Why Musk did not like the new feature? Twitter recently announced the launch of a new feature that will allow Twitter Blue subscribers to set an NFT as their profile picture. All tokens on the social network will operate based on Ethereum.
Musk is not known to support Ethereum-based projects, calling them “centralized.” He also believes that Twitter has more important issues to solve.
Twitter is spending engineering resources on this bs while crypto scammers are throwing a spambot block party in every thread!?— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) January 21, 2022
