Elon musk is for crypto or just for attention to boost Tesla, SpaceX?

[rdbase]

Watching the lately spot about Musk appearing on live tv this weekend for showing what all the hype is about and if he will actually have a mention of his favorite cryptocurrency doge, it seems the media are jumping all over this appearance.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWWzszskgmA

What are your thoughts about this North American appearance and what do you think he will do or say about doge or even bitcoin?
I think since Miley Cyrus is the musical guest he will have her dress up as a dog and call her doge.
She likes cats and had dressed up as them on stage during her concerts, so you never know what these two crazy people will do on this episode.

Elon Musk is a cult figure for some of the smartest people on the planet. So what he's doing with the Dogecoin baffles me.
I mean, they say the Internet doesn't recognize any form of hierarchy, but I think Musk has delusions of god-like grandeur.

Basically, he is kind of joking around.
DOGE is THE prototype of a useless coin or "anti-bitcoin".
According to his "fate loves irony" statement, he propagated DOGE because he was sure that it will pump some day.
It became a self fulfilling prophecy, also because of his tweets.
On the other hand, following twitter for at least a whole Bitcoin halvening cycle, you may be aware that some - probably many - other people also wrote tweets like "DOGE!", "DOGE TO THA MOON!", and so on, which didn't get any attention.
Honestly, who DIDN'T think that DOGE will pump after Musk's related weets. I wonder if he took advantage or if he just did it for the lulz.

This is the first time I have seen someone say another coin is the anti-bitcoin.

What makes it so unappealing to the bitcoin maximalists and not some other coin such as ethereum?

Anyways the last tweet from elon really rallied the musketeers right before the big show tonight.

Think this will be the movement to mass media, whether that be good or bad for bitcoin, that crypto was waiting for.
I am not sure if I have succumb to the FUD but I think most who have suffered in the past year from what has been going on in the world (and still is!)
needed a break of this kind even if it is just a joke!

Probably for shit and giggles. 

Anyhow, it's an interesting and bold move from him, and it's could be a win-win for his Tesla and for us crypto enthusiast as well. For bitcoin yeah, we already know that they have invested billions already pushing the price and them liquidating some to make some profit.

For Doge though, he might be doing it for fun and obviously Doge is a meme coin and he just prove it.

And for Tesla, still doing good I guess, and it really pump during their bitcoin announcement, but it's been trading sideways, it touches almost $900.00 in February, and around $670.00 today.

[cabron]

Miley Cyrus wearing Doge, its funny but its also going to be a massive promotion to the youth.

Though I'm starting to look at him as the next John Macafee, this is still a big promotion for Doge. The Doge millionaire guy actually believes that Dogecoin will be a household name after this Elon announcement on SNL. Nothing to lose for Elon, he is going to win a lot of money from this.

[rdbase]

Yeah, I think McAfee was caught promoting alt coins and got nailed by the SEC when he got caught in the US.
So he was made an example for these characters not to use their celebrity status to FUD these alt coins so to pump their bags.
But those in the crypto space long enough know better... well I sure hope they do.

While checking some things on youtube in regards to this doge hype train, I found a song that was made dedicated to it which isn't half bad:
"A~G Lexis - DogeCoin Anthem feat. ibeshocker - Official DogeCoin Song"
https://youtu.be/SEHtBEbV63U

Also this one for the tweet he put out earlier today a day before the call out to the public for them to "Go to the doge!"
"Elon Musk Tweet vs Dogecoin Spikes"
Watching the price chart when the tweets were done during the pump up in price day to day:

Just let him promote to be honest, get your DOGE and hodl until the pump arrives and reap the profit, it is actually a good thing that we can predict when will a pump happens to a coin because we can make a guaranteed profot. Always follow the market because they always make you profit.

[rdbase]

This post from the Wall Observer thread got me enthralled on what was going on with all the crypto madness happening with this particular coin:

I saw a sad news story the other day. I am paraphrasing, it's easy to find. Some relatively young guy (30's) was celebrating loudly because he became a millionaire (on paper) with Doge. He had invested his life's savings (hundred-something K USD).

He said 'I grew up poor, I'm not selling any of it. I'll wait until it's 10 million, then I'll withdraw a million dollars.' Poor guy.

It's this guy...
https://twitter.com/ProTheDoge/status/1389559038896054273

There was an interview with this investor who put all his life savings into it on the robin hood exchange (why hold it on there I do not know ):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4OZMdWxJe_A

There was a follow-up with an update on his holdings on the platform after today:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAKKsohaaUo

Up over $2.79mln is no joke.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBqwhGaE9nM

But him mentioning he will only sell once it reaches $10mln.
After tomorrow let us see what happens as it is reaching the $1 prediction as most were hoping for before the controversial event.
Will Elon mention it or not and it dumps?
I do find it strange that an alt coin requires someone of influence to mention it just once for it's dependent to either survive or die.

Clip of these so called financial investors discussing about this guy's phenom investment in a cryptocurrency and not selling.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0fc3-Itg58

[virtualdn]

This guy is looking for attention, he seems to think he is a sort of superhero, but he is not, he just got the cash and feels powerful. I'm not one of the sheep to follow Musk blindly and I'm sure many others think the same.

[Stalker22]

Musk promises to "behave" on SNL tonight.

Musk appears in a preview for tonight's episode of Saturday Night Live. He is joined by musical guest Miley Cyrus and cast member Cecily Strong. Musk says he'll do his best to behave, but he also added, "I'm a wild card, so there's no telling what I might do."

Absolute craziness. Why wait for 10 million when he could simply cash out his profits right now? This guy is clearly a hardcore Dogecoin HODLER though exposing himself for the sake of popularity seems like a silly move.

Hackers could target him thanks to his massive investments which is why he should have stayed anonymous in my opinion. He is one fearless and gutsy guy.

Elon Musk is an excellent manager. He was always among the first to promote ideas and technologies and achieved success, having thought out all the logistics of the process in advance. That is why  Musk's opinion is trust, even it was joking. His one tweet raised the price of Doge, . It's no secret that the mass media and social networks are capable of manipulating public opinion. Many people recklessly trust the opinion of the  reputable successful individuals  and of the majority.

I agree with you on this, ELON MUSK has attained the high figure personality in the cryptocurrency space, and to have attained the title of dodge King and tesla as a business is benefiting from the high price because their investment has yielded 100 plus million dollars. That is a huge profit for the entire Elon Musk and tesla.

Don't be fooled by the hype the Elon Musk is creating, it is okay to do fundamental analysis but think twice before making decisions.

I know that some of us here are a fan of Elon Musk and Tesla but don't make twitter as a medium for hyping and play with market.

DOGE is what he is aiming for so that Tesla will become trending also, he is good at advertisement and no doubt, that's the reason why he became the most richest person in the world now.

[Reatim]

Same Views about on how He tries to make fun the market and ty to abuse those who believes in Him,

The way He speaks in social media these days proves His intentions , and that is to Try people make believe so whatever he may say or broadcast in the future , people will Buy and trust.
He seems to checking His popularity and appeal from people around crypto community and now with this Post , I see the motive behind all those recent statements , Thanks for enlightening this here Mate, you pointed out the main objective of this person.

[NeuroticFish]

He has the money, he has the time and he has found out crypto, hence he has a "new toy" he enjoys.
While Bitcoin is a good store of value and a great investment vehicle (which will make Tesla look profitable even if they don't meet the shareholders' expectations as car maker), Dogecoin is a coin with big community and huge amount of hopium, which can be played. I don't know if Elon does all this pump game, I think that somebody else is profiting that Elon has this new toy and Elon just doesn't mind, since he's also on profit because of this.
About what he says.. it's rather unpredictable, isn't it? 

[Ararbermas]

For me he's just for attention. Whrein making positive thoughts but the fact that he actually here to advertise the coins because of being popular. Indeed he always make post in different accounts especially twitter wherein afterwards those are making changes because of him.. I dont know if his belong to the whales but seems the post from him is very informative and the coins he's always mentioned is literally makes an improvement afterwards. Maybe he's a whales also?

[vapourminer]

i think hes just having fun. and the doge phenomenon is fun to play with especially when you dont really care about money (to a point anyway).

sorta like hes testing doge like he tests rockets. beat it, test to destruction (or success) and learn what you can. then apply anything applicable to the real deal.. bitcoin.

of course being in the media for this doesnt hurt his companies either.

got my doge sells lined up on an exchange, should be fun tonight on SNL.

I think he is a hodler as well.
But I also think it is because the platform he is using to hold those doge doesn't allow him to make a simple withdrawal as they have had issues in the past with alot of their customers when they want to initiate a withdrawal the system goes down.
Or it simply is like paypal and their crypto wallets where you can buy the crypto but can not do anything with it.
This I do not know as I am not one of their customers.

[Lucius]

EM is a man who lives for profit and his companies that bring him profit - and if he has felt something in cryptocurrencies that can bring him even more profit, he clearly shows that he will make the most of such an opportunity. On the other hand, the media adores him because he has an army of blind followers who jump on his every word or tweet, and he himself does not hide how much he enjoys being in the spotlight - all this means that everyone makes money while the masses have fun - win-win situation for everyone.

For days I have been hearing from various sources that EM will announce something tonight that will, as always, affect the price of some coins - so I already have a feeling that one man is moving the market in the direction he wants - for some it may be fun, but such power in the hands of one man is not something I like too much.

[MIner1448]

I am sure that this outstanding person pursues purely the goal of increasing the profitability of his business, because all manipulations with bitcoin, thanks to his name and the TESLA brand, are aimed at increasing his income in his companies, he does it very beautifully, I never cease to be surprised and admire this person.

[masterrex]

I think Elon Musk can fit in both worlds because we know that Elon is popular in both topics, whether it is crypto or tech company, While Tesla and SpaceX are just a part of Elon Musk's Bigger real-world empire of technologically advance businesses because of that IMO, Elon can be fit anywhere because of his popularity. he is capable to hype anything and put the topic on the mainstream that was the power of popularity and money and Elon Musk has possessed both.

[Mpamaegbu]

DOGE is THE prototype of a useless coin or "anti-bitcoin".

Keep calling Dogecoin a useless coin while a lot of people are profiting from its sudden rise. I have had the opportunity of using Dogecoin a few times and I can say it's more convenient and fast to use than Bitcoin.

On the Elon posturing, I think any publicity is publicity whether good or bad. For the fact that the public values his tweets to make them hurry up and buy seemingly unprofitable tokens shows how powerful a figure Elon is. We shouldn't jettison that fact whether we think Elon is playing to the gallery or not. Let's enjoy this moment with Doge.

[Bitstar_coin]

I think for both, Elon is on crypto to both promote Tesla and hype on doge, I really do not know his deal with doge, what is his attraction to that coin,  he can't tell me because of the tech, so why doge is the coin of the people according to him?
Elon turned out to be the best thing that happen to dogecoin no doubt.

[capokmerah]

what we have to understand first is who is Elon Musk he is a businessman whose goal is to develop his business as advanced as possible and he wants to profit from every effort he puts in. remember, he will not do anything without expecting a reward he will not do work in vain. he's jumped into crypto with a few tweets and people laughing. he is a great person, whatever he does everyone must say it's cool, yes he is the one

[kryptqnick]

A year ago and earlier I thought of Elon Musk as some sort of a trickster of the crypto world. Sometimes he tweeted something positive and people vere excited, but I think he also said some negative stuff about cryptos back then. However, I believe that things have truly changed during the last Bitcoin ATH (so, about at the end of 2020), and he realized that Bitcoin is clearly something huge that can get even bigger, and that he should take it seriously. As for Doge, it's a joke to everyone, so I think it's okay that it's a joke to him as well. I have no idea what he's planning for SNL, but I think it'll be about joking around.

[capcaypro]

Though I'm starting to look at him as the next John Macafee, this is still a big promotion for Doge. The Doge millionaire guy actually believes that Dogecoin will be a household name after this Elon announcement on SNL. Nothing to lose for Elon, he is going to win a lot of money from this.

in theory, this is what some people hope, especially those who still hold doge as their asset.
because for now there are so many people who join in this doge without realizing it actually benefits a lot of people actually. starting from small traders who take advantage of the coming crazy pump that keeps happening until yes the most fortunate ones are the ones who make these pumps happen.
With the arrival of young artists like Miley, there will probably be more who participate in this doge I think

[Rkss4]

Elon musk a viral face in the cryptocurrencies market, his only one tweet captured the whole dogecoin market and pumped over 900% . Some experts predict that elon musk already tricked to pay attention with his tesla and space 🚀 X .

[icopress]

Yeah, I think McAfee was caught promoting alt coins and got nailed by the SEC when he got caught in the US.
So he was made an example for these characters not to use their celebrity status to FUD these alt coins so to pump their bags.

Ha, I even know who had a hand in that!

I'm pretty sure things are different with Musk, given the influence of his companies on politics US and on the mentality of ordinary citizens. Even if any accusation was brought against him, it would be just a formality (judging by the meager fines). In addition, I am also confident that the trial in this case ^{[if any]} will not take place until Elon is accused of speculating with WSB/GME (I would say that such a trial would be more logical than the situation with Dodge).

[7788bitcoin]

EM is a man who lives for profit and his companies that bring him profit - and if he has felt something in cryptocurrencies that can bring him even more profit, he clearly shows that he will make the most of such an opportunity. 

Not sure he lives for profit alone as i was following him and he sold all of his expensive properties and now living in a rented property and he did not create SpaceX initial to create profit, he created because he wanted to explore the impossibilities and his company was loosing billions for a long time until it turned profit after years of hard work and failures.

For days I have been hearing from various sources that EM will announce something tonight that will, as always, affect the price of some coins - so I already have a feeling that one man is moving the market in the direction he wants - for some it may be fun, but such power in the hands of one man is not something I like too much.

There is no doubt and the way in which he has the power to manipulate the market is simply mind boggling, i initially thought he was trolling the cryptocurrency market with his Dogecoin tweets but who would have thought that these would become serious manipulation of the market.

[fiulpro]

Or what if he is just trying to cope up with the new technology ? Or he is just trying to make some money with cryptocurrencies. For famous and rich people it is very easy to Manipulate the market which makes them earn big in small short term investments and at the same time if they loose a little it does not harm them. So I do think he is experimenting and since his company is already so software pro he just wants to be in tune with all the new innovations. There are actually people who would love to buy a Tesla with Bitcoins! He is just expanding his business which is all good. Until he tries to Manipulate the market like he did in the past with Bitcoins.

[Gamerholic]

In my opinion, one does not interfere with the other. Yes, Elon Musk supports bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, but just like any CEO and business owner, he thinks about his capital and about his investors and shareholders. I personally do not see any conflict of interest or anything like that here. Everything is logical and understandable. Well, when he manages to do both, it is only worth envying in a good way.

Anti-bitcoin in terms of anti-active development, anti-scarcity and anti-useful (and more), so kind of the opposite of Bitcoin in the cryptoverse 
It's just a joke, but twitter peeps took it too serious. Good for Doge, anyway. But honey badger doesn't care 

[Ridwan Fauzi]

Bitcoin is an investment place no more than that, I bet there will just a few people who will make bitcoin as mean of payment. Take a look how much money that have to spend for one transaction, who can do that? I guess no.

