X owner Elon Musk asked today why Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin left X.
Responding to Autism Capital's post, which thinks Vitalik Buterin should return to the X platform, Musk said, “Why did Vitalik Buterin leave X?” asked.
Vitalik Buterin has been active on Farcaster, a cryptocurrency-centered Twitter-like social media platform, for a long time. At this point, Buterin said in February, “Farcaster has gotten to the point where it's pretty useful as a Twitter alternative for a lot of people. I think the channels actually make it *better* in a lot of ways.” he said.
Stating that Ethereum founder Vitalik should return to X, Autism Capital stated that Farcaster cannot win the culture war and said:
“Vitalik needs to go back to X. Farcaster will not win the culture war.
If Butrerin wants Ethereum to shine, it should be more involved with platform X, not isolating itself on an island with select peers.
“If it mobilizes the larger community here on platform X, it will have a much greater impact.”
Buterin has approximately 180,000 followers on Farcaster, where his account is linked to the Ethereum Name Service address vitalik.eth, while he has 5.2 million followers on X.
Why did he leave?
