Vitalik Buterin calls out Elon Musk on free speech and ‘banhammer’ threat
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin 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 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 recommended that the Tesla CEO calm his “tone of discourse” and ease up on using the “social media banhammer” on X accounts
Buterin’s tweet came in response to an expletive-laden X post from Musk, who was defending the rights of companies to hire immigrants to work in the United States under H-1B visas.
