All of those who have read up on Elon Musk’s acquisition of Twitter have either stumbled across or imagined the Metaverse meeting Microblogging? For most, it would be taking imagination too far or not worth the thought. After all, Musk doesn’t even like Facebook being called Meta. But is that because he wants to implement it himself.