I mean, the announchment from Tesla just to attract a lot of people to buy bitcoin so as they will get a huge profit from the announchment. I'll do the same thing when I have popularity, at least this will take a FOMO and make a lot of profit.

[kobita333]

My opinion is Elon mask is just for crypto.
He made huge profit more than selling his company's electric car, even he was not a professional one.
Now he is showing interest on doge coin, and at once the price of it's increased. Crypto currency are decentralized but now we can say the price of currency are centralized by Elon mask.

Yeah, no worries as I thought I knew what you meant and it for just to put some humor into this as that is all musk is doing for his take on crypto as a whole actually, just creating something to laugh at. Ha Ha!

The only anti-bitcoin I can think of is BSV (Satoshi's vision) but that is just a farce and not worth mentioning on this thread since it's about Elon & his on stage performance if it actually manifests into anything tonight.
Only 6 more hours to go so to see what all the HYPE is about.
The price has tumbled from being $0.719 at it all time high and now is sitting at $0.649. Which isn't too bad still from being half of that earlier in the week before all the FOMOing started happening prior to the mass media grabbing hold and running with it.

That one who is tweeting in response to Silbert is apparently the creator of Dogecoin.

[RAMSHIVDEEPAK]

I think , he is good business. he is here for money. he will waiting for right time to dump their coin and exit from the market. I dont think he is for attention, he has already achieved  attention all over the world. 

[CryptopreneurBrainboss]

It's no secret that the mass media and social networks are capable of manipulating public opinion. Many people recklessly trust the opinion of the  reputable successful individuals and of the majority.

Quite a pity as not many know this smart guys they idolized are just using them to create more wealth for themselves. Elon promoting doge is just for his selfish reasons. He knows bitcoin can't be manipulated like with other altcoins. Today doge dropped approximately -45% with in minutes, and probably many investors would have been rekted by now.

Majority of individual of the general public wants quick money which is what lead then to invest in project that get hyped from this public figures without having any fundamentals or real utilities

With what Elon is doing, I don't think he has the best interest of the industry at heart knowing fully well that when the bubble does burst and the hype is over thousands of speculators will be hurt and this will definitely  paint the industry black as some pump and dump market which will drive away potential investors.

[so98nn]

Im not sure how many of you watched the today's show from SNL, but it looked like they were on to something. I mean just at the start of show he hugged his mother and wished her Happy Mothers day. When she asked are you going to give me DOGE as gift for the mothers day then he replied that Yes, May be! Whether it's a joke or not, but if it is serious thing, then todays dump is actually profit strategy for the Musk.

He will surely buy DOGE for his mother and considering his love and wealth, the amount is gonna be massive. If he does then market will see sharp upward trend. He will earn more profits with that.

It's a well played game by him. They won't leave the DOGE so easily. They will keep manipulating it for their own good and at the same time we should keep in mind that, be alert while he make moves and earn some profits out of it. 

[mrquackquack]

Well i don't want to be a bearer of bad news because i think that we need people like Elon Musk to bring innovation and new ideas to the table but none the less the whole Elon crypto hype maybe a way to pump the crypto market. I think his company invested around a billion or so in bitcoin and sold to a profit.

[accounting 181293]

i think hes just having fun. and the doge phenomenon is fun to play with especially when you dont really care about money (to a point anyway).

of course being in the media for this doesnt hurt his companies either.

got my doge sells lined up on an exchange, should be fun tonight on SNL.

yeah you're right he did all that for fun. So from the start he didn't care what happened, but if he succeeded he would carry on. it looks like doge and bitcoin, to elon it was all a joke, but everyone thought it was too much. If he's asked to choose, I'm sure he'd prefer his company over crypto.

[Peanutswar]

Because of the popularity of Elon musk, there are a lot of people who easily encourage by his word of wisdom not only with Elon there are a lot of celebrities who can easily gather up more people to make an investment. I think we consider Elon as a part of large investors and as you can see he adopt the use of the cryptocurrency just to gain more people related to it and now he accepts the use of the crypto especially the bitcoin for the payment of tesla if they want its a good another option for their consumers but still it's good to hold than getting the courage to buy tesla.

[NeverSop]

Elon Musk used his calculations and setup when he poured out twitter lines to make Doge go crazy in an abstract way when it was born.  In essence, even the first two CEOs, Doge, are also discouraged because Doge cannot become the core "financial asset" in the market.  a private wallet containing 28% of the total current supply.  Although, it cannot be proven yet, the community will take the consequences, and if it was a puppet on Elon's words then He would take advantage of it and do the opposite.  Doge is now a gamble.

Doge may be the only strategic card to end the slippage in Tesla shares.

[rdbase]

Not too sure how all of you portrayed his mention of crypto and what his entire view of the other markets were to him other than proclaiming himself as the dogefather.
Whatever that really means.

The thing at the news desk during weekend update skit was cringe worthy calling all and everything a hustle.
I can see everything involved in the alt-coin markets being like this but not the serious projects such as bitcoin.
So their way of swinging a paint brush for the entire crypto industry was shown in poor taste.
Well in my view anyways. But what do I know really.

[lionheart78]

Well i don't want to be a bearer of bad news because i think that we need people like Elon Musk to bring innovation and new ideas to the table but none the less the whole Elon crypto hype maybe a way to pump the crypto market. I think his company invested around a billion or so in bitcoin and sold to a profit.

Now I wonder what is the innovation and new Ideas Elon Musk had brought to cryptocurrency?  All I hear is just hype and hype to lure new investors to a specific cryptocurrency and nothing else.  I believe his stunt is not to promote the crypto industry but to boost the exposure of his own company and at the same time make profit created by his hype..

[Anonylz]

Elon did came into crypto at the time when btc was making headlines, many institutions have taken note of btc and already invested, Elon is a business man, he must have taken note of this and liked what he saw, besides, as a popular figure, announcing to the public Tesla invested 1.5 billion on btc was definitely a smart moves to draw more attention to him and his business, so I think the whole Elon involvement is mostly to draw attention.

[Chato1977]

No matter what His motive is , yet we cannot deny that Elon is really making the market shaking nowadays , His every tweets effects the movement each time.

So what ever He wanted is, the important thing for me is riding with him to make a profit time to time.

[rdbase]

Interesting on how while it aired the value continued to plummet.
So I don't think those who invested liked what they heard.
https://www.theverge.com/2021/5/9/22427006/dogecoin-crashing-elon-musk-snl-host

They were thinking he was going to promote it just by saying it but it backfired by making it as a side joke with his mother saying "Not dogecoin" and as a shady asset as the desk reporter.

Here is a youtuber who documented it during the broadcast of the live show while it happened with the price ticker watch.

And then the after math:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3Luv4BDyBY

What are your thoughts of what you saw and your opinion of what will happen to doge now.

[Igebotz]

Elon will let go of the doge at $1

Elon musk is not 100% into crypto, he is playing the crypto gambling game with his huge Twitter audience.

• Bought doge at the lowest price.
• Tweet about it and pump it to the moon
• People buy at the highest price
• He sells and dumps everyone in it
• Invest more on Tesla

there would be a massive dump once doge 🐕  hit $1 from Elon and his elites who owns about 50% of doge tokens
Elon is about to triple his fortunes, do not hodl dogecoin for long

[ivankoh]

Miley Cyrus wearing Doge, its funny but its also going to be a massive promotion to the youth.

Though I'm starting to look at him as the next John Macafee, this is still a big promotion for Doge. The Doge millionaire guy actually believes that Dogecoin will be a household name after this Elon announcement on SNL. Nothing to lose for Elon, he is going to win a lot of money from this.

Elon enforced his terrorist policies against Doge that originated from his SNL night. Surely, those who follow the hype have recognized the big lesson for themselves and I don't think they'll continue to be puppets on this "ridiculous" hype. I think Elon continued to generate attention from Tweet until Tesla's stock changed and turned to sparkle.

[SaShiRaJaVu]

Elon Musk is not actively investing when he was asked about the cryptocurrency market a few years ago and then he started an obsession to start tweeting about Dogecoin and that is where he started the cult that pumped Doge whenever he tweeted about the coin and he is much popular well before announcing about his company investing in Bitcoin as some of his tweets about his company made huge changes in the stock market in both the directions.

[LittleBitFunny]

Dogecoin is a perfect example of a manipulated market. The coin has skyrocketed under the influence of just a few tweets, which have no fundamental support. Investors and traders who have no basic knowledge are the only ones who have participated in this manipulated pump. This is totally social media influence and I don't believe such types of pumping signal. Maybe he is attention seeker or trying to show how to regulate/manipulate crypto market.

[virtualdn]

I wouldn't trust my finances too much when you have to deal with a narcissistic manipulator person. He admitted himself he is a narcissist (but a useful one lol whatever that means) so what else do you expect. Be cautious, don't be a blind sheep.

[Dilerium90]

The most interesting thing is that Dogecoin has no reason for growth, except for the manipulation from Elon Musk. Dodgecoin does not contain any technology. This is exclusively a game of roulette, where Elon Musk will win, and most people will lose their funds. I assure you.

Now he posted that a cargo will be sent to the Moon and the payment was made with Doge. Big deal. You could pay it with Litecoin as well. The manipulation schemes go on to pump the price.

I sold all my Dogecoins to BTC and I'm out of this bad movie, my time is too valuable to waste it on this joke.

I have heard several times about doge manipulation just because of this tweet from Elon Musk, of course this is a big influence not only on investors who don't know the basics but there are lots of whales inside who keep doing this, so even novice investors will go in there to buy. because the pumps are so high every day but aren't you tempted to see the doge at such a high pump? Or do you just see it?
Doge does not have basic support but many people like him to the point that it is $ 0.5 from the lowest price so all of that will focus on the doge especially influenced by Elon Musk's social media.

Already secured out my profit when it hits 0.7 since ive been shortening this coin and i dont tend to held it up for long term which is obviously that this one is really going with the hype.

For some people who do just trust up these current events or trend then its up to their choice but be sure on not to forget those risk management that you do have.

Dont let yourself get dragged with FOMO or else you would really be holding just like forever.We dont know on whats the true motive of ELon, thing here is that you do know
on when to get out.

[Hughes_Ryan]

Elon Musk is a cult figure for some of the smartest people on the planet. So what he's doing with the Dogecoin baffles me.
I mean, they say the Internet doesn't recognize any form of hierarchy, but I think Musk has delusions of god-like grandeur.

Elon is a public figure, he has millions of fans from all over the world. He has a knack for finance, which is the fun created by Doge. I admire him more than Miley Cyrus from "SNL". His powers saved the lives of countless unemployed people from Doge. Without delusion, he does many things to help others and for his own benefit.

[jahepahit]

its a win win situation for doge and tesla. but the main point is to get the crypto community into his company side and products. so he is using the crypto to boost his company. which i think it isint bad. in one way is part of adoption which is what everyone wants.

From Elon musk previous tweets he sees cryptocurrency as gambling and not as money for the future hence I don't think he would be in it for a long run, he is trying to accumulate as much as he can, make a profit and bow out.

Right, and also I don't think that we have to be cynical about the genuine interest of Elon towards crypto just to boost his companies name, remember that Tesla and Spacex is a name before Elon took an interest to cryptocurrency.

[bitterguy28]

Watching the lately spot about Musk appearing on live tv this weekend for showing what all the hype is about and if he will actually have a mention of his favorite cryptocurrency doge, it seems the media are jumping all over this appearance.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWWzszskgmA

What are your thoughts about this North American appearance and what do you think he will do or say about doge or even bitcoin?
I think since Miley Cyrus is the musical guest he will have her dress up as a dog and call her doge.
She likes cats and had dressed up as them on stage during her concerts, so you never know what these two crazy people will do on this episode.

It is for attention to boost tesla more than being really for crypto, That was His main business but of course He loves earning on both .

So Main objective is for popularization and then the income from crypto.

Which tweet that he say "cryptocurrency as gambling and not as money for the future"
I follow elon musk too. He did not say anything like that.
He just say

Cryptocurrency is promosing, but please invest with caution!

I think what you say could be true, but possibly wrong. because the character of the leadership of a large company is that if possible, turning the money into investment is something that must be done. so he could see compared to investments in foreign exchange and see bitcoin as more profitable, of course he could choose bitcoin.

he has also provided an opportunity for all who want to buy Tesla to use bitcoin, of course this is a clever thought to do, because he doesn't have to be difficult to find bitcoins from brokers who clearly need more funds. but by providing direct opportunities with payments using bitcoin there are benefits that must be paid when you have to buy.

so I am confident that he will hold on to it when indeed the price of bitcoin remains profitable. naturally when it is profitable it will be released and wait again when the price corrects to buy again.

[finaleshot2016]

To be honest, I'm not against him; in fact, I admire how, through his shilling system, he is supporting others in pumping this doge or bitcoin. Those who have remained trapped at ATH disagree, claiming that he is simply playing with the market which is their fault in the first place for not having good entries or positions. Everyone has an agenda; his initial goal was doge; people believed in and invested in doge in the hopes of profiting from the promotion he'd been doing for the past few months. Now that his plan has been revealed, this is it; SpaceX accepts Dogecoin as payment to launch ‘DOGE-1 mission to the Moon’ next year

IMO, He's not doing it for Tesla or SpaceX because those businesses have already accomplished great things without cryptocurrency. Elon Musk is doing this to aid cryptocurrency's massive adoption around the world by initiating this type of operation.

[acener]

For me Elon is just the same as McAfee and probably would end up like him in crypto space.
Now I see some meme post about people lose something because of following him.
If doge wouldn't recover then I guess Musk would really lose it and would really become like McAfee on crypto.
People would start to lose interest and trust on him then after that every tweet/post or comment that he would say would also be a big thing in here.

Having seen this announcement one day after the show and the price tanked by 25% back down to $0.42 from when it was $0.69 prior to the "It's a hustle!" debacle, this news actually drove it up on hope for this coin back up to $0.60.
Then you have this news about spacex sending it to the moon.

Also today there was a twitter post by yours truly asking if his company should start accepting doge for a car.
That made it jump nearer to it's all-time high once more.
I find it all meme worthy and just sit back, relax and enjoy the movie to see how it ends!

I have been thinking the same thoughts since early this year , When the man tries to control the market movement by continuously making tweets to shaken the market and sad to say , people tend to believe or react in everything he says.
Look at the market every time he tweets.

I'm sure Elon really believes in crypto. I wonder what wallet he uses? Trust, ownr, atomic? Unlikely.

Wrong , Elon Believes in Money and profiteering and not just In bitcoin meaning he will do and catch everything that will give Him earnings.

Nope they are not the same Mcafee hype so many shitcoins and many people lost a lot of money from his doings compare to elon where he really pump up the Doge coins and make those holders earn a lot of money from holding it for long time. Although many lose due to buying it from FOMO but I can still say that they are far from each other if we really compare them. Although I will agree with you if you think his main intention is to earn from it, we shouldn't get surprise about it since Elon is businessman and he will do whatever it takes just to gain a profit on all of his investment.

