Elon Musk Creating Team to Help Twitter With Blockchain

Binance, the world's largest crypto exchange that has invested$ 500 million into Elon Musk's buyout of Twitter, is creating a platoon to work on how blockchain and crypto could be helpful to Twitter, the company's prophet said on Friday. As one of Elon Musk's equityco-investors to fund his$ 44 billion( nearlyRs. crore) deal, Binance said it'll communicate plans and strategies that could help Elon Musk run the platform. 

 The recently- formed platoon will explore how to make on- chain results to address Twitter's issues including proliferation of bot accounts, a problem Musk has constantly complained about and nearly reneged his offer on. 

Musk's Twitter preemption saga came to an end on Thursday when the deal officially closed after months of twists and turns in and outside the courtroom, and Musk incontinently fired top principal directors at the social media platform. 

 Twitter had began to explore ways to incorporate blockchain technology underco-founder and former CEO Jack Dorsey, who has been a exponent of bitcoin. 

In November 2021, Twitter launched an internal crypto platoon to make features that involve similar technologies. The company introduced the capability for paid Twitter subscribers to usenon-fungible commemoratives( NFTs) as their icon print. 

 In textbook dispatches with confidantes that were released as part of the action with Twitter, Musk bandied the possibility of placing Twitter on the blockchain, though he latterly appeared to decide such a move would not work. 

It's unclear how laboriously involvedco-investors like Binance could be in Twitter's future as a nonage investor, since Musk completely controls the board and decision- making in the now-private Twitter. utmost of hisco-investors are finances similar as Sequoia Capital, Fidelity Management, Andreessen Horowitz and Brookfield. Binance's Chief Executive Changpeng Zhao, known as CZ, is an active Twitter stoner with over 7 million followers on the platform.
