Crypto Community Calls on Elon Musk to Delete Satoshi 'X' Account

4/10/2023

The crypto community is urging Elon Musk to remove a X (formerly Twitter) profile claiming to be Satoshi Nakamoto, the alleged creator of Bitcoin, as well as the "Bitcoin" account. They argue that these accounts violate the platform's terms of service, which prohibit "misleading and deceptive" identities. Users cite X's terms and conditions, which state that individuals may not misappropriate someone else's identity without disclosing they are a parody account. The true identity of Satoshi Nakamoto has been a longstanding mystery, and the Satoshi X account is reportedly operated by a user named Andy Rowe. The account had been inactive since 2018 but recently posted a message related to Bitcoin. The crypto community supports the removal of these accounts, labeling them as embarrassing and calling for their immediate deactivation.
