Is Elon Musk a Bored Ape Owner?

Elon Musk has been making headlines a lot lately, and this is mainly related to the fact that he just bought Twitter. Musk eventually purchased the platform, and free speech haters have been having a hard time.

Just in case you don’t know, Musk made the shock bid less than two weeks ago, and he said Twitter had “tremendous potential” that he would unlock.

He also made sure to address various changes from relaxing its content restrictions to eradicating fake accounts.

“Free speech is the bedrock of a functioning democracy, and Twitter is the digital town square where matters vital to the future of humanity are debated,” Musk said in a statement announcing the deal.

He continued and said the following:

“I also want to make Twitter better than ever by enhancing the product with new features, making the algorithms open source to increase trust, defeating the spam bots, and authenticating all humans.”

Musk is in the spotlight again after changing his Twitter photo. Rumors started pouring that he might be a Bored Ape owner.

Recently, Yuga Labs, the web3 company behind the Bored Ape Yacht Club, disrupted the entire Ethereum blockchain as a flood of users rushed to purchase NFTs.

These represent virtual plots of land in its upcoming metaverse project, Otherside.

As The Verge online publication notes, a total of 55,000 Otherdeeds sold at a flat price of 305 ApeCoin, or around $5,800 at the time of purchase (via CoinTelegraph), raising about $320 million in what was considered the “largest NFT mint in history.”

We’re sorry for turning off the lights on Ethereum for a while. It seems abundantly clear that ApeCoin will need to migrate to its own chain in order to properly scale. We’d like to encourage the DAO to start thinking in this direction.
