A few days back, Musk refused to join the Twitter board and now offered to buy the social media company.
Elon Musk’s Top priority
One of the top priority of Musk, if he manages to buy Twitter, would be to eliminate spam and scam bot armies on the social media platform. “They make the product much worse. If I had a Dogecoin for even crypto scam I saw, we’d have 100 billion Dogecoin,” Musk was quoted as saying by CoinTelegraph at a TED conference in Vancouver on Thursday.
Meanwhile, prices of all other top crypto assets are in the Red as of Friday morning, witnessing fall up to 8%.
