Elon Musk is not happy with Twitter’s move to let users set non-fungible tokens (NFTs) as their profile pictures.

The Tesla CEO has termed the integration “annoying”, adding that Twitter is wasting engineering resources.

The billionaire will prefer that the company focuses on trying to curb the activities of scammers on its platform.

Twitter recently started rolling out NFT features that allowed Twitter Blue users on iOS to set NFTs as profile pictures.

Rather than the round-type display picture, these profile photos are displayed in a hexagonal shape.

Elon Musk’s recent criticism of the platform is due to the rising number of crypto giveaway scams by people impersonating notable figures on Twitter.

“Twitter is spending engineering resources on this bs while crypto scammers are throwing a spambot block party in every thread.”

Twitter’s new NFT feature comes months after it allowed users to send and receive Bitcoin on its platform.
