Changpeng Zhao, former CEO of cryptocurrency exchange Binance, expressed his opinion on the need to ban bots on Elon Musk's X social network.
Zhao's Proposal
Zhao emphasizes his desire to interact only with humans on the X platform and urges Musk to disable API posting. While he acknowledges that AI agents can be useful for routine tasks, he questions the need to 'socialize' with them.
Issues with Bots on X
Elon Musk has long been combating bots on the platform, yet the issue is only worsening. X generates fake traffic as bot-making turns into an industry. Musk's idea of charging a small fee for each post to eliminate bots faced backlash and is unlikely to be implemented.
Financial Support for Musk
It is noteworthy that Changpeng Zhao contributed $500 million to Elon Musk's purchase of Twitter in 2022. Last December, Zhao expressed his 'happiness' about supporting Musk's initiative.
Zhao calls for Musk to take decisive action against bots on X, despite the ongoing challenge. His past financial support for Musk underscores the seriousness of his intentions.
