Tesla Techno King Elon Musk has experimented with selling his tweets. Like any digital content, tweets can be traded as Non-fungible tokens (NFT) to ensure their authenticity. It is impossible or very difficult to forge such an artifact, since it relies on blockchain technology. They wanted to buy the tweet for sale for over $ 1 million, but Musk withdrew the offer.

The economic uncertainty in the world and the lowering of the average bar of common sense makes the owners of round sums look for a safe haven for their funds. Hence the boom in cryptocurrencies and the fashion for buying NFTs. The other day, for an NFT image of the artist Beeple, they gave a record amount of $ 69 million, and the first tweet of the head of the company of the same name, Jack Dorsey, quickly crossed the mark with an offer of $ 2 million.

Musk’s tweet for sale contained a short song of his authorship, a simple video clip and a short phrase. Twitter user @SinaEstavi offered 625 ETH NFT for this bundle, which is approximately equal to $ 1,12 million. Musk soon withdrew the offer, saying: “In fact, it seems to me that selling it is not entirely correct. Let’s go “.

According to sources, Musk’s action could become a distraction for a number of unpleasant situations around Tesla. The company’s shares are unstable, an investigation by the regulatory authorities was launched against it after another accident, shareholders are outraged by Musk’s irresponsibility on social networks, and the stock regulator is unhappy with the unpredictable influence of the head of Tesla on the stock market. Hopefully, Musk or his advisers are shrewd enough to convert the hype and digital into tangible assets, such as factories.
