Elon Musk and Jack Dorsey may soon be having a conversation about bitcoin after a tongue-in-cheek interaction between the two on Twitter.

The two are known to have differing views on the world's largest cryptocurrency. Dorsey, the CEO of Twitter and the payment company Square, is a strong bitcoin supporter, telling attendees at the Bitcoin 2021 Conference earlier this month: "I don't think there is anything more important in my lifetime to work on."

Musk, on the other hand, made headlines in May after stating his electric car company Tesla would no longer be accepting the cryptocurrency as payment, citing environmental concerns.

On Thursday night, the South African-born billionaire took to Twitter to tease "bitcoin maxis"—a term used to describe ardent bitcoin supporters—by asking how many it would take to screw in a lightbulb.

It is therefore significant that Dorsey and Musk may come together to discuss the cryptocurrency at The B Word cryptocurrency initiative, due to launch July 21.

The discussion was proposed by Dorsey to Musk in a Twitter thread after the Twitter boss said: "Let's you and I have a conversation at the event. You can share all your curiosities… Let's have THE talk."

Musk replied: "For the Bitcurious? Very well then, let's do it."
