Musk criticized Twitter’s NFT move
As we previously reported, Elon Musk criticized Twitter’s move about NFT profile pictures. It had also warned Twitter management about bots and scammers under Twitter posts about NFTs and cryptocurrencies. Musk first posted a message on Twitter with a statement about NFTs saying it was annoying.

It has been reported that Twitter has previously rolled out verified NFT profile picture features. It’s only available to paid subscribers of Twitter’s Blue service and allows them to officially verify the NFTs used for their profile pictures.
