The tweet triggered a flurry of responses from several Twitter users who expressed their support for theproposal.

A surprise chat between tech billionaireElonMuskand Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev on new audio-based social network Clubhousepropelled the app to the top of the startup charts and sparked a scramble for invitations to the exclusive service.

ForMusk's appearance with the boss of the trading app Robinhood, the maximum capacity of 5,000 people was quickly reached, so secondary overflow "rooms" were opened.

The interaction between the two entrepreneurs on the platform last week came amid intense interest in the news around Robinhood, the online brokerage caught up in a wild stockmarket battle between retail investors and big Wall Street funds.

Demand for invitations to the less-than-a-year-old service -- members get to invite a limited number of friends during its pre-launch period -- is so hot, a market for them has grown on platforms like Reddit, eBay, and Craigslist.
