Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has called out Elon Musk for the "tone of discourse" on X, and cautioned against censoring users with the “banhammer.”
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin called for Elon Musk to “turn down the temperature” amid a heated debate on his platform over foreign tech workers, which has stirred up new controversy over free speech.
In a Dec. 31 post to X, Buterin said that while he admired Musk’s willingness to fight for freedom of speech, he asked for the Tesla CEO to “turn down the temperature” on the “tone of discourse” and Musk’s alleged shutdown X accounts using the “social media banhammer.”
Buterin’s tweet came in response to an expletive-laden X post from Musk, who was defending the rights of immigrants to work at companies in the United States under H1B visas.
