The CEO of Dogecoin and Elon Musk had a recent falling out regarding bug fixes on Twitter and partnership. However, due to the recent regulations placed on Twitter concerning impersonating people, the CEO of Dogecoin, who uses a pseudonym, reached out to Elon Musk to discuss this new development. Elon stated that he would be unaffected if he did not have deceptive intentions.
Dogecoin Co-founder Reaches Out To Elon Musk
The creator of Dogecoin, who used the Pseudonym Shibetoshi Nakamoto on Twitter, had a conversation with Elon Musk about the recent regulation updates to the Twitter App.
However, a recent brawl occurred previously between Dogecoin founder Jackson Palmer and Elon Musk.
Palmer stated in an interview that the Twitter acquisition was put on hold due to bug issues, and Palmer reached out to Elon to help fix the bugs.
He agreed to write a python code that could completely fix the bug and have the system running smoothly. He also stated that Elon contacted him for the code.
A heated argument ensued, in which Palmer referred to Elon as a swindler, accusing him of creating visions he doesn’t even believe in. Elon responded by calling him out for claiming to have a program that fixes the bug and claimed that his children write better code than Palmer does.
However, with the recent Twitter banning and suspension of accounts that impersonate, the CEO of Dogecoin had to contact Elon because he fell under this category by using a pseudonym on his twitter account.
Elon Musk responded to his tweet by saying that using a pseudonym as a display name is fine and does not affect your account’s verification mark.
Elon Sets New Regulations
The problem, however, is accounts that impersonate other people. Verified accounts have been found to be impersonating other Twitter users. Elon Musk announced today that any change in display name on any Twitter account will result in the temporary removal of the verification badge.
In the case of the Dogecoin Founder, he responded that using a pseudonym does not constitute unethical behavior as long as the account does not engage in deceptive rallies.
Elon Musk also stated that any Twitter account that impersonates another person without displaying and attaching the word “parody” will be permanently banned from the platform.
The account of Kathy Griffin, a comedian, was a victim of this new regulation. She changed her display name to Elon Musk to send a message, but her username remained the same. Despite not changing her username, she was not exempted from these regulations.
