Alien science expedition commander: "We want to give these humans a wide birth. They are still very primitive."
Alien president: "They don't have space technology?"
Alien science expedition commander: "Oh no, they have space technology, and are well on their way to colonizing planets. Normally they would be ideal candidates to join our Federation and benefit from our advanced technology. No the problem is they still use NFTs."


Honestly, that CNN Business article earlier in today's news is probably right. Musk is having buyer's remorse because he was going to finance a big chunk of the Twitter purchase off the value of Tesla stock. As I've pointed out before, he may be the world's richest man ON PAPER but that's all tied to Tesla stock. Tesla stock is now worth 30% less than it was when he made the initial offer. He should just pay the Billion 'walkaway' penalty and call it a day, but he wants a get out of jail free card. The irony is he could easily spend more than that billion trying to litigate his way out of this.

Think how cool it would be to send the first tweet in space.

How much cooler to then turn it into an NFT!

And then send the first space tweet NFT back into space!

Terrible idea. If there are advanced alien civilizations out there and they get ahold of these space tweet NFTs, that may be the justification they need to wipe us out. RIP humanity...

Counter point: They no longer feel we're worth the bother due to such stupidity. So in fact, NFTs in space will save us from hostile alien attacks. They're not entirely worthless!

Crap, does elon know that Twitter has lawyers.
I hope Twitter gets a big chunk of SpaceX. Think how cool it would be to send the first tweet in space.

Titter?

Twitter will soon own Tesla. Will rebrand to Twesla.
