a racist meme about diversity in Hollywood, and Doja Cat responded with characteristic bluntness: “SHUT THE f**k UP SHUT UP NO ONE f**king CARES SHUT THE f**k UP.” The exchange underscored a growing pattern of artists pushing back against Musk’s often polarizing online persona.

She joins a chorus of musicians who have publicly clashed with Musk. Billie Eilish called him a “pathetic pu**y b**chs coward” during a 2022 acceptance speech at the WSJ Innovator Awards, accusing billionaires of hoarding wealth while people struggled. Musk fired back on X, writing, “She’s not the sharpest tool in the shed.” Unlike Eilish, Doja Cat has yet to receive a direct response from Musk—though given his history of engaging with high-profile detractors, silence may be the more calculated move.

The Disappearing Audio Post Feature

The feature at the center of this feud—audio posts—was introduced in 2020 as part of Twitter’s effort to compete with Clubhouse and other voice-driven platforms. Users could record up to two minutes of audio, which would autoplay in the timeline. It was particularly popular among creators who wanted to share spontaneous thoughts, musical snippets, or podcast teasers without the friction of video editing.

After Musk took over, many features were pruned in the name of simplification and cost-cutting. Audio posts were quietly buried, though voice messages via DM remain intact. The removal frustrated a loyal subset of users, but no one took aim at Musk with quite the same theatrical flair as Doja Cat. Her outburst has reignited conversations about the platform’s direction and whether Musk’s emphasis on video and text has left audio creators behind.

Why This Matters to Fans and the Industry

For music artists, X remains a crucial real-time marketing tool. Doja Cat, who boasts over 28 million followers on the platform, relies on the immediacy of audio to tease new music, react to memes, and connect with fans in a way that feels raw and unfiltered. The loss of the audio post feature diminishes that intimacy, forcing artists to either film themselves or resort to text walls.

Beyond functionality, the spat highlights the tension between creative professionals and tech moguls who control the tools of their trade. Musk’s tenure at X has been marked by erratic policy changes, a shifting verification system, and a looser approach to content moderation—all of which have practical consequences for how artists promote their work. Doja Cat’s insults may be crude, but they tap into a real frustration: the sense that users have little say in the evolution of the platform they helped build.

What’s Next for X—and the Feud

Musk has not responded publicly to Doja Cat’s latest broadside. Given his track record, he may choose to ignore it or respond with a terse meme. But the incident has already generated massive engagement for X—a platform that thrives on viral drama. Whether the audio post feature will make a comeback remains uncertain, but Doja Cat has once again proven that she can command attention with a single post.

As the lines between celebrity commentary, product feedback, and online feuding continue to blur, one thing is clear: in the chaotic ecosystem of X, no one delivers a punchline quite like Doja Cat—even if it comes at the expense of the guy who owns the whole operation. The future of the platform may hinge on whether Musk listens to his users or digs in his heels, but for now, the “barrel chested Ewok” joke has earned a permanent place in internet lore.
