However, some of the older tweets of CZ state the other way round.

The tweets resurfaced on Twitter after CZ declined the claims of WazirX’s complete ownership.

[{"selector":"#anim-a320358a-eb4d-4d6b-b55f-0ccfd061d230","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f24883f8-9855-4eb0-8abb-f3910459090a","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-92.21312%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

CZ tried to distance Binance from WazirX and blamed the Indian crypto exchange for the ongoing mess.

[{"selector":"#anim-6c4dcaee-6291-4bb8-ad2b-08ad08a4ae76","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5ecd3e58-8a39-4ff6-bfa8-c0047dbeefbb","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-91.18237%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

But in some past tweets last year he had used terms like ’Binance-owned Indian crypto exchange’ for WazirX.

[{"selector":"#anim-25c41fff-cc8d-4626-8a21-794cc82213df","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e6b399ba-8954-444e-9954-aed434e6b175","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-92.41803%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Both Binance and CZ are being mocked for changing their grounds on the matter.

[{"selector":"#anim-b646b588-d1ce-488b-949f-8eed04cb24de","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3ff1ea8a-f89c-4c9c-8ea2-11c45c9a1023","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-95.28689%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

If Binance never truly owned WazirX then why did the exchange market itself like that, Twitter users questioned.
