Autism Capital calls for Vitalik Buterin’s comeback to X, Elon Musk joins in

According to the influencer, Vitalik’s use of the decentralized social media platform Farcaster and spending time with a smaller group of peers aren’t helping Ethereum grow. Autism Capital urged the Ethereum co-founder to “get back on X,” claiming it would have a much greater impact on the project’s development.

Space X CEO Elon Musk also joined the conversation, inquiring about Buterin’s departure.

“Why did he leave?” asked Musk, prompting a flood of responses from community participants.

One user speculated that Buterin’s decision could have been influenced by the increasing number of bot accounts on the platform.

However, a Feb. 18 report revealed that Farcaster wasn’t fully bot—and spam-free. Several users have started noticing a drop in conversation quality despite the platform’s growing popularity.

Buterin himself had weighed in on the matter while still considering Farcaster a viable X alternative. He added that addressing the issue of increasing spam was Farcaster’s next challenge.
