Elon Musk criticized the integration of NFT with the social platform Twitter. According to the founder of Tesla, the company is wasting engineering resources that should have been directed to combat scammers and spam.
Twitter is spending engineering resources on this bs while crypto scammers are throwing a spambot block party in every thread!?

“It’s annoying. Twitter is wasting engineering resources on this nonsense while cryptocurrency scammers are throwing spambot parties in literally every thread,” Musk tweeted.
On Thursday, the social network introduced an option to add NFTs as profile avatars. Access was opened to users of devices on iOS from among the subscribers of the premium Twitter Blue service.

Fraudsters often use Musk’s name in cryptocurrency scam schemes. For example, in May 2021, cybercriminals swindled over $100,000 from users in this way. Until now, messages from fake accounts appear under almost all tweets of the founder of Tesla.
In 2020, the Twitter accounts of Musk, Bill Gates and other celebrities were subjected to a large-scale attack. Later, Graham Clark, who hacked, was sentenced to three years in prison, followed by probation.
Musk is a longtime supporter of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology. However, his optimism does not extend to the concept of the metaverse, which has been popular in recent months. The billionaire called “great wisdom” the words of Sony founder Ken Kutaragi, who dubbed virtual worlds and VR-headsets “annoying” and “meaningless”.

Recall that in January 2022, Musk announced the start of sales of Tesla merchandise for the Dogecoin (DOGE) meme-cryptocurrency.
