By the looks of it, Cardano’s (ADA) founder Charles Hoskinson has had enough of the copious amounts of right-wing extremism & Elon Musk’s internet goon-driven echo chamber. So, the outspoken ‘Crypto Cowboy’ has officially dropped a departure message, saying he’s going to be replaced by a digital twin on the first day of the New Year.
Cardano Founder Of The Picture Out As X Gets Dark
Some of Crypto Twitter’s OGs praised this move, even contemplating the same type of action. Meanwhile, others sarcastically remarked that X, previously known as Twitter, is not an airport and nobody is obliged to announce leaving it. Clearly stating that “X rewards outrage”, Charles Hoskinson has a similar opinion to Ethereum’s Vitalik.
Further on, Cardano’s (ADA) founder promised to drop a YouTube video at the beginning of 2026, where he would go into piquant details on how the decision to terminate Mr. Hoskinson’s Twitter presence came into light. “The work that matters—Africa, Basho, Midnight 1.0, Cardano governance—rewards building.”

“Ten years taught me which game is worth playing”, – noted Cardano’s Hoskinson, comparing the huge contrast in values. A few weeks ago, SpaceX, Tesla & X owner tech mogul Elon Musk launched a misinformation attack on the European Union (EU) as vengeance for the fine of €120 million for breaching the Digital Services Act (DSA).
Elon’s Goons Still Drooling For EU’s Dissolution
As Elon launched a tirade of borderline-fascist remarks about the European Union, this got other crypto community peers fuming. For instance, Ethereum’s (ETH) founder Vitalik Buterin publicly asked Elon Musk to stop tweaking the algorithm to the dark side, going as far as to that X is becoming a “death star laser for coordinated hate sessions”.
Others questioned Elon’s double standards when it came to Russia, implying that the other side might not love Twitter’s boss as much as he does – X is completely banned in the Russian Federation with Duma’s orders blatantly linking American platforms like X, Facebook & Snapchat to ‘extremist groups’ without consideration to lift the ban.
On The Flipside
- Despite the critique coming from Vitalik Buterin & Charles Hoskinson, most recent commentary suggests there’s a bright side to it.
- On Christmas, Vitalik praised Elon Musk’s move to natively integrate Grok on X, making huge strides towards “truth-friendliness”.
Why This Matters
Platforms like X are pivotal to the crypto community, hosting many crypto-related digital events on X Spaces. Despite the different interests among users, steering clear of the political drama on X has become hardly avoidable.
