Musk took to social media to endorse the suggested name proposed on the parody site, stating, "It would be a much better name!"

The root of this unusual proposition lies in Musk's tendency to post controversial and attention-grabbing statements on social media. Over time, Musk and Zuckerberg have engaged in various discussions and playful banter.

The report from The BabylonBee suggests that Musk has playfully advised Zuckerberg to rebrand Facebook as 'Faceboob.' As per Musk's commitment, he is willing to pay Zuckerberg a staggering one billion US dollars in exchange for adopting the suggested name. Musk believes that such a change would bring immense joy to numerous individuals.

Furthermore, Musk has hinted that he has multiple creative ideas for the revamped social media site, which would follow the renaming.

It is noteworthy that this isn't the first time Musk has proposed such a renaming challenge. In the past, prior to Facebook, he urged Wikipedia to change its name to 'Dickipedia,' offering a billion dollars for the rebranding endeavor. Musk's unconventional approach to naming has been a recurring theme in his interactions with prominent entities.

In conclusion, the proposed billion-dollar deal to rename Facebook is yet another instance of Musk's unconventional antics, showcasing his playful yet intriguing engagement with some of the world's most influential figures.