[rosebrand]

Well I don't really know his plans, if he believes in crypto he wouldn't compare a coin with no use case like doge to bitcoin which is really strange, well i think he did the shilling so as to benefit from it, maybe he might have invested in it when it was low, then hype the token it pumped then he made profits, he is a business man and his interest will always be at making profit,  or maybe he has a deal with the owner of doge. I think I saw a recent post on Twitter stating SpaceX accepting doge as means of Payment, all this is just to pump the price of doge.

[slaman29]

From Elon musk previous tweets he sees cryptocurrency as gambling and not as money for the future hence I don't think he would be in it for a long run, he is trying to accumulate as much as he can, make a profit and bow out.

And even if you ignore his Tweets, you can't ignore that he appeared on SNL, which is known to be a stage for pure comedy, making fun of dogecoin.

I mean, the guy asks him, is it just a hustle, and he laughs and says yes, it's a hustle. And he laughs again.

So what does this tell you? He knows what it is. Just hope others know what it is too.

[rdbase]

Well he is trying to make it a use case coin with this tweet he put out about 6 hours ago:

https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1392030108274159619

It is just a poll and nothing is done without the board of directors a-ok on the matter.
But he is peaking interest in the doge. That is for certain.

[hatshepsut93]

How would supporting crypto boost his companies? When he announced that Tesla bought Bitcoin, his shares fell 5%, because investors didn't like such risky move. And it's not like paying with Bitcoin or Dogecoin for his products is going to get him more sales, people who would use crypto would otherwise use fiat if they couldn't, so crypto is not netting him new customers.

Elon is into crypto mostly for the memes and because he realizes how bad the inflation is becoming.

[willoweb]

His companies were growing and falling in value long before all this new hype with cryptocurrency, which is so interesting for everyone again because of its rise in price. Its role in the popularization of cryptocurrency is difficult to overestimate and cannot be underestimated. It's one thing how you personally feel about him and his companies, their products and so on. Another thing is that this guy was one of the first large billionaires to publicly support and bought bitcoin himself. It was very timely and important for the market, so please, fans of criticism. Better to do something of comparable benefit yourself first.

[boyptc]

I think I saw a recent post on Twitter stating SpaceX accepting doge as means of Payment, all this is just to pump the price of doge.

Well, the other case is that his Tesla company has bought bitcoin amounting $1.5B. Whilst for Dogecoin, he doesn't give any statement how much they own and how much they've acquired through it.

The exposure he is giving to Dogecoin is probably really for his companies but at the same time, he probably is going to dump all of his Dogecoins since he's aware of what really is.

I have the same vibes coming from what he is like and what he has done in the past when it comes to his company and share holders.
He'll ride the wave until the tide comes in as they say.
He isnt a genius for nothing so obviously has something instore for doge coin as it was mentioned several times form him, whether it be a joke or to be taken seriously, it will be the currency used for his spacex journeys and most possibly on mars.
Unless he is just testing out the crypto waters and just going to create his own coin to use there similar to doge but with his face on it.
Here is a good video to watch about how they view it as well:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grGauqJyiSA

[peter0425]

I don't care of what is His intention here , What made me happy is that how he pumped Dogecoin and i already make money on this 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kidding aside, Elon surely is a Crypto lover because he had risked His name and company inside so what ever his intention may? surely this is for crypto betterment .

[rdbase]

Well since appearance over the weekend things seemed to have turned for the worst. From being just a promo for dogecoin to tanking all of the markets by 11.5% since this happened last night:

https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1392602041025843203?s=21
Tsssssss

But now we see the real reason behind their hidden agenda:

[Kayum10029]

Due to the energy consumption power losses, Elon musk tweet about his company tesla car with bitcoin transactions suspended. After published his tweet about bitcoin whole cryptocurrencies market already downed badly.

[rdbase]

No wonder he dressed up as Wario..
I thought it was a bit weird at first but it seems like he was just mocking us at revealing who he truly is and that being:
The real villan of BTC!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXVGLS4g8_w

[pinggoki]

In my very own opinion, based on what I am read on the internet and what I am noticing since Elon Musk and Tesla adopt cryptocurrency as their partners in their company many happen. Just for example when Elon Musk hype the meme coin which is the dogecoin, it hypes very well, and to the extent that the doge surges up and another thing is the bitcoin. When Tesla which is own by the famous and manipulator Elon Musk the market and the bitcoin extent to its limit also. Elon Musk is using crypto of course to boost Tesla and Space X but the crypto is also using him to manipulate the market.

Elon musk is a smart guy, he pretty much knows where to find the money he needs to get his babies into space... is lying in crypto, fiat might have it but there is so much paper work to do. And his answer still doubles back to crypto.

At this moment his still a crypto ambassador but I see him trying to get his numbers favour his business and doge....in this short time it wouldn't surprise me to see Tesla go green on the market.

[rdbase]

I am pretty certain this all was just an attempt to thwart the main goal of cryptocurrency so to gain more customers for his companies.
In several ways:
1. Appear on a national syndicate television show and say something to garner an audience world-wide and have a play on words so to leave speculation for what everybody was expecting to happen but it didn't.
2. Once he had everyone's focus say something else which will leave a bad taste in those investors mouth.
3. Tweet out that using a certain cryptocurrency is bad for the environment but I am here to fix that with said other crytpocurrency he garnered speculation on.
4. Present his solution that the company in which he owns will be providing clean energy to those who are using the cryptocurrency which is bad for the environment.
5. Gather more attention to said company and tells of the first cryptocurrency will be paying for his second company's journey into space.

Seems like he had it all thought out and is just setting his plan in motion.
One step at a time.

[Mugtaiya]

Who knew yahoo finance had a show about crypto called none other than the crypto corner.
As much as I hate yahoo and surprised their still around, they do provide some valid points to what the ceo of tesla was doing buying all those bitcoins then doing a complete 180 to drive down its price.
Just nonsensical.

Also for everybody who is concerned about it, Bitcoin will be just fine with Elon from what the ceo celsius network had to say about it.

This was the tweet from Mr.Whale which sparked the dump of bitcoin when Elon responded with a single word:
"Indeed."

With several crypto youtubers posting immediately right after, this is the one I watched through it all to see what actually caused the 12% dump of the btc price since then.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSrpMwnC3vk
The above is to a livestream of bitboy crypto for those who do not like his point of view just a fair warning is all.

[xSkylarx]

This guy is not good in the crypto community imo. He manipulates the crypto market to earn more money for his SpaceX project. He distracts the public by shilling doge and saying bad things about bitcoin to buy at a lower price. If bitcoin moves up, he can decide to sell his holdings to fund his SpaceX project then manipulate the market again to cause a panic again. If one or two of those top 10 holders of doge will sell their holdings that can cause dogecoin to go less than $0.1 then I think his dogecoin believers will stop following him and his madness will stop.

i also think this is just a start the way he tries to attack bitcoin might also backfire
when the community-driven coin retaliate he will never know when he will become one of the crypto clowns
the attack he is doing to the bitcoin community is not only financially but also mentally
he wants to save electricity when the bitcoin community give it to him who knows what will happen

[Vaskiy]

He isn't for bitcoin, he isn't for Tesla. Wherever there is an opportunity to make money out of it, he'll have his part. This is how he has come into the cryptospace, and using his popularity and company needs he multiplied his investment in a very short time period. Even after that he's is getting indepth into the cryptospace just because he realised it is the future. As each and everything gets connected in a business he has got into it.

Agree

[rdbase]

There were alot of tweets from him over this past weekend.
At one point he was asking why bitcoin wasn't faster and why not centralize the mining for it - in a sense.
Someone told him, what does he think BCash/BSV was all about?

The thing is he is commenting on crypto and bitcoin without any experience or research into it and to me that is dangerous to do since there alot of people (I call them musketeers) who hang on his every word, as yesterday's one worded tweet shown this to be true, and can cause irreparable damage to any cryptocurrency he is concentrating on.
In this instance it was bitcoin, but could of been done to any coin he chooses.
And this to me can be very dangerous in the current market we all are in.

Elon Musk is a cult figure for some of the smartest people on the planet. So what he's doing with the Dogecoin baffles me.
I mean, they say the Internet doesn't recognize any form of hierarchy, but I think Musk has delusions of god-like grandeur.

Elon Musk is an excellent manager. He was always among the first to promote ideas and technologies and achieved success, having thought out all the logistics of the process in advance. That is why  Musk's opinion is trust, even it was joking. His one tweet raised the price of Doge, . It's no secret that the mass media and social networks are capable of manipulating public opinion. Many people recklessly trust the opinion of the  reputable successful individuals  and of the majority.

If Elon Musk is a great manager, why are his statements so contradictory about Bitcoin? At first, with his mentions of Bitcoin, he made him a good advertisement, and he himself saw it and understood their influence on the masses and on the cryptocurrency market. He also had to understand how negatively his latest negative comment about Bitcoin would affect this market. As a manager, he must also understand that he will lose some of his income from owning bitcoins if he says so. Moreover, he actually said a lie, since Bitcoin is mined on electricity, which is produced not only from the combustion of hydrocarbons such as coal and fuel oil, but also from clean renewable energy sources. That is, any energy is consumed that is generated from any sources that are in a certain area. I do not see foresight in these actions and statements by Elon Musk.

I guest elon musk hasn't sold the majority of his dogecoin yet

No, he hasn't because he commented to Peter McCormick on it earlier yesterday nor his companies holdings of btc.
https://twitter.com/PeterMcCormack/status/1394661413055078400
But who can really believe a word he says because if you don't already know he is a compulsive liar and had used this to manipulate his way into Tesla.
There is a rather good two part video I found earlier today about his entire dealings on how he managed to acquire all his companies to this day.

Because he is a massive troll. That is all there is to it.
He plays these games because in his mind he thinks its cute or people will see it as humorous but in reality it is not.
I believe he intentionally puts up a barrier to see things from another person's point of view of what he deems as the right way to do things but are far from it.
Remember when there were that thailand kid soccer team trapped in a cave? He ended up getting sued by one of the rescue divers who he called a pedophile. All because he said he didn't want elon's help in the matter and they will get those kids out themselves.

[nightxglow]

Due to the energy consumption power losses, Elon musk tweet about his company tesla car with bitcoin transactions suspended. After published his tweet about bitcoin whole cryptocurrencies market already downed badly.

See how big the impact he made with his act and words. So no wonder that his words can really affect other prices, like doge for example. I mean, doge is hyping up mostly thanks to him, people with no knowledge will believe him and follow what he did, buying doge, selling bitcoin, or others. He's an influenxer for sure. I guess he's not really doing it for the sake of crypto, but for his own interest and profit. He'll just do what he thinks will benefit him i guess.

[oHnK]

There were alot of tweets from him over this past weekend.
At one point he was asking why bitcoin wasn't faster and why not centralize the mining for it - in a sense.
Someone told him, what does he think BCash/BSV was all about?

The thing is he is commenting on crypto and bitcoin without any experience or research into it and to me that is dangerous to do since there alot of people (I call them musketeers) who hang on his every word, as yesterday's one worded tweet shown this to be true, and can cause irreparable damage to any cryptocurrency he is concentrating on.
In this instance it was bitcoin, but could of been done to any coin he chooses.
And this to me can be very dangerous in the current market we all are in.

I don't think that EM has never done any previous research on crypto because he is such a smart person that even in taking short profits for just 2 months he has already made a profit of 128 M USD on selling 10% of his BTC.  But what I really regret about all of his words, why are there so many coins on the market, only DOGE is fully supported by him?  This is just a meme coin on all coins with good fundamentals, why not another coin.  Very disappointing, he seemed to be gambling with a large capital.

Why he choose dogecoin because if he can get let say 30% until 50% total supply within 2019 till 2020 and promote them at the end of the year.
How much he can earn now?

By mastering a certain proportion of Dogecoin it will be very easy to increase and decrease the price in the market until it gets its biggest profit.  Look at the results of his deeds, the market is out of control while he has already earned hundreds of millions of USD in profits.  It is very, very extraordinary, great at doing mass fooling.

[rdbase]

It is hard to say if he is just acting the fool or trying to make others look the fool at this point.
He tried to do what he did to tesla and it's stock but for cryptocurrencies back in February when he questioned if the stock was too high, then of course those who held tsla panic sold.

Well there were alot of messages like this one sent to his twitter feed from unhappy people of what he is doing:

It could be just people trolling the troll on his twitter but there isn't a doubt in my mind people did lose alot because he can not just shut it about cryptocurrency and feels there is a need to talk about it every now and again just to laugh at others cause he sees it all as just a joke to him.

[virtualdn]

The guy is a clown. He can have all the money in the world but he is behaving like a 2 year old kid, he's disgusting. Why people worship such an idiot I have no idea and will never will. Some people never stop to amaze me.

[online73]

I believe that the role of Elon Musk in the cryptocurrency world is greatly exaggerated and the attention to his statements is overblown. Rather, he decided to play around and draw more attention to himself and to Tesla. Yes, he is a cult personality of cosmic proportions, and it would be better if he was busy with his rockets than to climb with his dubious opinion into the cryptocurrency market, because the market will put everything in its place anyway.

i hate Ellon musk and i don't think he just wants money, he doesn't care about crypto, his main goal is to make profit out of it, and speaking of people saying that Ellon was the reason they lost, and some shit about being homeless, i think they should be adults about it, nobody forced them to invest in doge, and nobody guaranteed for them profits from crypto, it's their own choices and they should take responsibility for their actions.

We do have only 2 types of people when it comes to this on where there are people whom do see him as a 2 year old kid and to those people whom do see him as a God or Idol when it comes to this market.
When some billionaires tend out to jump into this market then that automatically counts as a business.They arent here just for nothing, he might shown some passion or support to crypto but
anytime could really make a u-turn if he wanted too and viola it did happen and now majority of the community does changed up their views to this guy.
This is just an another clown that had existed on this market.

[rdbase]

There was a podcast by a well known celebrity in the technology space who put in their take on why tesla flipped on bitcoin when they said they would be accepting it and then all the sudden announced they would not after having bought millions worth of the cryptocurrency spurring the bull run.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsRQE0O2_XY
They both have a good sense of what tesla was trying to do but failed miserably at their attempt because all they were looking for was publicity but they received the bad kind and it showed in their stock plummeting after the trace back on what they had said. Most think it was because of what Elon said about cryptocurrency mining being bad for the environment and with his company looking to receive these carbon credits from the US government to companies being green and supporting technologies toward their target of emitting carbon zero emissions by the year 2030.

Everyone wants to make money and so does Elon Musk. Name any individual in the world who is here not for the money ? However i don't like people who manipulates the market to move it in their direction.
Don't blame Elon musk, if you bought dogecoin and are in loss. It was your own decision. Show me any tweet where he said to "Buy dogecoin"

[rdbase]

^^
He didn't straight out say buy doge coin but he is supporting it by accepting it for a space x launch and also stated working with the devs dogecoin.
So he is heavily endorsed towards making it overthrow other coins including bitcoin in the future.

