Dogecoin co-founder is defending Tesla boss in a tweet thread by Twitter’s head of safety & integrity
Contents
Billy Markus, IT engineer who created Dogecoin back in 2012 together with Jackson Palmer, has taken to Twitter to say a few words to defend Elon Musk, the Tesla chief who bought Twitter last week for $44 billion.
The comments were in response to a tweet published by Twitter’s Yoel Roth, head of safety & integrity at Twitter. He shared that there has been a surge in hateful conduct on the social network since the end of last week – when Musk finally completed the deal to purchase Twitter.
Elon Musk, too, joined the discussion after Billy Markus.
Update on the coordinated, hateful conduct surge — it was quickly thwarted. https://t.co/QUNveJRVY6

He stated saecastically that, of course, before the Tesla CEO bought the platform, there was no hate on Twitter at all, and now that Musk made the purchase, the paradise of nice and polite conversations has been ruined.
Elon Musk also responded to this disguised accusation, saying that it is entirely his fault.
I confess, it’s all my fault

In his tweet, Yoel Roth stated that the Twitter team managed to eliminate the impressions on hateful content to nearly zero.
He did not accuse Elon Musk of being the cause of this hate surge.
Musk hinted at merging DOGE with Twitter
In an earlier tweet today, head of Tesla and now of Twitter too, Elon Musk, posted a Halloween picture with a pumpkin and a Shiba Inu dog wearing a t-shirt with a Twitter logo on it.
The community, and influencer David Gokhshtein in particular, decided that Musk this way was spreading the word about the future integration of the leading meme cryptocurrency on Twitter.
