Legendary singer and frequent poster Dionne Warwick said she's planning to confront Elon Musk about the direction he is taking X, formerly known as Twitter.

Warwick, asked about Musk's August 18 announcement of plans to remove the block feature on X, told People Magazine that she would talk to the tech billionaire about it.

The announcement has been criticized, with people seeing it as a way to allow more harassment on the platform.

"I have yet to speak to that young man and I intend to because I am not quite sure what he's doing or if he knows what he's doing," Warwick told People at an album release party for Todd Hunt's "Postcards from Brazil, Volume 2."

The soul songstress, who has recently become known for her prolific posts and occasional trolling on the platform, told the magazine in December she would be willing to talk to Musk about his ideas for the social media site.

Warwick, who said she also shared a vision of free speech on X, said she wanted to gauge his true intent for the platform.

"I understand your freedom of speech attitude but how are you going to contain it, so it does not get out of hand?," Warwick told People.

She has since been outspoken on various decisions that Musk has made for the platform, including his decision to charge people $8 a month to verify their accounts.

"That money could (and will) be going towards my extra hot lattes," she tweeted.

Representatives for X did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Insider.
