Mike Winkelmann (aka Beeple), an American digital artist and graphic designer, has received massive criticism on X, formerly Twitter, after sharing immoral content on his timeline. Beeple’s immoral tweet has ignited sensation and a heated debate among his X followers.
In my opinion, he never deserved the attention he got. I was suspicious of him from the very beginning. And now it’s getting worse and worse. But it’s ‘art’.
But i think at some point he will cross a line.— ⚜️The Hodl Magnate⚜️ (@TheHodlMagnate) December 28, 2023
