Ethereum creator Vitalik Buterin has criticized Elon Musk for his handling of dissent on social media platform X, calling out the Tesla CEO for using the "banhammer" to silence voices that don't align with his views. Vitalik warned that such actions could lead to chaos and hinder constructive dialogue. He argued that suppressing speech paves the way for others to do the same in the future. Vitalik also emphasized the importance of leaders, like Elon, setting a positive tone for online discussions. Elon has been under fire for allegedly silencing conservative accounts on X, with critics accusing him of using his power to squash dissenting voices. In response, Elon labeled his detractors as "hateful racists" and "contemptible fools." The tension surrounding immigration policy is causing an internal rift within the MAGA movement. Elon further ignited controversy by changing his display name on X to "Kekius Maximus," which coincided with a surge in the value of a memecoin called KEKIUS.