Here is an interesting post on reddit I was reading in the past couple of days about what another skeptic thinks about what is progressing with him being involved in the cryptocurrency space whether it is right or wrong for those who support bitcoin.

Why Elon trashing Bitcoin is great news
I will just sum up the facts:
Tesla has problems with Chinese Gov (where most bitcoin miners are located).
-Tesla shares have been falling for months.
-Coinbase was the most downloaded app in the AppStore a couple of weeks ago.
-Drukenmiller questioned the central banks actions, said the US dollar was going to lose the status reserve in less than 15 years and crypto was the answer for such irresponsible policies.
-Investment banks are going to begin commercialize the crypto investment products to their clients but these products won't be available until Q3-Q4 2021.
So now, why would Elon Musk changed his tune about bitcoin? Well I bet there could be several reasons:
US Gov using him to scare the shit out of new unexperienced investors given that FUD tactics haven't worked until now because they want to prevent crypto adoption as a means of payment as they would lose control of money.
Corporate investors and investment banking using him to sink the price so that they can buy low and the sell high once they have their products ready, in exchange tesla gets included in all kind of investment funds.
Musk pumping un dumping for the fun and making tons of money of his delusional fans.
Honestly I don't care which of these reasons could be true, I am just speculating about potential reasons that could lead Elon Musk to do this, because one thing is clear, he has some kind of incentive to trash bitcoin and shake out retail investors.
He knew very well how mining works, he event answered to a tweet from Jack Dorsey that bitcoin incentivized renewable energies, only to change his tune 3 weeks later. Of course, his space X rockets, his litium mines in Africa and his gigafactory in Texas and China where most energy comes from fossil fuels don't pollute.
So please use your head and not your emotions when deciding if you buy, sell or hold. For me, it is clear what to do.

So looks like the founder of ethereum is starting to get all riled up with Elon Musk stating that even doge coin is more scalable than his coin alongside with bitcoin.
https://cointelegraph.com/news/vitalik-why-elon-musk-s-plan-for-scaling-crypto-10x-is-fundamentally-flawed
He was upset at what Vitalik said about him to cointelegraph cause he replied to their article with the following post:

[bryant.coleman]

Checked some of the mainstream media sites. Now everyone is praising Elon for the recent recovery. They are claiming that Elon softened his stance on Bitcoin, and that helped the coin to recover. Those who are having a basic understanding of cryptocurrency would be able to tell that this is just BS. Elon Musk is overrated and a lot of things that are credited to him have nothing to do with him. From what I have heard, the recent recovery has more to do with the clarification of government action from China, rather than any statement from Elon.

[rdbase]

As I had mentioned in another post earlier for this thread, I'd include a video in which I discovered just recently about how this ceo operates his company and the methods he had used in the past to acquire each and every one of them.
So here it is where I watched the second part first then ended up looking for the first part to see where the condemnation for this guy came from. And after watching them both I can see where it all stemmed up from and I think you will too.

Elon Musk - Why I hate bitcoin?

[AicecreaME]

I think he's doing it for both cryptocurrency and Tesla. First they happily boasted that they are in cryptocurrency as well as microstrategy, second they accepted Bitcoin as a payment, third is they adopted Dogecoin as well that hype the coin, fourth they take back what they've said about Bitcoin as a payment method on buying their cars that in my opinion cause a sudden price dump and they took the opportunity to buy the dip secretly, that's only my theory about it.

Elon is a smart guy, and there's no way he'd neglect totally the opportunity of making more money on buying the dip and for sure he'll hype it up again foe easy profits.

[danherbias07]

He did lose a lot of followers for being too smart. 
If he is really that smart enough, he would make a better reason than just talking about Bitcoin as an environment disaster. I doubt he didn't know that before he bought it. Just like you said, he is a smart guy right?
I don't think he really give a fuck about cryptocurrencies, yes it's all just money and profits for him. Suddenly, he made cryptocurrencies as a new target for his manipulation. I'd be careful on what name he will suggest next time. The scary thing he might do is pull investors in a new cryptocurrency then leave it saying his sorry he made a mistake.

I have no disagreement on what you just said and actually got me thinking about the last part of your reply.
I remember someone during all these youtube videos released from countless sources during the past few weeks after him calling Saylor a GigaChad.
Elon Musk is just gathering as much information as he can so he can create his own cryptocurrency.
What are your thoughts about this revelation of all the nonsense he has been causing on twitter and with his massive number of followers who will certainly buy into his coin offering.

Doesn't sounds good if he create his own cryptocurrency since his coin will became a pump and dump scheme which he is the only one who can get a sure profit from this activities remember what he do on tesla stocks and this might provably happen if he want to create his own coin to.

[romero121]

^^
Yet so many others with such celebrity status and a huge amount of followers are doing the exact same thing if not in a different way.
There was some evidence of this with the this being released to the public via another social media platform:

This is a common practice. Each and every popular face try to make money out of their popularity. Elon Musk made it openly, whereas others play indirect games. Now what I see with Elon Musk, he'll use the cryptocurrency market to make money and popularize his Tesla and SpaceX. Once he finds Tesla and SpaceX to make a big growth he'll just leave the market causing big dump.

He received an email to promote a coin but he copy & pasted it exactly along with the part of how much he would get paid to send it to all his followers on twitter.
See how skewed the crypto market can be with people who accept these spammers who email all these celebrities to promote their coin?

Just look at this guy who was a mailman a year ago then all the sudden became Crypto Messiah known on his twitter/telegram feed who made over $60 million on Shiba Inu from just a single tweet from Musk about buying a Shiba dog.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWdw5X504Dg

Hadn't even known this coin existed for so long as I thought it was one of those which just all the sudden popped up from the dogecoin craze earlier in January from Elon tweets.

Interesting interview to say the least about that hodling mentality for any coins you may have even for bitcoin.

[TopTort777]

I think that Musk uses crypto only to promote his Tesla and SpaceX. Or he is like most of us - not care much about technology and processes, but use crypto just to earn. There is a small chance that he will use crypto or blockchain in his Neurolink, but this company is a deep forest for me. Everything is still under development and it is to early to predict when first "brain interfaces" will be released.

[DigitalFox]

Did anyone mention his late agenda regarding "green" mining etc in the US? Given that this guy is one of the largest manufacturers in solar power equipment I find it hard to believe he won't try to push his "green" stuff to miners, while lobbying legislation supporting it.

Elon Musk is deep in the globalist pocket after taking that 2 million USD of free money from the fed, whatever they say he does without question. And globalists sure don't like free, sovereign money. I think this was a publicity stunt to begin with in order to ultimately weaken crypto/bitcoin.

After all, he is a businessman and one of the richest individuals in the planet. Don't expect these people to do something just because they believe that it will benefit the humanity. There will be a selfish motive behind each of his moves. Now I can't confirm Elon's connection to solar panel manufacturing, because this is the first time that I am hearing about it. But I won't be surprised if it's turns out to be true. Elon Musk is one of the main beneficiaries of this climate change debate. If the concern about climate change is not there, then no one would actually purchase his overpriced EVs.

[angrynerd88]

Elon is distinctive from other trade pioneers he took activity to know almost the cryptoworld and he is sweet as compare to others when they conversation approximately crypto in a bunch.Whrein making positive contemplations but the truth that he really here to publicize the coins since of being well known. Indeed he continuously make post completely different accounts particularly twitter wherein a short time later those are making changes since of him.It can be say that he is member of a whale who manipulate the market if he own crypto for liittle portion of their all companies he will lead in the crypto market.

[Crypto Fireside]

IMO Musk is a distraction.
I cant exactly say why.
I just think he is.
They'll tell you about Musk and China all day long (not that I am a fan of Chinese meddling in Crypto) but they'll never talk about the big boys and their plays and what they're currently doing to the US dollar, the Euro etc.

Probably Elon right now is a disaster for all crypto enthusiasts unless he did not tweet about bitcoin and Tesla still accepting bitcoin payments right now.

I honestly think Elon is a smart guy but because of his own greed for money, he just created actions that are beyond our control. And that made him a big disaster in the crypto community.

[kawetsriyanto]

Probably Elon right now is a disaster for all crypto enthusiasts unless he did not tweet about bitcoin and Tesla still accepting bitcoin payments right now.

For many people, he is a real disaster. People blame him for the current big dump in Bitcoin price. Whether the dump is mainly caused by him or not, but inf fact after he tweeted about "Tesla no longer accept BTC payment", the Bitcoin price constantly declined. Well, he is a smart guy and an experienced businessman, I am sure he has planned this since the beginning. His purpose seems just to get attention from people around the world by doing this.

It is true that we received a boost when Tesla announced that they will accept BTC. At that time, the exchange rate was around $40,000 per coin (the increase from $8,000 to $40,000 was mostly due to PayPal). When Tesla reversed it's stance, the prices went back to the previous levels. No real damage was done, as the dip was only temporary. The prices are slightly below $40K now, but I expect it to cross that level within the next few days. Tesla was always like a double edged sword. Their exit will not do much harm to BTC in the long run.

[yohananaomi]

I think Elon, he is not interested in crypto, he is just taking advantage, joking to make profits for himself. He is a billionaire and he knows his influence on Tesla lovers, space x.. and he makes cryptocurrency a target to control to bring him profit. I'm sure he will continue to makes the crypto community with his silly tweets.

@elonmusk like this have a specific purpose with the Tesla company and it's true you said he will not be very interested in crypto but he wants his company to get good benefits from the way it is done with the aim of being able to make any profit, whether it's from policies and others. but all are lulled by what was said and very sad to believe even though this will worsen the continuation of crypto from people like this, should not be given the opportunity to do that again.

Making issues that has been not really an issue at all.

Probably Elon right now is a disaster for all crypto enthusiasts unless he did not tweet about bitcoin and Tesla still accepting bitcoin payments right now.

I honestly think Elon is a smart guy but because of his own greed for money, he just created actions that are beyond our control. And that made him a big disaster in the crypto community.

He is as is as what you think and there's no doubt that he's really that smart guy.

But the actions that he did and words that he said about bitcoin, that's when we've reacted and can no longer tolerate his actions.

[Dhoe]

everyone knows Elon Musk has power, has wealth, he is a millionaire, one tweet can shake other people, he wants to make a profit, by taking advantage of every opportunity, he has many sheep who always follow him but we really don't want to be sheep Elon Musk, we remain in our position, whatever Elon Musk's post we don't want to care anymore

[sapnu]

It is clearly just for hype knowing Elon Musk and seeing the things he has done for a while with regards to crypto specially bitcoin. He has the influence and the power obviously but if you would see his credibiliy when it comes to crypto, he is not that credible because he's just been here for a while. It may have gave off a good outcome for bitcoin before but now that it has completely abandoned it, those good outcomes became detrimental for bitcoin. Elon is a pain in crypto and that could be the reason why his tweets doesn't matter anymore for many people.

[Trieteric]

Musk is for its company, about crypto, btc and other coins, he just playing with us! Why? Because he is bored, he's looking for trouble at a big scale which unfortunately is US!

[SoeNan89]

Elon Musk can be a warrior for those who are late to buy bitcoins.  And he also includes the disease of tea coins for people who are bitcoin holders.

 Elon Musk has an extraordinary mind in dropping the coin price.

[Kong Hey Pakboy]

I think that it's more than just his companies, yes you will put priority on your companies first but I think he is for the innovation and he sees cryptocurrencies as an innovation in finance. I might be wrong about it.

[TribalBob]

the hype created by Elon Musk, there is nothing for now he just did the fundamental analysis but didn't think twice before making the decision
Elon rich people in the world maybe or I don't know, looking at the way He talks on social media lately it can be seen His intention, is to try to make people believe in him again, and He seems to be checking his popularity and attractiveness from people around the crypto community and now with his Posts

[kinvan f]

EM is a man who lives for profit and his companies that bring him profit - and if he has felt something in cryptocurrencies that can bring him even more profit, he clearly shows that he will make the most of such an opportunity. On the other hand, the media adores him because he has an army of blind followers who jump on his every word or tweet, and he himself does not hide how much he enjoys being in the spotlight - all this means that everyone makes money while the masses have fun - win-win situation for everyone.

For days I have been hearing from various sources that EM will announce something tonight that will, as always, affect the price of some coins - so I already have a feeling that one man is moving the market in the direction he wants - for some it may be fun, but such power in the hands of one man is not something I like too much.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All actions are for profit. It's just a means for him to make money.

Elon wants to meet with Dorsey to discuss about bitcoin.
So maybe now he can knock some sense into this misinformed tesla corporation owner who ruined everything bitcoin related in the recent months to drop it 50% since his tweets.

[rdbase]

Did this tweet alone spur the 4% pump up in the bitcoin price when it was released?

He is definitely looking to do something in retaliation to the government stating they wish to tax the rich.
So he is looking for a outlet so to avoid doing so in curtailing the sell-off of his own companies stocks and putting it into bitcoin.

I hate to admit the fact that Elon really makes this market a place circling his funds and assets , though I hate to believe that there is a chance that this tweet again makes the increase of Bitcoin price yet most of the currency he will going to mentioned makes always an increase(depend on what kind of statements either negative or positive) but the reality speaks that Elon is one big part of cryptocurrency , His popularity always affects the movement of this market.
anyway thanks for the heads up as i was still searching for the possible reason why we have made another ATH now and here you go bringing it here.

[rdbase]

@rodskee It's not really a tweet by him but you know what I am getting at with showing this.
That is what is intending to do if they do pass a bill to tax the heck out of the richest in the US.
He rather sell his stocks in Tesla and transfer it into bitcoin so to not need to pay the $50 billion (reported estimates if this law came into fruition) out of his own pocket for holding that asset in back taxes.

[boyptc]

Did this tweet alone spur the 4% pump up in the bitcoin price when it was released?

Likely.

IMHO, it's the fans alone that had made the market reached new ATH and if it goes stable there. We probably haven't seen him yet doing what he's said.

I just like what we're seeing.

[rdbase]

There was a poll he did on his twitter asking if he should sell 10% of his Tesla stock.
Price of TSLA immediately dropped.

As a person who always seeks public attention, Elon Musk really needs to do something like that because it can boost the popularity of his products. I think it's okay because it doesn't hurt anyone, it's actually good for cryptocurrency users as the popularity of cryptocurrencies is growing. With this news, the price of Bitcoin gradually rose due to external factors like Elon Musk did. I hope people or public figures like Elon Musk promote cryptocurrency by seeking public attention.

[rdbase]

But Elon does tend to seem like scum from time to time.
Just look at this article that Tim Cook of Apple stated that Musk tried to sell Tesla to Apple at one point in time.
https://9to5mac.com/2021/11/09/tim-cook-doesnt-recall-elon-musk-reaching-out
For a CEO saying he is all for his company and worked on the assembly line while sleeping at the office just to make deadlines this does make him look untrustworthy.

