Vanguard Group swooped in and knocked Elon Musk off his top shareholder perch at Twitter

In the spirit of “the decade everything turned to dreck”, I fully expect some interested party to complete the NFTization of Twitter, and somehow make it so that every tweet has to be minted on a blockchain before being automatically offered through an NFT marketplace. And then Mr. Musk’s famous Edit button will allow whoever acquired the NFT of your tweet to change the text after the fact to say whatever they like. I mean, that would make sense, wouldn’t it? Very Web3, much profit, wow.

The recent experience of the gentleman who acquired an NFT of Jack Dorsey’s first tweet for $2.9M and then struggled to sell it for much more than the price of a used Chromebook gives us some idea how this will all play out, of course, but don’t think for a minute that that would stop someone trying it.
