Elon Musk’s attempt to take over Twitter has split the community - some people seem to support the centibillionaire's move, while others are against it, with the Ripple CTO being one of the latter. David Schwartz has accused Musk of wishing to use the social media giant to give "better treatment to political speech that he favors."

Dogecoin co-founder Jackson Palmer has not supported the Tesla boss either, saying that he is the last person who should own Twitter.