I can't believe he hasn't harmed anyone so far in your opinion. Take a look at what he did with Doge and Bitcoin a while back, are you sure no investors were harmed by his behavior?

I might agree with his presence in the crypto space, the interest of other institutional investors is growing. Obviously this was to be expected, but Elon Musk's behavior often send market bouncing where there are some people who are harmed.

Cant really be denied that this man could really move out markets even how hard we do tell about ignoring him.It cant really be just stopped that there wnt really be some reaction no matter what market he's been dealing into.Once he do make out some tweets then there would really be a specific reaction into it. People getting harmed or affected? Yes there are but he shouldnt really be blamed yet you havent forced to invest on that particular time.
Yeah, its quiet deceptive but you do have your own will to make out decisions.

[worldofcoins]

Elon Musk is a cult figure for some of the smartest people on the planet. So what he's doing with the Dogecoin baffles me.
I mean, they say the Internet doesn't recognize any form of hierarchy, but I think Musk has delusions of god-like grandeur.

Most likely he's doing dogecoin-related stuff for his own amusement, He could easily make billions through his other businesses which he already has recently.
In any case Elon will continue to meme around Dogecoin for his own amusement and by showing public that how easy it is for him to play with the perception of many.

[shield132]

At first, I think he was there to support crypto. Back then, his tweets were really powerful and could change the shape of the market. But recently, I beginning to see that it was all for personal attention just to promote his own personal brands. Now, his tweets rarely move anything these days. However, that man could be very very influencial.

He is businessman, it's deep in his bones to gain wealth and fame. There were a lot of people who were the supporters of Musk because of his interviews, because of his super hard works (once he mentioned that his brain was hurting very much because of sleepless nights) but this man just proved that he is selfish and a person, who doesn't care about anyone and looks at others like his own pets.

Idk why people don't analyze his behaviors and still adore him. This man used the society to pump dogecoin, bitcoin, then just post one tweet to make you panic sell it and then bought it at dip. I don't really know what to say about this.

Same here, I hate the fact that with his bright mind he knows how to give a positive or negative impact on bitcoin's market, knows how to manipulate just with his simple tweet or statement just because he is a famous business man. But at the sametime, it made me realize to watch him closely about his statements about cryto-related stuffs so that I will know what move will I make to avoid losses and gain profits. Let's just accept the fact that he's making it to profit himself more and there's nothing we can do about it.
That tweet he did made the price upwards until now, so maybe we'll hit another ATH before this year ends.

[blatchcorn]

USA govt is not that innocent that they will let MUSK run away with 20 billion USD unnoticed. He will definitely buy BTC from some centralized exchange where he can be traced and taxed. So I dont think this can ba reason.

But the credit goes to crypto community for making him so popular in the crypto currency in such a short span of time after Craig White. We pay unnecessary attention on such people tweets and claims that serves their purpose.

Elon Musk is a smart person, maybe he deliberately sold his shares in Tesla to make the price go down and then buy again ^{(no one knows when he will do this)}.  since he said Bitcoin is bad for the environment a few months ago, i stop believe he really supports bitcoin, he's just trying to get attention and profit with the influence he already has.

Not possible. They were shares in his company so you can not do that. There is a law in the US put in place so that majority shareholders like the CEO of companies are not capable of doing this. That is manipulating the market and they can be sentenced for breaking trader laws and then sent to jail.
Remember Martha Stewart?
She hired someone to do this for her and then she got caught with insider trading.
"Stewart, 79, was convicted of conspiracy, obstruction and making false statements to investigators, in connection with an investigation into insider trading. Feb. 24, 2021"

But if he wanted to do this, then he could most certainly do this using Bitcoin (or even Floki ) & dogecoin.
As he is the Dogefather.

[dupee419]

Musk’s approach is beneficial to both Dogecoin and Tesla. Musk has its own traffic. He advertised Dogecoin that it has made enough money, and because of its popularity, everyone pays attention to it, and it also brings enthusiasm to Tesla.

I agree, but looking at Musk right now, it seems that he has lied low towards Doge and letting other memecoins rally the leaderboard. EM also has decided to invest in cryptocurrency because he himself know that this is the future, therefore, he's not only here because he has the power to manipulate the market or let alone a single memecoin be stormed just by tweeting, he's here because he wants to seek immense profit in the future also, just like us.

Everyone should know that for an entrepreneur one goal is to make a profit. what it does is make people believe what it says but behind it all there is a hidden purpose that cannot be removed from a "profit" entrepreneur and he has got it.

we can't fault what he did because this is purely a business he has been doing, all were amazed by what was said but he enjoyed what was said where all followed. typical entrepreneur is as much as possible to attract people or investors to follow what he said.

I agree with you that what he says is full of its own purpose which it really wants to enjoy. great benefit from what has been done where all can be lulled by his tweet.

[Reatim]

Watching the lately spot about Musk appearing on live tv this weekend for showing what all the hype is about and if he will actually have a mention of his favorite cryptocurrency doge, it seems the media are jumping all over this appearance.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWWzszskgmA

What are your thoughts about this North American appearance and what do you think he will do or say about doge or even bitcoin?
I think since Miley Cyrus is the musical guest he will have her dress up as a dog and call her doge.
She likes cats and had dressed up as them on stage during her concerts, so you never know what these two crazy people will do on this episode.

that month it is Dogecoin his favorite but after few months changes the air and come to Shiba Inu . and now what is the next to pump by this person?

I come to believe in his power of advertising and most of His statements makes the coin increase insignificantly .

though i did not believe in his past messages , now i will try to ride with it.

[masterrex]

IMO, and contrary to others observations I dont think "Elon Musk" needed crypto to boost its mainstream companies, like Tesla and SpaceX because both are already popular, and worth Billions of dollars, so why Elon needs the speculative crypto to promote its high tech companies for me it doesn't make sense but one thing is certain Elon Musk opinion has a huge impact on crypto because of one reason" he is a successful and ultra-rich businessman the richest person on the planet that's why many people believe in him and consider his advice.

Elon Musk After Market Correction

[maria1110]

Elon musk is genius in doing business. He knows for sure that crypto is good investment, and would like to use his influence over the internet to boost coin price while promoting his car brand.
He has thus created a virtuous cycle, it's a win-win strategy.

[rdbase]

Anyone up on current events have already heard that Elon has bought enough shares in the former company of Jack Dorsey(inwhich starting next month is when he is officially departing) that he can essentially take control of the entire Twitter corporation.
With the hostile takeover of Twitter they have introduced the poison pill so it can not happen even if he did want to go that route.

In response to the plan of Elon Musk to buy the entire shares of Twitter, there were more suggestions from the netizens to buy Sri Lanka instead of Twitter for $43billion. This suggestion have come out as Sri Lanka is facing the worst economic crisis since its independence.

How serious Elon Musk takes it is unknown, but the suggestions were really fun filled. One user have suggested to buy Sri Lanka and name it Ceylon Musk. Another have suggested about having the best graphite whithin the country that can be used in Tesla.

Well if your company and stock are starting to absolutely go to the trash can and given the fact the volatility and possible profitability of crypto then it might be feasible he might be using that to add some sort of profit to his portfolio. Also given the fact that with one tweet his post can be seen by millions maybe even billions of people he may have the ability with his amazing feat of public relations that he can actually with ease cook the books.

It appears that we might have fallen for Elon's tricks again. I speculate that Elon only wants to pump his twitter stocks similar to how he pumps dogecoin. By tweeting about them hehehe. This is only a speculation, however.

Elon Musk bought 9% of twitter stock and filed with the SEC a proposal telling everyone that he wants to buy the whole company for $54.20 a share. This filing allows him legally to tweet and say anything to pump the stock in social media. Very much similar to the way he pumps dogecoin hehehehehee.

From the reports, he wants to buy up the company and set the rest of the shareholder's yearly pay to zero.
If this doesn't sound like some kind of trolling job at this point I don't know what does.
He has angered most of the shareholders especially the prince of Saudi Arabia who has a vast majority of the shares in twitter when it comes to free speech.
So only time will tell what he will do next in this hostile overtake of the company. Which he is no stranger too. This is how he got to own Tesla.
There is plenty of evidence of this all over youtube and the rest of internet.

With all the talk being focused on the take over of twitter by Musk today here are some points to what could come and one related to a cryptocurrency:

This was accepted by all board members so no hard feelings from those involved with the buyout.
But there are some who have opposed showing hashtag #leavingtwitter with some offbeats memes.

[rdbase]

Mister Musk received what he wanted to in the first place and it wasn't entirely the ownership over twitter.
It was..
The Publicity that followed.
It was a win-win by all accounts in his favor with this take over of the company.
Jack Dorsey came out and posted on his former media platform that he "was happy" & even "endorsed" that Elon has complete control of his creation.
What follows now is anybodies guess.
But with the most recent leaked audio of an earlier board meeting, it doesn't seem to be the same sediment going around the company left in Musk's wake.

[goldkingcoiner]

Elon Musk has surrounded himself with people who are much much smarter than him. He himself is no dolt either, so obviously he has understood the potential for crypto. Although I am not sure as to why he would promote Dogecoin. If anything that does make it seem like he is just doing PR with a large audience which he "kidnapped" and made it his own community.

Egomaniac is as egomaniac does.

I liked how you put kidnapped for the user base on twitter.
They can suspend or just stop using the platform if they want.
And many have in a way to protest the change of ownership.
Don't think it will matter because with the news coming out of it they have added 30 million new users.
Whether those be authentic actual real users, that would need to be decided when Musk's implementations actually do take effect.

He had backers for his takeover bid of the company and they are well known entities in any circle:

Just by looking at some of the names on this list the one which sticks out the most is CZ's exchange.

I recognize a lot of these as Venture Capitals as they have invested in Binance and other crypto projects before. Such as Sequoia Capital, a16z and many more. So I am guessing Elon's got a mix of his own investors and crypto investors in the game. I wonder why Vitalik Buterin isn't jumping onboard?

Unless this Twitter takeover is a train wreck and Twitter does not become the next Myspace, then we might be seeing a lot of crypto adoption soon. In any case, for the crypto community this is a win-win situation. Or perhaps more of a win-losenothing situation.

[amishmanish]

Elon musk is very futuristic in his approach. He knows that data is digital gold, he invested in creating his own network of satellites for providing internet services, he bought tweeter, He has single handedly kept dodge in limelight and, this greatly enhanced the value  of dodge coin. I believe he is doing all this as a part of a bigger plan, where a decentralized economy, free from government control can be executed.

Seems like Elon is getting himself in alot of unwanted attention with a post saying "If he dies in the coming days.."
He is now getting in trouble with the Russian government with them accusing him of providing their enemy with spy equipment which is absurd.
Mr.Beast is looking to inherit twitter if his assumptions are true.

This sounds like something out of spy novel. So we can only wait to see what unfolds in the coming days.

[ChiBitCTy]

I've said it a million times but I think Elon is a fool who has no idea how cryptocurrency really works.  I have it on good authority that he is the same way when it comes to Tesla and Space X..that he talks out of his ass all the time and no one corrects him on it since he's well.. Elon Musk.  If you watch the round table he did not too long ago with Jack Dorsey and Cathie Wood, it's clear the guy has no clue.  To me I think he just likes doge because he knows the big wallets can control things more and he wants to pump it being so low in price.  Though I do think Jack Dorsey has gotten in his ear a bit with the whole Doge thing, and I think it might be starting to rub off on him (Jack being a maximalist).

[GigaBit]

Elon Musk is a successful businessman. It becomes much easier to do anything he wants. When he tweeted about Doge Coin, Doge would be skyroket and when he talks about Tesla, Telsa is at the top of the discussion. Now he already bought Twitter. After all, I would call him a rich businessman, nothing more.

[Imran232]

Honestly speaking, I believed he was Elon Masque. And it's nearly impossible to predict what Elon Mask will think or do next. Because if anyone can guess, then I don't think there will be anymore elon masks. So there is only one Elon Mask because his thoughts are unimaginable for anyone. Could you remember the name of the Paypal mafia? Just think of the photo of the PayPal Mafia where there is no Elon Masks photo. So he's every big business deal, but he's on his way. So it's tough to know his vision. I thought others' opinions might be different. Thank you.

So in original Elon fashion:
https://www.theglobeandmail.com/business/technology/article-elon-musk-says-44-billion-twitter-deal-on-hold/

Is he doing this so to watch the stock plunge as it is upon news of this coming out before the bell,
So to scoop it up for a cheaper (a few billion less) price?

[rdbase]

From the looks of it Musk is not satisfied on how twitter is being maintained and since the massive amount of bot accounts on the platform has basically pulled out of the deal:
https://nypost.com/2022/06/06/elon-musk-accuses-twitter-of-breaching-contract-over-spam-bots
And from a report earlier today suggests has had the financiers of this buyout stopped funding as well:
https://nypost.com/2022/06/07/elon-musks-threat-to-nix-44b-twitter-deal-reportedly-halts-financing

[rdbase]

Can not believe what I heard last night about this twitter deal cause I thought it was dead and nothing else will come of it.
But I was sorely so very wrong.

Twitter has now announced they will allow Elon Musk being the potential buyer of the company to have access to all tweets from something called a firehose API.

"After a weeks-long impasse, Twitter's board plans to comply with Elon Musk's demands for internal data by offering access to its full 'firehose,' the massive stream of data comprising more than 500 million tweets posted each day, according to a person familiar with the company's thinking, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe the state of negotiations," the Post wrote.
source: https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2022/06/twitter-reportedly-will-give-musk-the-full-firehose-of-user-data-he-demanded

More information about it here:
https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/twitter-api/enterprise/compliance-firehose-api/overview
https://www.pubnub.com/blog/what-is-a-data-firehose-api/

So does this mean that he will be able to access all private conversations on the platform as well?

[sklopan]

I think that Elon is playing a more complex game and, in general, is supporting new technologies. It should be understood that he quite successfully uses his popularity for enrichment.

I think that Elon is playing a more complex game and, in general, is supporting new technologies. It should be understood that he quite successfully uses his popularity for enrichment.

I agree, before entering crypto Elon Musk is madly in love with technology and we can't deny the fact that what Tesla is doing right now it is because of the continuous innovation and hardwork of Elon. The moment he enter crypto because it is what he wants and he is open to new ideas that could be good in the long run and will be beneficial to the world, he does not do crypto things just to gain attention.

[CryptSafe]

Elon Musk is good at his games and knows what to say and do not just that, he knows the right time to do it. He's a strong hype man for blockchain that's what everyone in the space wants to get his attention towards a project so as to Chun out something from his hype. Don't forget his always a major holder in the industry and his influence attracts investors to projects upon him talking or tweeting about it.

[rdbase]

The use of his name and companies have gone mainstream media broadcasted on prime time television promoting a scam in the form of the alt coin craze.
Elongoat coin and the creator was shown promoting it on Fox news and the so called reporter on the story was actually taking it serious.
The guy kept saying "It has utility!". If the reporter really wanted to debunk it he would of asked what kind of utility does this even have?!
They want you to invest your lifesavings into a complete scam because if anyone with a brain even looked at the chart they put up during the interview, they would of lost half their investment within the four-five months this coin had been up.

