Co-founder of Ethereum and Cardano provides support to Musk after Twitter app controversy
The story of Elon Musk’s Twitter acquisition isn’t over. Recently, the new owner of one of the world’s largest social media platforms admitted that Twitter’s mobile application may disappear from various stores. As a countermeasure, Musk is set to develop his own phone, and cardano creator Supports Entrepreneur.
After the takeover, rumors about Twitter’s mobile app delisting appeared in the space, mostly because of the rapidly changing rules and policies of the platform. Despite the rapid changes, the most important metrics of the app remain intact, as Twitter reports record-breaking numbers of daily active users on the website.
Charles Hoskinson said that “Big Tech” should not pressure companies and platforms to remove their applications from their app stores just because they have “free speech”. Prior to this, the Cardano creator was actively advocating in favor of creating a decentralized version of Twitter.
However, since the takeover, Elon Musk has not been very enthusiastic about implementing any kind of decentralized technology to Twitter. In his personal chat with ex-FTX CEO, he stated that it would be hard to make the platform run on a blockchain from a technical perspective, which is why implementation of crypto makes no sense.
Although Musk has made it clear that Twitter will not become blockchain-based, the entrepreneur does not shy away from accepting some cryptocurrencies as payment for services on the network, such as the blue check mark.
The Cardano creator himself offered Musk help in making Twitter more blockchain-friendly, however, the entrepreneur showed no interest. At the same time, Musk is ready to build his own “Tesla Phone” to avoid excessive limitations from big tech companies and government regulators.
