The song was about NFT itself and the lyrics go “NFT for your vanity. Computers never sleep. It’s verified. It’s guaranteed.”
The tweet also contained a video loop where a trophy was displayed with “NFT” at the top and “HODL” at the bottom.
Musk woke up on Tuesday and decided not to sell. The self-proclaimed Technoking tweeted “Actually doesn’t feel quite right selling this. Will pass.”
NFTs are digital files that are stored on the blockchain. They can be used to sell items like music, video clips, and images online. The best part of purchasing an NFT is that the validity and ownership of the item can be tracked.
