Why did Vitalik abandon X? Elon Musk is asking, and the crypto community is questioning.

Elon Musk just asked an uncomfortable question: Why did Vitalik Buterin disappear from X?

The founder of Ethereum hardly tweets on Musk's platform, while the group “Autism Capital” warns that his absence is a problem for the entire crypto community. And Musk, obviously, noticed the void.

The drama behind the screen

Vitalik did not officially leave, but he migrated his activity to Farcaster, a decentralized social network that he considers the future. While Musk dominates X with his controlled chaos, Vitalik prefers an open protocol where users have real control over their identities and data.

The irony: the man who controls X is asking why the most important man in Ethereum chose him over a decentralized rival.

Why it matters

With the crypto market valued at $2.5 trillion, Vitalik's voice moves markets. His absence on X means:

• The key debates about Ethereum are happening elsewhere.
• X loses influence in the crypto narrative
• Decentralization is gaining ground ( although slowly )

More than a personal drama, it is an ideological battle: centralized vs. decentralized networks. And while Musk asks, Vitalik has already voted with his feet.

The real question: Will other crypto leaders follow the same path?
