Bitcoin Forum

Elon Musk the founder of SpaceX and Tesla made a tweet about buying bitcoin from his official verified twitter  account, and no his account was not hacked lmao, even twitter thought his account was hacked can't blame twitter though lol. It's pertinent to note that his tweet deserves to be taken seriously, remember Teslaquilla his April fool tweet will soon be a reality. I see a potential whale in him, but given his stressful conditions wonder he'll be good for bitcoins or he'll mess it up, cause this guy won't be in for one or two bitcoins he has the capacity to buy and sell major volumes.

I don't know if "swooned" would be the right word. I think he tweeted that more of as a joke and obviously not in a serious way. But whatever. Joke or not, publicity is publicity.

Anyway, for those who don't want to view the article, here's a screenshot of the Tweet (https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1054520588734058496)

I respect and trust the thoughts of Elon Musk. This is a very smart man. I even began to read a book about him and learned a lot of new things for myself

I think it was a light humor from one of the most innovative thinker of our time and nothing else!! Also it was not a regular tweet from Elon Musk, it was essentially a reply to @vicentes and @Grimezsz. I tried to look at their comments but twitter isn't showing them up because of the huge number of replies to the original tweet! That's the reason why I am unable to understand the context.

However, it's always good to hear anything about bitcoin or cryptos in general from the famous personalities!

I think he was just bored and nothing more, his tweet have absolutely no effect on crypto market. Maybe best comment on his tweet is come from Binance founder Changpeng "Lol, it's spreading. I will buy a Tesla if you accept crypto..."

He is just one more person who wants to trigger public reactions with his not always smart statements. Musk is even under investigation of SEC (https://www.inc.com/erik-sherman/the-sec-is-investigating-elon-musks-tweets-this-is-a-big-problem-for-tesla.html) because of his tweets, which means only that his hand is faster than his mind sometimes.

All publicity is good publicity.

The hearts of people are easily won by way of personalities in the limelight. Even if it was a joke, this man knows where the world is heading because he's helping to create its future, which is more digitized futuristic than anyone could've ever expected.

Human minds merged with AI with neuralinks, global broadband internet thanks to his internet satellites, hyperloops, self-driving cars, mars..

I wouldn't say that he is planning to buy BTC or anything looking at that tweet. Looks like a joke but he could actually buy.

This is a cryptic tweet but my guess is that he will create a world changing crypto exchange that links everything together. PayPal, fiat, bitcoin, and altcoins. If anyone can do it, it is Elon Musk

But then its true that way back I think 2016 or maybe even earlier he already bought a lot of bitcoin, I read it in this forum too which a popular magazine published they they invest in bitcoin. I don't think he is serious about selling his coins now that its a bear market.


Is possible that they will accept BTC on day. They are investor themselves.

I wouldn't trust a word to come of out Musk's mouth in the last few months. He always seemed to be a bit of a fruit-loop but he now seems to be losing his marbles at an ever increasing rate. How the CEO of major companies can go around calling rescue divers pedophiles is beyond me. I think mostly everything he's doing lately is either a sign of impending insanity or a very calculated maneuver to lower the stock price of Tesla in a later bid to take it private at a cheaper cost. Given all that I don't think anyone should take this tweet seriously.

Light humor - agree (probably a bit of seriousness too)
Most innovative thinker of our time - agree

It is for sure great to hear words of a neutral to positive nature from a very
famous and current celebrity.  Elon Musk has the power to shape the
markets to some degree. I like what he is doing and i like that he is a bitcoinist.

This is only an unimportant tweet made by a millionaire in his twitter account, nothing more. If someone is going to get excited because of this tweet, he will be disappointed soon.

I actually think he was serious about buying bitcoin.  A guy as smart as Elon Musk can see how big of an impact cryptocurrency will have on the global market.  This will help spike demand considering how large Musk's fanbase is.  Elon has some of the most loyal fans that do anything he says.  I hope SpaceX and Tesla succeed, Musk seems like he has been under a lot of stress lately and its starting to take a toll on his health.

Knowing that the dude spends 100-hour work weeks, it's quite impressive that he actually has some time to find a weab picture of a girl representing bitcoin and making a tweet about it. While the post seems to be satirical and made for good humor, it's still publicity at the end of the day, and might paint a positive impression on some people that the SpaceX and Tesla top dog is supporting a cryptocurrency--which would, to me, be not surprising considering that the man is an advocate of technology.

Good to see some light things going on around the ecosystem instead of the crazy rhetorical "why is bitcoin losing x/gaining y" posts.

