Edward Snowden is ready to become Twitter CEO for bitcoin pay

Aside from Edward, we have another contender on the line ~ Snoop Dogg.

Snoop Dogg wants to be CEO of Twitter

Nah, that's a bloody joke. If he became the CEO then Twitter would be rapped into bankruptcy because he has no prior leadership experience

Yeah, a joke that's been startled by most Twitter users that have responded to Elon's poll survey.

Elon's category for the next CEO he said as someone who's "foolish enough". Well then, we don't know what's on his mind and if this is going to be the standard that he really wants.

But yeah, this is certainly a joke and he's not a CEO material if it's Twitter.

This would never happen. He's got too much dirt on him and has made many enemies that you rather die than see him become Twitter's CEO. Besides Elon wouldn't fancy the idea of paying anyone in Bitcoin because he is a doge coin supporter.

I think that the news can be read in more than one way, although it is difficult to read what is behind its lines :
- Even if Musk agreed, he would enter into a procedural adventure, as Snowden is wanted by the US authorities.
This will be considered the end of the glory of Twitter because the Americans will continue to accuse Russia of controlling its internal affairs.
- Snowden's inclusion of Bitcoin as a means of payment cannot be innocent, because why didn't he ask for Dodge instead, given that Musk is a big supporter of it.
- Snowden may be looking for media attention again so as not to lose sight of the limelight, and he is making this suggestion as a joke and not a real show.

I'm not even sure if it would be possible for whoever owns Twitter to hire someone like Snowden who I do believe is still exiled, and a wanted criminal. Whether you agree with the reasoning or not for his wanted arrest, that basically makes him unemployable by anyone within these countries that want him arrested.

Elon would basically have to give him the company, as far as my understanding goes. Although, as for the original post I don't really find this surprising that someone like Snowden would want to be paid in Bitcoin. I think it's quite obvious he's been using cryptocurrency for a long time, and was probably one of the early adopters. Snowden is all about privacy, and security. He uses Qubes OS, and various other software level security practices, probably only uses a certain brand of computer, and treats his privacy like its gold Bitcoin.

Also, the news sources it's coming from isn't exactly reputable. I haven't clicked to go read it, so if there's further links in there to a source, it'd be great if someone could link it. I don't use Twitter, so maybe Snowden tweeted something like this directly?

I was supportive of Snowden for a while because I really don't think whistleblowers should be prosecuted, given the importance of the things they make public. That being said, there are a couple of things to note in his particular case. One is that allegedly the majority of stuff he disclosed was not about mass surveillance and stuff like that, but about US military techniques and capabilities, which does pose a serious threat to national security. Another very major thing is that he not only fled to Russia but became a Russian citizen in 2022, in the middle of the war, and swore allegiance to that country. For me, as a Ukrainian, that's something I cannot accept. So whether he supports Bitcoin or not and regardless of how good or bad of a Twitter CEO he could be, I'm happy he won't be.

Interesting that a person applying for the CEO position of Twitter is asking for payment in Bitcoin. That is how strong bitcoin has become over the years. More adoption yet to come and we may see even the majority workforce in USA getting paid in bitcoin.

Honestly I saw this on the twitter itself but this was more like a Joke made by Snowden on the Twitter post by Elon Musk. I don't think there is any genuineness connected with this. Also as far as I know Twitter's head office is in USA, so unless Elon is planning to shift it somewhere in Russia, possibility of this looks really grim to me for sure. Also not sure how would the American Employees of the company be happy about such a thing.
