U.S. government agencies had full access to Twitter user activity, including DMs, according to Elon Musk. Bitcoin and Dogecoin prices decline.
In an interview, Twitter CEO Elon Musk revealed that U.S. government agencies had full access to user activity, including DMs. Bitcoin and Dogecoin prices plummeted after these revelations shocked crypto Twitter.
Elon Musk told Fox News host Tucker Carlson that government agencies had full access to Twitter. Under previous management, the U.S. government monitored DMs.
He also discussed AI’s drawbacks to humanity. AI is “more dangerous than mismanaged aircraft design or production maintenance or bad car production.” Musk thinks AI could destroy civilization.
Musk’s new AI company, X.AI, rivals OpenAI’s ChatGPT.
Furthermore, the crypto community was shocked to learn that U.S. agencies are spying on Twitter private messages. Some believe the government still has full access to activity and DMs on other social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Telegram, and Google.
Elon Musk’s revelations were compared to Edward Snowden’s 2013 revelations of illegal government surveillance.
Crypto influencer Matt Wallace claims the US government is close to implementing a social credit monitoring system like China’s to spy on user activity online.
The news dropped all top cryptocurrencies after it reached the crypto community. Bitcoin (BTC) fell below $30k to $29,816 in 24 hours. Ethereum (ETH) dropped from $2,137 to $2,076.
Twitter privacy news pushed Dogecoin’s price down from $0.0915. DOGE price is $0.0894, down 3% from the 24-hour high.