I don't see anything in his tweet that will make me swoon. I think it's just a random tweet and more likely a funny one.
Well who wouldn't mind dome free publicity. Anyway, don't take his tweet too seriously.
There are many celebrities and big whales who keep posting tweets about bitcoin but none of them actually matters.
Some of them though, might result in a short term spike but there is really nothing improvising by tweets for bitcoin.

The tweet was a reply is his message about loving anime, so I think it's more about anime than about bitcoin. Looks like an attempt to create a meme, rather than an offer to buy btc or a thought inspiring to do it. He migh've also been using irony since Musk fake accounts are known for scamming people on their cryptocurencies. The time to buy is good, though, but it's been this way for months and will probably continue to be so, so no rush is necessary. Maybe the viral character of the tweet will lead him to taking cryptocurrencies seriously. It can be a great reuinon of technological improvements of Teslas and btc.

I can see him having his own coin, I hope his not that kind of person, I hope he makes himself a provider for bitcoin. Joining the developments and all.  So excited about what he can bring for us.

It comes down to a differnt timeframe for him, the new emerging markets will be what will interest him the most. For this person it has become routine to do the unexpected. For many people they cant handle it when certain indivduals think outside the traditional aspect of operation. His knowledge and imagination had an exponential growth during his early 20's. :o :o

lol, he is not gonna be a whale. He has enough on his plate , with Tesla, Spacex and Boring company. There is a bigger chance that he is going to buy Tesla's stock rather than BTC.
The tweet most likely has something to do with some kind of promotion which he will do with one of his companies.

this is very good news for the entire market because it will help us grow in price because such an influential person claims that he is buying Bitcoin

It was a light humor from one of the most innovative thinker of our time and nothing else. It's always good to hear anything about bitcoin or cryptos in general from the famous personalities. PayPal,fiat,bitcoin and altcoins. If anyone can do it,it's Elon Musk.

If Elon Musk tweeted about it, then there is definitely something cooler in it. But the tweet kinda seems like a joke, as he was mocking someone. But if he really meant that, then it's a great news for crypto.

Elon Musk might be tweeting for the sake of humor but if he is serious about investing in the crypto economy it would only mean good things for cryptocurrency. If he does get into cryptocurrency the market could be effected in a positive way due to his influence as a pioneer who now believes in crypto. But it remains to be seen as this is speculation.

With what I understand regarding your inquiry for regulations in MALTA it is in your best interest to do a little digging on your own. As you can't be sure of the accuracy of information regarding regulations from here when there are several platforms that do offer in-depth information related to regulations. Hopefully you'll find what you're looking for.

Elon is a humorous person. There is a high possibillity that it is just a joke. But if he really want to invest in bitcoin that will be a great news. Tesla and bitcoin contributing together would be a treat to watch.

Light humour indeed.
I think he subtly made it clear that he is absolutely in support of cryptocurrency, and bitcoin in particular.
He may already have large volumes in possession, and only gave information about it in a passive manner. For someone like Elon musk to support BitCoin wont be a surprise because the guy has demonstrated his adventurous character through his successful business venture.
I wish him success to his current troubles.

Yeah just a troll post. If you read the comments on most of his tweets the top replies are almost always bitcoin or crypto trolls. Oh send .1 Bitcoin to get 10 bitcoin etc.

Elon Musk is undoubtedly one of the brightest minds of this time. And yes, he is for sure stressed in all his days due to his current situation. But of course, if he decides to scoop up some BTC and become a player,  he is more than able to do so. I have no doubt that many of these high profiled tycoons are now secretly or discreetly participating in the crypto market for profit. I'll do the same if I was one of them!

Too late Elon. He took a pronounced anti-Bitcoin view until a few months back. To tell the truth, I don't really like this guy. He used unfair means to earn profits for his Space X venture. A tweet will not make him a saint in front of my eyes.

this was indeed an interesting incident that stirred up some drama in the social media but we shouldn't forget that it is not a correct thing to make investment decisions based on what other people are doing. for example you should never buy bitcoin because Elon Musk or anyone else talked about it or bought bitcoin. instead you should only buy bitcoin after you analyzed it yourself and saw the potential in it and only if you actually wanted to be involved in this unique decentralized currency.

I've come across another "Elon Musk's" tweet recently on my feed. That was a fake account with fake verified status which promoted bitcoin giveaway (around 1 billion btc was at stake). It was claimed that you have to send a certain amount of btc from your wallet so that your account can be verified for the giveaway. It looked rather compelling so be careful guys, don't rise to the bait of scammers.

This could be a use of satire. Either ways, even if its meant to be a joke, this was a form of publicity, which can be seen as a positive scene for Bitcoin.