[rdbase]

It seems that every other week Musk manages to stay in the news.
But even with this attention grabbing news, I doubt he would want this kind of publicity when it comes to the headlines today.
He is being sued for his entire net worth by someone claiming him promoting a pyramid scheme with a cryptocurrency he has basically embraced and is known to condone it with accepting it as a form of payment for products from his companies in the past.
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-06-16/musk-tesla-spacex-are-sued-for-alleged-dogecoin-pyramid-scheme

https://www.nbcnews.com/now/video/elon-musk-facing-258-billion-lawsuit-over-alleged-dogecoin-pyramid-scheme-142285381638

Class action lawsuits aren't so easy to just shake off. Just don't know what the one who is making these claims is going to do if he loses.

[rdbase]

Seems that Musk does favor dogecoin in some way or another with what he discusssed during his interview on the Economic forum in Qatar this past week:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTBeGjg4pek

Stating his companies does accept payments in this cryptocurrency for merchandise but that does not include for the actual products and services which his companies main focus are, for example buying an actual Tesla or booking a flight on SpaceX.

[rdbase]

Twitter deal seemed to have the bottom fall out and are now sueing the multi billionaire for the amount he is to pay for the company.
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-07-13/twitter-uses-elon-musk-s-tweets-against-him-in-buyout-lawsuit
But of course Elon is doing Elon things and making it look as if he planned it all along to play out like this:

"‘Musk’s exit strategy is a model of hypocrisy,’ Twitter argues"

He is just here to make money. He's been selling everything. Manipulated Twitter and made a bunch of money for him and his frens. Sold Tesla to "buy twitter" without causing a panic tht his company is currently overvalued. Made billions there. Now sell a bunch of Btc before it goes down 50% from where it's at now. Elon Musk has made more money than anybody in this bear market. Smart man imo

You are right. He is certainly not a Bitcoin believer, for him Bitcoin was simply a means to an end. Like Twitter or Doge or many other things. Yes, he is certainly not a bit of a fool, what I would like is for the market not to be so influenced when he lifts a finger.

[rdbase]

There has been some talk in the reasons why his company Tesla sold almost all their holdings in BTC.
So he can pay off his lawyers fees for the Twitter lawsuit filed against him for trying to retract his ongoing bid.
On a serious note, During his Q2 conference call he mentions that they will be holding on to their doge.
He even seems to troll during these serious conference calls to his board of directors who don't know a lick about cryptocurrency.

Posted about this ongoing news subject on the other thread more along these lines of discussion located here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5310742.msg60601862#msg60601862

Now we know the answer from the most recent news breaking a couple of hours ago which is causing the price to drop again after rising a bit after a 5 week slump:
https://www.wsj.com/livecoverage/tesla-earnings-q2-2022-elon-musk-live/card/tesla-sells-75-of-its-bitcoin-purchases-tgkMdMf1EHDvdniqHu8S
https://www.coindesk.com/business/2022/07/20/tesla-sold-936m-worth-of-bitcoin-in-second-quarter/
Selling 75% of your holdings and it being worth $963 million sure doesn't sound you support something that you fully believe in.

How can a personality like Elon musk do not know the potential of bitcoin? I could not believe this.
I think he understands bitcoin very well but he tweets only to get the attention or to move the market according to his trades & manipulation.

[amishmanish]

I think its great that someone like Elon musk is backing crypto, and yes he has personal interest in Dodge, but overall his support has provided positivity to crypto ecosystem. I think he is increasing his stake in crypto because he has clarity that future of crypto is bright and he also wants to be on the front seat of the crypto bus.

[Easteregg69]

Elon never had an objection in his life.

Plain billionaire damage.

Monkey brains? Stay of! I talk about scientific experiments with no respect for organic life.

You don't wanna be that modified monkey. You would repair them and return them to the zoo.

That's the whole idea. Take out the niche. This one goes out to the ones that called the police when I tried to make money.

Super name. Genesis. Elon. (Give him a golden crown and act a fool. Ludacris).

His statement that attracts investors will also benefit him since he has a huge investment in crypto. Elon focuses on making more profit in crypto because he sees it as another opportunity to become richer. Elon's mindset only focuses on making money regardless of negative feedback from other investors. I'm sure that he's also backing up Doge as part of his profiting strategy.

So far we have seen that Elon Musk is indeed tweeting about crypto, especially Dogecoin, but I think he is nothing more than a businessman who does make his influence for personal gain even though in the eyes of the public he looks like someone who supports crypto, now apart from the president of El Salvador And also Michael Sailor, I personally don't believe there are people like Their who really support crypto so it can continue to grow except for personal gain, and it's even said that Elon Musk and Tesla have sold 75% of their bitcoins just because they are afraid of the consequences the covid lockdown in china and also to balance their corporate cash, so I think Elon Musk and Tesla's plan to sell their bitcoins shows that they don't really have as much faith  the future of bitcoin as El Salvador president Nayib Bukele has so far.

[OgNasty]

First and foremost, Elon is in it for the money.  That's how you become the richest man in the world.  The most amazing thing about Elon is how he's able to frame the discussion around him.  He'll have you believing he wants to save humanity by making billions from cars and soon space travel.  You have to remember this is the guy that convinced the world he was helping populate our species when he cheated on his pregnant wife to get a co-worker pregnant.  He sold his Bitcoin because he thought it was the best financial choice to make.  There is no other reason.  If he gets back in, it will be to make money.  Period.

Backing? He bought bitcoin for his personal gain, tweeted about it to get the price higher, sold it all and badmouthed it for being bad for environment. The price crashed after his tweets and maybe one day we'll learn who benefited from it. Maybe Musk gave a tip to some of his rich friends to be ready to buy and then began to tweet all these things about bitcoin? We all know that price tanked in 2021 after his tweets and recovered soon to reach a new high. Some people made a lot of money on Musk's manipulations.

Manipulative? Yes it is possible but the community isnt really blind on how Musk trying out to play with peoples mind specially that we are really that highly reactive when it comes to news and events in the market.Just like what been said by other people that we arent that blind on not to notice something and if it turns out that people are already getting tired or already done on what Elon is been doing.
It do really become too obvious on what his motives are and this is where community starts to mold some hate.

Boosting his business and company? Its not surprising for a billionaire on trying out to market his one of the source of his revenue.

Musk does everything perfectly to make money out of it. It can be cryptocurrency or something else. What he aims for will be attained through some means. He understood well about the market. There are people who keeps following his trend to make some money. Once after the price tanked to the ATH people just ignored him. This is where he lost his importance in the cryptospace. So, further I'm not sure how he's gonna influence the market as people well understood his activities.

[rdbase]

^^
Of course. He is a business man first and fore most. Whatever it is that makes him money for his companies well being(s) then he is all for it.
And in this case it was bitcoin. But for a brief moment.
He then turned over and had one of those companies sell off most of it's holdings and now after sending out a tweet about it after it took place you know where he stands on anything to do with bitcoin.
Calling it a "Sideshow" doesn't make you any new friends in the cryptomarkets like how Saylor was to him when he first bought after a tweet from the bitcoin whale.

[HeavensPro]

That's just a marketing play I suppose. It gives people the thought "wow they're the future" and gives them an illusion that Elon is interested in the same things they are interested in. Musk is just a good businessman. I don't think that he has a lot of time to study the crypto market and get involved in it.

I think your opinion can be right or wrong for what Elonmusk has done so far to crypto, especially to doge. Indeed, it must be admitted that what Elonmusk has done may also bring a positive side to crypto but it does not rule out the possibility that it can also be a negative side.
as a businessman, we must also know that the orientation that is carried out is purely to seek profit from whatever is done, as long as it is profitable then he will do it.

my opinion is, don't expect anything more from elonmusk, if the situation is like this, then we don't see anything he does to be able to boost bitcoin especially with doge.
the situation is indeed a correction and he won't be able to do anything and it looks like he can't do anything about this.

[hZti]

I don't think that he has a lot of time to study the crypto market and get involved in it.

I think that may be one of the biggest issues. I could imagine that as a nerd he would be interested in bitcoin, but in the end he has no time to learn how bitcoins works. So he uses it for a time as a marketing stunt and then leaves, since he has no knowledge to use bitcoin more in-depth.

[wallet4bitcoin]

Musk is just a good businessman.

I agree on this point. Of course he is a good businessman.  That is why many people follow him. Even earning money is very easy for him. Just buy a token/coin and then tweet.  His followers build there huge pump.

I think elon musk for his goal. Of course I  believe cryptos world make him and his company's more popular.

It might had been possible in the past where he could make out those manipulative kind of tweets or calls but people arent dumb and wont be committing on the same mistakes anymore and as we have seen on past

tweets and other relevant things attached to him which people do ignore most of the time and wont really be making out significant action or step basing up on what he had been doing into the market.We had already
some experience in the past and investors becomes even more wiser on anytime they do experience failures or something that talks about getting fooled or manipulated.

For Elon then it is really normal that he would really be trying his best on marketing out his companies since we know that it is one of its main sources and the reason
on why he had able to attain the richest man on this planet.

Elon musk is fooling everyone with his statement of bitcoin to boost his tesla shares and come in news ...and grab attention ... He is a marketing genius person. He did not tell media of how much bitcoin his company sell out previous so i don't think whether he is purchase bitcoin or not because i do not believe him after the twitter's buying news

[smartaction]

Elon Musk just wants to see himself as famous and always the world's top rich man . So he adopts different methods at different times. his purpose is to earn a lot of money.  So he sometimes ventures into crypto and sometimes buys various tokens and shills those tokens

Most crypto users have bad comments for Elon Musk. Due to its promotion Doge , SHIB by Elon musk, many people have experienced huge losses by holding SHIB & Doge tokens . Although many have made profit from here but the amount of loss is huge. I think Elon Musk is a greedy man.  Who always thinks only about his own improvement

[MinoRaiola]

Don't forget, Doge-1 will launch in future and Elon is really having fun with it. "To the Moon“ with Dogecoin, that's what he wants. Save money and be smart to send one rocket into space without paying for it, so if it goes great. And that would make SpaceX even more famous. That's what I think, have some fun and still make his company stronger.

[TheNineClub]

Watching the lately spot about Musk appearing on live tv this weekend for showing what all the hype is about and if he will actually have a mention of his favorite cryptocurrency doge, it seems the media are jumping all over this appearance.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWWzszskgmA

What are your thoughts about this North American appearance and what do you think he will do or say about doge or even bitcoin?
I think since Miley Cyrus is the musical guest he will have her dress up as a dog and call her doge.
She likes cats and had dressed up as them on stage during her concerts, so you never know what these two crazy people will do on this episode.

Is he for crypto? We'll he's for making money, so he's more or less like 80% of crypto investors Is he about the idea and concept of crypto? Again, he could be, but he's also more invested in his own project so crypto comes as an afterthought. Again, nothing that separates him from at least 80% of crypto investors.

Making some fun with your investment or business? Its not a bad thing but i dont see this way but rather thriving out his best just to put up emphasis and getting more attention on just simply doing

things which are obviously for the sake and benefit of his companies and we've seen that in the past on how he had make out some manipulation just for his benefit which it wont really be that
surprising yet every business owners would really be tending to do so if they do have the chance and also he wont really be reaching billionaire state if he doesnt know on what he's doing.

Some of his comments on doge coin scales more than bitcoin proves that he doesn't no shit about bitcoin, he is just a man who employee good guys with big IQ and talent to run his business, that's exactly how he successfully run Tesla and the launch of spaceX, he doesn't know how that shit work, people work for him.

Very true in this statement.
Most are into it for financial gain and nothing more. As it is a currency, and the more you have of it the wealthier you are.
That is pure economics.

Although many have made profit from here but the amount of loss is huge. I think Elon Musk is a greedy man.  Who always thinks only about his own improvement

And that is exactly why most who have come to know about crypto hate him.
Because they invested into these coins (or the ones that have his name tied to them in someway or another whether that be by legitimate means or by nefarious ones) and have lost their funds or in some cases their lifesavings.
And you made a great point:
Elon Musk is a greedy business man through and through.
He's only looking out himself and what is in his best interests and nothing more.

You should begin to be skeptical on what Elon was really doing when he was shilling dogecoin. He knew what he was doing. Also, he has divorced from 3 wives who might have gotten a large share of his assets. He will be needing some extra money hehehehe and do not underestimate human greed.

Also, Elon has a large following in social media and he loves to troll. How can he profit from this? Shill a coin traded in an unregulated market where the SEC cannot give him legal problems. Elon is a cold blooded profiteer.

You should begin to be skeptical on what Elon was really doing when he was shilling dogecoin. He knew what he was doing. Also, he has divorced from 3 wives who might have gotten a large share of his assets. He will be needing some extra money hehehehe and do not underestimate human greed.

Also, Elon has a large following in social media and he loves to troll. How can he profit from this? Shill a coin traded in an unregulated market where the SEC cannot give him legal problems. Elon is a cold blooded profiteer.

He could just easily create his own coin or token and just shill it to his massive amount of followers on all media platforms if he was in the quest for profits.
But he is not and just only loathes the attention he garners from giving attention to anything he wants to.
And this inturn brings more attention and thus profits to his own companies.

So if he was to do anything with cryptocurrenies than it wouldn't be to make any money out of it.
He obviously has enough coming in from the other companies he owns.

[franky1]

the running joke on twitter is:

stupid media (fox news and other crap news media) do not do any actual real reporting on real news events. instead they just glamourise whatever is trending/on twitter by using twitter as their news story sources.. without even bothering to validate if the tweets are real or jokes

many celebs are starting to do this. say silly things to see which silly news media outlet reports on the tweet.

some are also calling out all the crap news media where different stations read out the same story word for word. without any independent editorial checks

[bbc.reporter]

That's just a marketing play I suppose. It gives people the thought "wow they're the future" and gives them an illusion that Elon is interested in the same things they are interested in. Musk is just a good businessman. I don't think that he has a lot of time to study the crypto market and get involved in it.

Yes he could, however, that might be within the legal jurisdiction of the SEC to charge him for selling and issuing illegal securities. Dogecoin is a cryptocoin issued through the utilization of proof of work. This is very much similar to bitcoin where the SEC cannot charge the issuers of the coin of the protocol.

What would be his purpose for shilling dogecoin if it was not to make money out of it? I reckon everyone who is presently here in the cryptospace is here to make money out of it.

Yeah and some strong political motivations along with their morning cup of joe.

Imagine what these crap news media stations would do if Musk actually did own twitter.
He would be another Rupert Murdoch who owns Time warner, disney, etc etc.
Controlling the narrative of countless households across America.

