However, although Musk is known as one of his closest cryptocurrency friends, according to the latest information, this system will not include cryptocurrencies.

Social media platforms have historically struggled to incorporate crypto: Facebook announced plans to launch the Diem stablecoin in 2019, but was shut down by regulators within a year of its pilot.
