Cardano founder throws funny response at Vitalik Buterin’s take on Twitter CEO search
In a recent tweet, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin urged Elon Musk not to make a hasty appointment for Twitter CEO. The CEO of Tesla, which acquired Twitter in late October to the excitement of many Twitter users, expressed his desire to step down as CEO once he finds “someone stupid enough to take the job”.
This came as over 57.5% of users voted in favor of his resignation, a result he promised to adhere to.
The Ethereum creator indicated that, as much as he is eager to see who will be the next CEO, an overly hasty executive search could lead to disastrous results; “I know this from painful personal experience,” Buterin quipped.
Buterin’s tweet caught the attention of the Cardano founder, Charles Hoskinson, who responded by expressing that he shared the same view. “That’s funny, thought the same thing,” Hoskinson tweeted. Given the history of the relationship between the two founders, some Twitter users have read various meanings into Charles Hoskinson’s “seemingly innocuous” tweet.
Hoskinson left Ethereum after falling out with the other co-founders over differing opinions on whether the Ethereum project should be commercial. Thus, Buterin and Hoskinson have a history of conflict.
After he eventually left Ethereum in June 2014, Hoskinson seemed to have reconciled with Buterin.
During a recent ask-me-anything session, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson expressed his readiness to work with Vitalik Buterin again.
He claims that if the project is right for him, he would be willing to collaborate with the Ethereum co-founder. As reported by U.Today, Hoskinson teased Buterin that it was not too late for him to switch to Cardano earlier this year.