I think he's in for crypto for a long term because he knows what crypto can offer at the long run, likewise he's in for the gains also, when he bought bitcoin we all know because he informed the whole world via his twitter account, when he sold at profit also we get to know a couple of months after from him indirectly and from a third party. I believe that a lot of people have get to know more about Tesla after promoting crypto few months ago. He's in for everything, the gain, the attention, to promote his Tesla and long term investment in crypto most especially dogecoin

Hard to believe that Elon is in for crypto, because I have seen him showing interest in crypto for a while. In fact, a lot of cryptocurrencies are back to pre Elon Musk crypto pump, at least Bitcoin has rolled back to where it was, since Elon started frequently naming it in his tweets. Did you know that recently Tesla has celebrated sales of 3 million cars around the world ? It will be easier for me to believe, that Elon has used cryptocurrency as a promotion of Tesla, than being in for crypto guy. No doubt that he is a technology guy, but he is a businessman on first place.

That's right, he's a businessman, that says it all. He has a wonderful talent to make money in absolutely any area where he sees an opportunity to do this, and this is what defines a good businessman. He has plenty of money and he does what he likes, in the case of crypto, I think that it started as a hobby for him, as some kind of entertainment, and it seems to me that he continues to behave as if it was just a game for him.

This is exactly what I meant "In it for the dubs!". He is in it for the gains of course.
Whether that be for profit or just to put another feather in his cap for the cryptos.
He is a showman. If you haven't seen that movie then that is exactly what he is.
Purely in it for the exposure as he gets a rush being in the spotlight.
Without it he would cease to be relevant in the media.
Just another CEO behind a desk pulling the strings of his multimillion dollar companies.

[teddybear]

Elon Musk has sure had a lot to say about cryptocurrencies over the years. And some of it has been quite promotional, so much so that it would be easy to see how someone would think Musk was offering investment advice but he just say that crypto is safe to invest, he never say invest in crypto that's the business logic....think about it friends

Yeah you are right I've seen the movie shownman, exactly what he is doing, mainly in for the profit, I could remember when he made the move to buy twitter he was the talk of the whole world then, with such a huge amount of money to buy twitter, he got more famous with that, and twitter shares pumped, I'm very sure he would have longed and before the announcement, before he decided that he has no interest in buying again, he would have short also, that's pure manipulation, that's exactly what he did with bitcoin, sold at the peak of 70k after buying the dip

[idrisalomagold]

Watching the lately spot about Musk appearing on live tv this weekend for showing what all the hype is about and if he will actually have a mention of his favorite cryptocurrency doge, it seems the media are jumping all over this appearance.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWWzszskgmA

What are your thoughts about this North American appearance and what do you think he will do or say about doge or even bitcoin?
I think since Miley Cyrus is the musical guest he will have her dress up as a dog and call her doge.
She likes cats and had dressed up as them on stage during her concerts, so you never know what these two crazy people will do on this episode.

Just another individual who wants to use his influence and make money out of it! Just like other prominent financial people who make negative comments for bitcoin but bought during the times they FUD!

This is another proof that market is definitely somehow manipulated

Yeah but the difference between this individual and all the rest is that he knows how to garner alot of attention and utilize it towards his own benefit and that of his empire:

So far he has emphasized how big the prospects are when investing in crypto, but he also asserts that he has never invited others to follow his steps to invest in crypto, even though Elon Musk has often tweeted that has an impact on crypto hype but he always reminds the risk there is, I personally see that Elon Musk is like an ordinary person who is just looking for profit in crypto, but because he is the richest person in the world, of course, influences others to follow him, even though we have realized that every investment what we do is our own responsibility regardless of who we follow.

[seoincorporation]

Elon uses cryptos as capitalization tool, it's simple as that. He has the power to manipulate markets and he already prove it. And if he need cash for his projects he can sell he recently bumped coins 

Is a smart move, and is a way to capitalize big projects... No one say it was cheap or easy to create an electric car, or create space ships or artificial neural links. The money should come from some where, and not all comes from cryptos, this is just another income source.

[NotATether]

I don't think Elon Musk has enough time between designing stuff at SpaceX/Tesla/Starlink/Boring Company/that neurallink or whetever its called, and media appearences to manipulate the market even rudimentarily.

True, he is just using crypto to get bigger profits for other purposes. Its financial strength can move these relative markets, so market manipulation is always possible by individuals or groups of deep-pocketed whales. It seemed easy how he created the hype, but things were different now. People are educated on losses, so we'll see the Elon Musk hype no longer strong enough to move the market any time soon.

He could've create his own coin easily, yes, but I think that won't garner any much support from the public and investors because his intentions would be too clear if he would do that as he is already known as a crypto whale. Might be good for him if he just keeps on trolling on what specific coin or token he is into, just like how vocal he is on what he is hodling currently. Other than that, who knows what is his true intentions

Only Lord knows the people he informed before he literally pumps doge and manipulates his way out. He does that too to Bitcoin but that was easy for him because of the bull run, I dare him now to try those stupid memes on his Twitter handle to see if he will be able to do that this time around.

Now that we have a bear market, most people who are new to the market will by now have learned their lessons, this is the period you will know the strong and the real diamonds hands and not the typical ones that were shouting strong hands in a bull market time.

There's no scam happened and you couldnt really just simply make out those claims since Elon wasnt really able to steal money from people but somewhat it did really make out some manipulative actions which causes for people to lose up their investment.

Well, its just normal that he would really make out some boosting up in regarding with his businesses or companies via some tweets but he never forces out people to follow on what he do
and since we know on how social media words then it is really just dumb that people do really throw up some blame whenever they do have some investment losses
without even trying to realize that it was their own fault on the first place.

He did it understanding the people's mind. We can't term this to be a scam, because he didn't mention or suggested anyone to follow him. He just did of his own and hyped the market. Just because he's popular the market got manipulated. By the time people made big money as well as lost big. So, it is simply their luck.

Now people are well aware of these kind of Influencers. Recently he made some tweets and nothing drove the market. Because, people are well aware and doesn't want to fall for his tweets. Following influencers profits, if the investment is being made at the right time. It is high risk than just investing.

The bitcoin price is definitely manipulated. If you just look at the price before then after the announcement by Powell during his speech about inflation in the US. It dropped $400 within less than 10 minutes and he hasn't even finished speaking yet.

actually an elon will not be able to prove that he will be able to give encouragement to the doge if he does this now, because the market is bearish. So I don't believe in Elon's ability to be able to give doge improvements. as an entrepreneur he is smart to take advantage of the trust of many people through his tweets to be able to give encouragement to the doge, but when the market is still possible to be manipulated.
as an entrepreneur he knows the situation and will do what he thinks will benefit him and he will not do anything when indeed he himself would not be able to do it.

[ObscurePen]

Musk is just for Tesla and SpaceX. He has concerns over Bitcoin because of the greenhouse emissions emitted when mining Bitcoin. I think that is why he like DOGECOIN. Musk will not support Bitcoin for sure.

[BobK71]

this man clearly earned his popularity, because such people will not pump the DOGE coin so often, we don't know much, but we can definitely assume that he benefited from all this.

He got more than he expected from a meme coin. Now he has not made much progress with it. He is a renowned businessman. Because of his various businesses, he may not be able to give proper time to all businesses. Maybe his crypto business is at an insignificant stage compared to other businesses.

Although we don't know any plans for his doge coin. Hopefully something will happen but of course after the bull market goes through.

[Osteoid]

I don't think one affects the other in any way. Yes, Elon Musk is a proponent of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, but he also considers his finances, investors, and shareholders, just like any other CEO or a business owner. Personally, I don't see any competing interests or anything similar here. Everything makes sense and is clear. Well, it is only healthy to be envious when he succeeds in doing both.

[Mr. Magkaisa]

-  All I know is that Elon Musk is a rich man and also an influential businessman in the business world.
He is a very popular person, and no matter what crypto token he endorses, even if it has no value in the market, he will surely be able to increase the value in the market even if it is temporary.

Because I remembered when he just posted a short message on dogecoin, the price of dogecoin suddenly pumped up in the market, and even the Shiba Inu did the same.

It means that if other tokens can increase the value and have many community investors, how much more can Tesla and SpaceX.

[amishmanish]

I guess Elon Musk is a entrepreneur who is not shy of taking risks. He has been in crypto as he know there is something going on in crypto space that can actually help him make good profits. But yes if some one like him promotes crypto, it gives a lot of confidence to common investors.

[Imran232]

What do you think? Is it possible for us to predict or guess the Elon Mask's next step? If it was possible, then obviously he is not the elon mask you know. He is the person whose thoughts are impossible to know. Now if you ask us what Elon's plan is with Bitcoin and Crypto, he is just doing all the things to get attention and boost his products like Tesla and SpaceX. Well, what I think is that it's not about only Tesla or Spacex, he is all about running and planning for profit. When he believes it is time to profit from crypto, he comes and begins his games with crypto and market manipulation. With cryptocurrency, he achieves two goals: he becomes controversial and generates buzz for his product; what we call "negative marketing" is a form of marketing. That's my overall opinion. Thank you.

[Whiteness]

did he said anything to confirm this statement? I always thought he's just joking and trolling about Dogecoin. I still think he's not serious about it. he might have invested in dogecoin but for him throwing some million dollars is not a big deal. and this was a good investment for him considering if he invested in dogecoin at right time.

His next step was a strategy that looked to have worked out in his favor from the last bit of news to make way on this saga regarding him taking over twitter.
The shareholders are wanting to take his offer now.
https://www.cnn.com/2022/09/13/tech/twitter-elon-musk-deal-shareholder-vote/index.html
They were ready to sue for damages but instead will accept his $44bln acquisition bid.
Looks like the chess match he was playing with the board directors really did pay off in the long run.

[rdbase]

So now to avoid the lawsuit against him Elon Musk has agreed to buy twitter for the purposed $44bln from what was sold for over three months ago.
https://www.ign.com/articles/elon-musk-offering-to-buy-twitter-at-the-original-price

The trial date was set for October 17th, less than two weeks from now.
It seems something has tweaked his interest in the acquisition after all.

[Hamza2424]

I have a double minded answer for that 😜 actually what he do is to grab attention which he gets by his sense of Humor as By his nature. He Do Crazy things and Grab Attention what he did with the Doge haha, where are the Doge investors now well in my opinion He dont need marketing for his Tesla Products as he do it by his Actions. For the concern of crypto he knows the potential and about the future of Finance so he is building up his Place in Community which he did greatly.

I agree on the first reason, he's for crypto just as his way of getting people's attention about Tesla and SpaceX. Secondly I also think Elon Musk wants to increase his financial coffers by investing in bitcoin as well as altcoins, but it starts to attract all the interest after some of his wishes are achieved.

I didn't know Elon had a great sense of humor, but in the end people thought he did because of his madness. I think Elon is strong because of his finances, so he can do whatever he wants to do including acquiring twitter. I don't know what's next, but I'm not really interested.

And now this reports surfaces:

Elon Musk told prospective investors in his deal to buy the company that he planned to get rid of nearly 75 percent of Twitter’s 7,500 workers, whittling the company down to a skeleton staff of just over 2,000.

Even if Musk’s Twitter deal falls through — and there’s little indication now that it will — big cuts are expected: Twitter’s current management planned to pare the company’s payroll by about $800 million by the end of next year, a number that would mean the departure of nearly a quarter of the workforce, according to corporate documents and interviews with people familiar with the company’s deliberations. The company also planned to make major cuts to its infrastructure, including data centers that keep the site functioning for more than 200 million users that log on each day.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/10/20/musk-twitter-acquisition-staff-cuts/

So regardless, Twitter is on a massive employee cut, 75% of it's workforce will be out of work even if Musk is going or have acquired Twitter.

So definitely it's a bad news for their employees, but I guess that is the bad side of business. Even if Musk owns Twitter, as some point he has to make some money in the beginning and recover and have to let go of his employees.

E. has now bought Twitter for 44 MMusd and removes about 50% of its work force

Yes but he had to end up hiring back the developers of the platform because an issue happened with the blue checkmarked accounts being able to change their names next to their profiles. A bunch of celebrities were doing this and mocking the new CEO of Twitter and he ended up banning them. It was in the news sometime over the weekend.
Just hollywood mellowdrama so not needing to post any link to it as it was just silly. But him not knowing how to get his own coders and employees to deal with the issue was funny.

Something that is not funny is this news about him flipping on the Democratic party and telling his twitter followers to vote for the other party:
https://www.reuters.com/world/us/musk-recommends-voting-republicans-us-midterm-elections-tweet-2022-11-07/

The midterm elections just ended a few days ago and they are still counting ballots.
This can swing the vote quite a bit since the margin is so close to call.
It can define what the political landscape looks like going into the next election for the next U.S president.
And you know the huge role twitter had in the last one. So this will be interesting with Elon Musk at the helm with a no censorship type person at the head of the largest platform in the world.

[mosleya]

This guy is looking for attention, he seems to think he is a sort of superhero, but he is not, he just got the cash and feels powerful. I'm not one of the sheep to follow Musk blindly and I'm sure many others think the same.

Musk's ultimate goal is to realize his ideals, he now not only has the world's largest number of fans and users of social media - Twitter, he also has a powerful brain, full of wisdom. Of course, in this process, he is also constantly standing on the hot spot, and he is very good at running the show. Because his ideal requires huge financial support. Dogecoin is just a tool.

World's largest number of users on a platform according to this article of the most recent events which has garnering most of his attention from the number of tweets he has done within the past week.

Yet he did not have the capital on hand to do so.

Elon Musk shows a potential payments system over a meeting for twitter and the slides were shown on the platform by him.
Possibly doge coin was being directly linked to what this mystery payments slide could be and the price surged over the news
https://www.cryptoglobe.com/latest/2022/11/doge-price-surges-after-elon-musk-suggests-twitter-2-0-will-support-payments

The news of these future plans were described November 27th and caused the price jump of doge by 19.4%

[TungTresa]

I remember last year he said his company was considering whether to accept bitcoin payments, then the bitcoin price went up, then he announced that he wouldn't accept bitcoin payments, then the price went down. I really suspect he's playing a trick to make money from it.

Well now it is whatever cryptocurrency he wants his companies to support then they will get these price pumps.
Doge coin has reached past $0.10 an increase of 8% within the past 24 houts and trending up since the news of wanting to find a payments system for his platform, so it is obviously in the front running of everybody who is into cryptocurrenies choice other than bitcoin.

He is wanting to take on Apple with the announcement of wanting to create in his own Tesla phone.
With all the problems they have been encountering with factory strikes and now this, it is literally the perfect time for him to say "I don't need your approval, I will just create my own resource to distribute the twitter app on my own!".

Now imagine if he solely said "I want to integrate only BTC on my platform!"

Possibly back to where we were a year ago above $50k again.

[fennic]

Watching the lately spot about Musk appearing on live tv this weekend for showing what all the hype is about and if he will actually have a mention of his favorite cryptocurrency doge, it seems the media are jumping all over this appearance.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWWzszskgmA

What are your thoughts about this North American appearance and what do you think he will do or say about doge or even bitcoin?
I think since Miley Cyrus is the musical guest he will have her dress up as a dog and call her doge.
She likes cats and had dressed up as them on stage during her concerts, so you never know what these two crazy people will do on this episode.

