After years of rampant speculation and frantic tea-leaf reading by cryptocurrency fans—and Dogecoin fans in particular—tech billionaire Elon Musk coldly put to rest any prospects of Twitter (or X) launching its own crypto token.

The news came not in a formal announcement, or even a Twitter post, but in a reply to another user.

"Elon Musk and 𝕏 never launched a crypto token," warned user @DogeDesigner—who has 240,000 followers and several past interactions with both Musk and now-CEO of X Linda Yaccarino. The tweet included an image of news article headlines falsely claiming that it had.

Musk replied with a stern one-liner: “And we never will.”
