Elon Musk shocked the internet when he offered to acquire Twitter outright. While some were outraged, Charles Hoskinson, the founder of Cardano, offered his support. This support came in the shape of a new social media platform to replace the old one.

He intended to buy the company at $54.20 per share, claiming that privatization would help to protect free expression. This drew a lot of attention from a variety of people. While some increased their offer, a few others decided to team up with Musk to launch a completely new platform.
The cryptocurrency market is centered on decentralization. At least, that’s how it started. Taking this to the domain of social media, Cardano’s Charles Hoskinson suggested that the Tesla CEO work with him to create a decentralized social media network. He wrote on Twitter:
@elonmusk Elon if Twitter rejects your offer, then hit me up. Happy to build a decentralized one
— Charles Hoskinson (@IOHK_Charles) April 14, 2022The possibility of working with Musk and launching a decentralized social media platform would be revolutionary. Speculations about this platform began to flood in. Several people proposed that Cardano [ADA] would be the platform’s coin. The bitcoin community was also expected to relocate to this potential site, leaving Twitter behind.
Not everyone is pleased with Musk’s interest in Twitter

He blatantly called Musk out for launching a hostile takeover of Twitter. He further tweeted:
It takes some pretty impressive mental gymnastics to associate any type of "freedom" with the richest man in the world initiating a hostile takeover and forcing one of the largest public social media platforms private.

“There are some limits on free speech in the U.S., and Twitter would have to abide by those rules. In my view, Twitter should match the country’s laws; there is an obligation to do that. But having no insights into what’s going on behind the scenes can be very dangerous.”
Additionally, with his possible acquisition, he intended to retain as many of its shareholders. He stressed the fact that economics wasn’t his interest at all.
