Elon Musk and Aphex Twin Release NFTs
Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) are the hottest way for your already-rich faves to get even richer. The latest movers and shakers to hit the virtual auction are world’s wealthiest man Elon Musk and electronic music legend Richard James, better known as Aphex Twin.

“Who would have ever imagined that?” Kimmel marveled as Stefani said she’s first up in the incredulity line, noting that it’s hard for her to even remember those crazy mid ’90s band days.

It was kind of depressing. It was kind of nostalgic. It was a very str...
