ELON PURCHASE TWITTER

Following Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter, the cryptocurrency exchange Binance reportedly plans to form a team to develop cryptocurrency and blockchain solutions for the social media platform.

Binance’s CEO and founder, Changpeng “CZ” Zhao, had just hours before confirmed that the cryptocurrency exchange had backed Musk with $500 million in financing, making it the fourth-largest contributor to the takeover among the 19 investors that provided $7 billion to Tesla’s founder.

CZ tweeted earlier this week that the funds had been transferred, and added that they had been sent via conventional banking channels and fiat currency rather than cryptocurrencies or blockchain protocols.

The cryptocurrency exchange tweeted in May 2022 that it would invest alongside the likes of the Sequoia Capital Fund, Fidelity Management, and the Lawrence J. Ellison Revocable Trust. The investment was described by CZ at the time as a “small contribution to the cause.”

On April 25, Musk, Tesla’s billionaire CEO and founder, made the acquisition of Twitter official, with the $44 billion transaction pending Twitter stockholder and regulatory approval. He has previously stated that one of his primary goals for the business is the elimination of spam and scam bots, including those pertaining to cryptocurrencies.

I feel much more secure about my Twitter account now that Elon has sink’ed in there.

The new proprietor took immediate action by removing all of the company’s top brass from their positions. As part of the agreement, Musk is also “taking the company private,” meaning its shares will no longer be traded on public exchanges.
