Twitter’s new owner and CEO, Elon Musk, has been following the FTX-Sam Bankman-Fried saga on his recently acquired social media platform, as shared and analysed by the crypto community.

His social media jab at the founder and former CEO of FTX comes less than a week after he tweeted that Sam Bankman-Fried set off his ‘BS detector’ when he proposed a $3 billion Twitter investment in April this year.

According to a Wall Street Journal report, Mr Musk said on Wednesday, during court proceedings in Delaware, that he expected to reduce his time at Twitter and ‘find somebody else to run [it] over time.’
