So, after Musk called Altman “Scam Altman” on X (because nothing says “I’m serious” like a tweet), ZachXBT decided it was his moment to shine. He’s calling Worldcoin’s token structure “predatory”-basically, the crypto equivalent of a timeshare scam. And he’s not stopping there; he’s comparing them to Sam Bankman-Fried and FTX. Ouch.
