Hi,

I presume this is Fake News https://the15min.com/bin/musk-invests-in-a-startup-to-help-people-achieve-financial-independence/

As fake as it gets in my opinion. Elon is a hero of mine and if he ever does launch an ICO, get in quick :)

This article 100% looks like fake - very scammy manner.
BTW Elon is the greatest person of nowdays. If he really would be interested in crypto we'll know about it from his twitter ;)

That's fakest ever. Elon's ultimate goal is to make our species an interplanetary beings, although Elon jumping on fintech is not too far fetch and I don't think he'll quite tesla and spaceX to do fintech he might just do all of them at the same time. He's thought process is rarely incredible so it's not impossible that he might just do other things while doing he's existing stuff too.

I found another link to the article here http://cnn-moneynews.com/Elon-Mask-invests-72-million-on-a-tech-startup/
The site CNN-Moneynews does not belong to CNN and it is even not available anymore. It seems it is a hoax. I think someone tried to spread FUD in order to dump the Tesla share price. You can make a lot of money shorting a hyped company with fake news.

Lol, they're not even trying anymore.

...well, I lol'd so...

If this were true and Elon Musk quit Tesla, this would be big news also for main stream media. I do not know, what they try to achieve by posting this kind of fake news, but as there is only one report from a dubious side, it looks like fake news to me. 

If Elon was leaving, he would have said it himself :)

Musk may be quite creative and great at selling ideas to people, but the fanboy-ism from lots of people is cringeworthy. With the amount of funding and subsidies that he gets (and burns through), many people would be able to try out as many ideas as he has.

Given the funding and everything pre-made, with a great team, perhaps. But building the vision and ideas, getting that funding and subsidies, building the teams, leading them to "victory". Not so much. I am just a semi-fanboy here, think he does some great things and often makes a lot of sense. But I am sure there is always more to the story..

Now if he were to get into crypto, and given a chance I would definitely jump on it. But then so would too many others and I'd be late again :)

lol Elon is way too smart to do an ICO, anyone with brains can smell the bullshit of 99% of ICO scams a mile away.

im not even going to open that link because this is just FAKE NEWS
actually I came into this thread just to have a look at the comments  ;D
