FreeWallet locked even Elon Musk. I still don't trust them.

You are right not to trust them and any other service that doesn't provide you with the private keys.

This is worst than exchanges. At least in the exchanges you are depositing to trade, not to store coins!

Wait, so Elon using FreeWallet to store his coins, or he only give the wallet a try?
I think Elon doing some research first before using that wallet, and since a lot scam accusation agains it, he decide to give it a try.
Whatever reason, hope Elon got his coins back and not store a lot of money on that wallet.

He was on a hunt for a wallet app I guess to store the doge coins he bought for his kid but how he end up testing the FreeWallet i have no idea. I think they mentioned him in a tweet and then all that happend.
I'm sure he has experts on how to store 1B+ worth of crypo so this and they have quite nice secured vault of it. This was just for 'fun'.

Got curious so I checked. For so much shady stuff they've done, I'm utterly shocked how decent or far-better-than-expected their Google Play and Apple App Store ratings are. They probably deserve mostly 1.5-2 out of 5.

I see, so it just for 'fun'.
Well, glad to see his fund are safe.

some time ago there were rumors if twitter from elon musk attacked hackers. It's possible that Freewallet is currently protecting elon musk's assets from such hackers because I'm sure that Elon Musk can't possibly take away the assets he's investing in.

The fact that Elon tweeted about Freewallet doesn't necessarily mean he must be having an account there. Although, he might it doesn't mean he would be storing his coins there.
Elon is a pretty smart guy and he would definitely know that "Not your keys, not your coins". May be just tweeted this so that he makes people aware of using only non-custodial wallets.
Freewallet just got some free publicity though  Good for them if they are improving their services now onwards.
Anybody wise enough wouldn't use custodial wallets to store large amount of coins obviously.

"Your app sucks" That was just HILAROUS. 
Not your keys not your funds, cryptocurrency Rule number 1

Elon may be trolling them and may not even have any accounts with this company. It is hard to believe someone who claims to believe in bitcoin for such a long time is using some poorly created web wallet for his billion dollar worth of bitcoins!

I smell something fishy going on for sure. Elon won't use freewallet, unless it's for fun and to try them out. And he won't even ask them to unlock his account if he got it locked. He'd just move on.

Like you said, impossible he actually sent any coins to freewallet! Much Publicity damn.

[milani]

In the bright side, locking the account was the right thing to do. In case it was not the real Elon Musk? At least now there are no doubt left.

First my reaction was the same that something is false in this story, but after I checked their accounts and read their comments to each other I was laughing. LOL it is really funny. 😂😂 But some thought came to my mind - may be Ilon was trolling them, but imagine how many people have checked already, and will check the Twitter account of Freewallet, information about this wallet in case someone did not know about it, and in some strange way they became more popular in a day after Ilon's comments. May be it was such a veiled publicity stunt?))) 😁😁

I don't know about this, but Elon said himself to freewallet "Please unlock my account". So yeah he has account on there and storing 'some' of coins in there.

[pooya87]

Even if he used this wallet, it doesn't means that he keep his billions worth crypto there. He doesn't looks stupid enough to do it.

That's true but I was mostly talking about him believing in the technology, maybe I shouldn't have mentioned the billions of dollars part.
You see Elon Musk is not the average Joe that entered bitcoin hoping to make money, he doesn't need money since he is one of the richest men alive. He also has shown interest in the technology and what bitcoin offers not just the monetary value. That is why it is hard to believe someone like him using such a terrible wallet service.