Honestly it seems to be a publicity stunt. But whether it is for real or not, the tweet is helping to spread the word of bitcoin more.

This is just a mere publicity stunt, as a member of engineered field Must must encourage people to but and learn and onvest onto it. Even if it is a joke, which is emmines with the anime pic, it tis good that, billionaires are taking a look into it.

This is not anything serious I guess. He might be joking. But it's a good way to do some publicity.

It doesn't imply that he would buy BTC and it is just a joke.  A tweet from him shouldn't make us excited but, I think, he has some coins even if its quantity is not so important. This tweet is about the anime and he likes it. That's all.

He was just joking around it seems and twitter simply over reacted a lot lol but eh its security measures

Reading tweets of such smart people who have influence on economy is a good thing for the crypto community. Even though they don't show an interest on cryptocurrencies at its start, they can't stand the trend and somehow start to mention about cryptocurrencies in public.

Elon Musk is not learning from his previous mistakes. Last time he tweeted about stocks and Tesla, the people accused him of insider trading or something similar ???

Now, people will say he bought bitcoins and he is trying to hype the price up to sell at a profit. He has many followers and a tweet like this can be misconstrued as market manipulation.  ::)

The guy has a lot of money and a lot of power to influence people, he should use it responsibly.  ;)

The main Elon Musk Tesla stock tweet was that he had funding secured to take Tesla private. It seems to be that no such plan was fully secure so the SEC fined him personally and the company.

Recently Musk has been tweeting a lot about anime and Catgirls. Perhaps we should go all in an animecoin or catgirl token.  ;D ;D ;D

It's actually doing more harm than good. People adding value to tweets just tells me that we have a very long way to go in order to finally get rid of Bitcoin's niche aspect.

His words are meaningless in the grand scheme of things, just like how the negative words of influential anti Bitcoiners are meaningless in the grand scheme of things. It's always those who don't contribute to anything being the loudest, while the people who are busy building up Bitcoin's foundation do it silently, which is how it should be because they let their actions speak for them.

I guess it wasn't very serious. Already in the market did not react to such a development. Still, we know that Musk is interested in crypto coins.

the market didn't react because the trend is not in the same direction as that tweet. the same thing is true when some FUD comes out. whenever there is some kind of news like this that is about to change the price, it can only do so if it is in the same direction as the market trend.
for instance if a good news comes out during a rise, it will contribute to the rise and make it bigger and if it comes out during a drop it will be either ineffective or slows it down.
right now we are in a stable phase which means any news is ineffective unless it is ridiculously huge!

Even Elon Musk supports bitcoin. I trust him a lot. He has a right to give advice as he is very successful, smart, and rich man. Maybe his Twitter posts will finally enliven the dead crypto market. All the tools will be helpful.

It is always nice to have important personalities take interest in the cryptocurrency and acknowledge them. It gets people thinking and they can influence the use of cryptocurrency. Imagine if bitcoin is accepted as a means of payment for Tesla.

All these big shots are the holding cryptocurrencies from long time and many times these people just create a fud and panic in the market so that they can buy more crypto.

Well, I think the public opinion of him isn't that great at the moment. So it's cool to see him promote BTC but I'm not too sure how the public has received this promotion.

The market is changing. If you look carefully, a swing in the price of bitcoin don't necessarily mean all other coins will follow. So, how many BTC will he buy that will cause a stir in the market?  It is exciting though to see such persons develop interest in BTC and cryptocurrency. It is the way money is going to. But I rather will be more excited to see mass adoption of bitcoin than want to celebrate a whale.

After his tweet tech firm suspected that his account has been compromised and Twitter blocked his account. The Tesla & SpaceX founder recently tweeted a girl wearing Bitcoin-themed cloth (enime character) with the text "wanna buy some Bitcoin"? However, Tweeter declined to comment on this matter and the account was locked down rather than blocked.

Twitter has always been exciting and fascinating. If bitcoin would gain the necessary recognition, then it is very crucial for all influential crypto enthusiasts to spread the amazing story behind bitcoin through social media platforms such as bitcoin. But I believe we should not be allowed for people with greater reputation to cause panic or FUD that would scare investors.

I see it thanks! Maybe, it is just a persuasive tweet for those who does not believe in bitcoin. Due to the current situation of bitcoin as well as cryptocurrency, many people are still in contemplation whenever they will gonna buy their shares to the market. Well, it is a good sign that there are some people who still believe in bitcoin and promote it to the world.

Elon already accepts BTC if you want to buy a new Tesla with crypto. I can imagine one day people paying for a ride into space with BTC.