Of course that is a right tingle that you got. I also think that he bought Twitter for 44 Billion dollars because he knows that its own single tweet can make Crypto and forex market like a Rocket. So in my opinion that by doing that he would make tons of money too.

Musk has got a lot of mysteries about him and as I see it now, he can still make some coins pump. His gaining success in creating in the minds of people that, there are no alternatives as to what he decides to key into.

Like, we've got bitcoin and several altcoins but, upon Musk picking a coin, the idea of buying Tesla's products and even pay for Twitter verification with that coin standouts in our heads. Users or investors tends to forget about other traditional payment options available and seek the new medium. Best still, its a cryptocurrency and an increased demand would pump its value hence, its sort for.

Well the people who takes Musk too serious will always be there. I admire his inititiative towards money making but, he doesn't direct much to what I would do in terms of coins to own. Sole control in cryptocurrency is a bad idea as one could just dump the coin as he pleases.

[rdbase]

Musk is having a field day on his new platform in the past month hasn't he? With him tweeting about whatever he wants to and having a captivated audience at his disposal must be the sole reason for taking it into his corporate ownership in the first place.
Seen a tweet of his inregards to the FTX founder and former ceo of being bad at playing league.
Which I found fitting since he was found to be playing it during multi-million dollar deals while still ceo of the now defunct crypto exchange.

So Elon wants to make a payment system for the newly acquired twitter company.

This poll setup by Elon was really a ploy to see how the platform performed against what he was striving to condemn in the first place:

https://www.bbc.com/news/business-64034892

Some were saying put Jack Dorsey back as CEO however this might end Elon Musk will remain the owner and have the last say on everything that happens at the company, regardless if he steps down as CEO or not.

[borovichok]

Elon Musk is one of the top influencial men in the crypto and the world at large. He's capable of making negative and positive results on any projects in the space. He's highly respected and whatever comes out of his mouth is final and the multitude always listen to him. Having a thought about Elon musk either for Crypto or just attention to boost Tesla and spaceX. He's doing everything within his capability to grow up his companies and skyrocketing them to the moon. He's buying most top platforms and also stands as CEO of some projects in the space, he's untouchable.

[rdbase]

^^
That's the thing, he buys out these companies and just installs another ceo in his place.
You see a pattern developing here? Now with twitter he is asking the public if he should step down.
Then who would replace him in this instance?
There is even Edward Snowden who has said he would take his place in the company if he were to be paid in bitcoin for the assignment.
Which is amusing in itself. He was the main reason why it became so popular when it did early on a decade ago.

[ZAINmalik75]

For many people, he is a real disaster. People blame him for the current big dump in Bitcoin price. Whether the dump is mainly caused by him or not, but inf fact after he tweeted about "Tesla no longer accept BTC payment", the Bitcoin price constantly declined. Well, he is a smart guy and an experienced businessman, I am sure he has planned this since the beginning. His purpose seems just to get attention from people around the world by doing this.

It is true that we received a boost when Tesla announced that they will accept BTC. At that time, the exchange rate was around $40,000 per coin (the increase from $8,000 to $40,000 was mostly due to PayPal). When Tesla reversed it's stance, the prices went back to the previous levels. n.

Elon Musk is a businessman he only join those kind of things from where he get profit, he bought a large amount of Bitcoin and then he post news that Tesla will accept Bitcoin as a payment method, due to this news Bitcoin goes bullish and as a result all those Bitcoin who bought by Elon at the price of 8000$ from us, sell it on us at the price of 40000$. Which mean he just use the news to earn from Bitcoin and after that he revoke his decision. So main point is that Elon has no interest in Bitcoin and his price. He just use it for his own interest.

[panganib999]

He most likely have investments in crypto at the time that he's so bullish with shilling memecoins. Which he also them funneled into Tesla hence part of the reason for its high valuation last year. Now that he's done with crypto, or at least so it seems, I doubt he'd ever do anything to maybe even boost its popularity to the people. Especially now that people sre seeing him for who he truly is which is a trust-fund baby with anger issues and nigh-zero social skills. His credibility on the internet is waning fast and it's better now that he's leaving crypto alone instead of shilling it and dragging us along with him and his mess.

I totally agree that he has no interest in btc and didn't even have it on doge but that he just enjoyed getting some rollercoaster rides.  Too bad I would have expected a man with a brain like his to have fully understood the true meaning.

This is a new term I haven't heard somebody referred to him but from what I have seen about his past he certainly could be.
As a child he was carrying emeralds in his pockets to show to his class mates so that does show as being the sort at an early age from his upbringing.

But about the subject about him and his company owning bitcoin and what they are going to do with it, Tesla has been suffering lately with him selling off nearly $3.6bln of it's stock. So it doesn't look like he is doing to well after the buying of twitter.
https://www.forbes.com/sites/siladityaray/2022/12/15/musk-sells-nearly-36-billion-in-tesla-stock-moves-further-away-from-richest-person-title/?sh=2c4a04076015

So he might be looking to sell off some of that bitcoin he has on Tesla's books so to offset his losses on the sale of twitter to him.

[rdbase]

So twitter is working on a coins system but using stripe's service to buy those coins.
Jack Dorsey definitely had some influence in this decision for sure.

Funny thing is that the former CEO of now bankrupt FTX offered to help in the acquisition deal of twitter with him.
Yet he did not have the capital on hand to do so.

That's why his bullshit meter was redlining FTX guy helping Elon Musk to purchase twitter. I imagine Elon's face expression at that moment

So Elon wants to make a payment system for the newly acquired twitter company.

Elon Musk is a businessman, not a messiah. While I admire him for his skills and talent, I think that everything he has done is for money and attention, to feed his ego. He is a great manipulator and marketing guru who knows what to do in certain moments. He is a person who can do something today to benefit from it years later.
At the moment, Elon Musk has a great reputation in the society, he is admired for his charisma, energy and people believe that all he want is good for people and somehow everyone forgets or doesn't give attention to the fact that he used crypto community and new investors to pump and dump crypto prices for personal profit.
So, the latest Twitter deal and his statement that he wants to return free speech, increased his popularity and reputation further. The fact that he "supports" cryptocurrencies which on another hand means that he even wants to make people independent from the government and the fact that he cofounded PayPal, makes him a great candidate to trust in payment systems today. But this will put all the power into his hands and then god knows what may happen from him.

He just used cryptos to make some money. He doesnt give a damn about it.

That's why there was a documentary on a popular news channel that put out a piece on him and called it:
Elon INC
"Elon Musk has built a reputation for changing the game by ignoring the rules, and his recent acquisition of Twitter is no different. Is the turbulent Twitter buyout just the next chapter in Elon Musk’s odds-defying story? CBS Reports peels back the layers on the high-stakes and high-rewards journey of one of the most polarizing and influential people of our time."
excerpt from youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8lq4ac_iq4

Twitter was an expensive deal for Musk to take over the media platform. The first set of interest payments on the loans he took to acquire twitter was from I heard $1billion to his lenders.
https://fortune.com/2023/01/18/elon-musk-twitter-sales-revenue-interest-payment-loans-debt

My guess will be him selling more stock of his other companies or possibly his holdings in bitcoin to offset the next set of interest payments in a couple of months down the road.

Elon have been trying to make good revenue through the Twitter acquisition. His plans didn't work, as he keeps making changes to the terms on the usage. Over the days after the acquiring the market of Twitter keeps decreasing due to the firing of staffs followed by the profile verification as premium services. Hate speech and eye same have made advertisers move out of Twitter causing major revenue loss. Even if the verified users prefer the blue tick service then it might bring another $400 - $500 million in revenue every year. The first loan settlement will give the outlie of his further plans for selling of his alternate stocks or had some other plan.

[OsipBabin]

Elon Musk is a cult figure for some of the smartest people on the planet. So what he's doing with the Dogecoin baffles me.
I mean, they say the Internet doesn't recognize any form of hierarchy, but I think Musk has delusions of god-like grandeur.

Musk is always in my heart the only one who can change the world and take us into the future. He doesn't have a strong purpose of chasing money in his heart. I like this person who has ideals and realizes them. His participation in the crypto world is only for the future of all mankind. Maybe what I said is highly subjective. But I always believe that money is just a tool for him to realize his dreams, not for his own luxurious life.

Elon Musk's purchase of Twitter could possibly be the biggest mistake from a business standpoint, and this failure might threaten Elon Musk's wealth, because Elon Musk is risking his shares in other owned companies to convey Twitter transactions, according to information Elon Musk obtained funds to admit the Twitter through several sources,
$20 billion of private funds
$13 billion of collateralized loans using Twitter shares generated collateral, while $4 billion of Elon Musk's stake from Twitter.

I don't really care about Elon's purchase of Twitter, whether it will get him in big trouble or not.
Because it is an action that he has done so I think he has really thought about and planned what he will do in the future.
I was just impressed with Elon when he managed to do a hype on Doge coin so that it really had a very high price and was able to convince many investors to invest in Doge coin.

Dear Op as always Ellon is in the crypto industry for his personal benefit. We all are here for the same purpose. One thing which is most famous in his perspective is shit posting and I am not sure when he truly promoted the Bitcoin community as he did promote shitcoins. I don't expect any positive development from him. 

[ZAINmalik75]

Elon is a great personality but in my mind he has no interest in Cryptocurrency like Bitcoin he just used it for his personal interest, example of them are accepting Bitcoin for Tesla. And due to his huge wealth and famous social media personality most of invester trust him and Elon use this trust for his personal profit. No doubt some time Elon change market with just a tweet or adding Bitcoin in bio.

There is no doubt that Elon Musk is a grat business man & he has used his influence to support  crypto industry in social media through his statements and interviews (particularly he promoted Doge coin) He has also made huge investment in Bitcoin and other crypto currencies. I think it is not easy yo judge whether he did this all for the promotion of Tesla & SpaceX, but we should appreciate him for investing in cryto which is very volatile and risky industry.
However, it is important to note that statements and actions are subject to change any time. We as investor or trader, should make our own analysis and risk assessment, before taking any buying or selling decision.

[Majestic-milf]

 Let's say for now he's most bothered about the growth of his EV company, Tesla than he is any other crypto.  At present, bitcoin's price is up by 16%, so he's doing everything possible surpass that mark. According to coin telegraph , the businessman seemed to had lost a lot in Tesla but has picked up a steady pace.
 Although his interests may lie else where at present, I wouldn't be surprised if he falls to using Bitcoin as a booster for the EV company.

I heard that he is selling it again or he is looking for a new owner? So maybe you guys are right that he is struggling to operate it. Even at the start, many people are sceptical about this move. He sure is a businessman but this wasn't just his field. He is into space, rockets and cars. Not some kind of a social media lol.

It's crazy to know that Twitter is only just a social media but it is taxing him a lot of money compared to his other more serious projects. IDK if Elon still has a Bitcoin on his stash but if he still has it then he might sell it and this will badly interrupt the momentum that we are seeing now. Phew, this guy never fails to disappoint us.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWWzszskgmA

What are your thoughts about this North American appearance and what do you think he will do or say about doge or even bitcoin?
I think since Miley Cyrus is the musical guest he will have her dress up as a dog and call her doge.
She likes cats and had dressed up as them on stage during her concerts, so you never know what these two crazy people will do on this episode.

By reading your post and also my other reviews made me to some of these mixed reviews about this Elon musk Bitcoin strategy and these are described below 👇
1. ELON Musk Knows the full potential of Bitcoin and also crypto. He knows that maybe this is the Cryptocurrency that can make me Trillionare in future because if crypto potential and he can do this.
2. He allowed dogecoin because he knows that having a single transaction of 1 billion dollars will cost me only some pennies in transactions fee than transfer almost billion dollars through bank may be a big problem. 3. And also I think that he came here for its own benefits than ither like us that we are a community.

Someone who is good at seeing opportunities like Elon Musk, of course, will not waste the opportunity to achieve personal gain, Elon Musk sees that bitcoin can be an alternative to making big profits and that is why he continues to proclaim himself as a crypto lover and creates a sensation by accepting bitcoin as a tesla payments, I think what elon musk is doing is nothing but a trick to create hype that triggers an increase in the price of bitcoin so that when he feels he has made a big profit from the bitcoin he has then he will throw away bitcoin like what tesla is doing now, so is the hype which he continues to create for dogecoin and I'm pretty sure he has thrown away all the dogecoin he currently owns after making a profit.

Elon Musk is a smart person and he knows that Bitcoin has a big future so he has a big focus on the crypto currency because he doesn't want to miss the chance that he will make a huge amount of profit in the future.  Because he wants to be the richest person in the world by earning money from various places, he adopts such a strategy. For this he shilling the crypto currency at different times. And because he likes meme, he shilling dogecoin must of the time

Once he made big money out of cryptocurrency investment. His manipulation worked and the same made more positive things around the market. This time people are well known about manipulation trick and are aware of the market situation. By now nothing gonna work as people are well aware of his tactics. Being the richest on the world turned to be an influencer, entire media watches his activities which is an advantage for him.

[Vyeon11]

what elon musk is chasing is nothing but success, and that is normal for humans.
many ways to achieve success, and elon musk uses many ways to achieve success.
that's a good thing, his hardworking attitude should be emulated.
but as a human being, of course it has its drawbacks.
and our job as humans is not to see the shortcomings, what we need to observe are the strengths.

[Desmong]

Elon Musk is a business man and he knows how to play his game well. I like him for that because he had been using different avenue to make sure to he boost his business with any means possible. He opt I to the use of Bitcoin and use it to improve his business by selling large quantities of his  battery vehicles which made his company more popular than before.

He is very excited about Dogecoin because he likes  meme very much. And he has huge Dogecoin holdings.  So he repeatedly tweets about Dogecoin for shilling. If the price of Dogecoin is pumped, Elon Musk will make a lot of profit, so he always tweets about Dogecoin. And he is such a smart guy that he uses strategies to earn money from different places so that he is always on the list of the richest people in the world.

[rdbase]

Well I don't know if he has a huge holding of doge coins but he does hold some and Tesla holds the majority of his bitcoin reported thus far.
But he is onboard to bring crypto payments a reality to the biggest platform in the world according to news headlines yesterday.

[AverageGlabella]

Elon musk is a troll and he probably does not support doge coin like he says he does instead he probably is privately invested in btc and just trolls the crypto community because that is what he does with anything he is involved in. Go look at his twitter and it is mostly him trolling his fans. He is a good business man probably the best of our generation but he is starting to lose his reputation as someone who is smart and instead someone who trolls and is not a good person. His take over of Twitter changed the perspective of him I think. He probably does like cryptocurrency but he tried to manipulate the market which means most of the crypto community do not like him

I don't like some crazy things of Elon Musk. Most of the time Elon Musk does everything for his sake. But few days ago I came across one of his tweets on his twitter page and seeing that tweet I bought some Dogi coin. I bought Dogi coin from Dogi coin.  Made a lot of money. What I understand is that Elon Musk always likes mm coins a bit more.

Yes, if you bought dogecoin in the last little while and kept buying until these sort of news headlines come out about how it will be used by him and his companies then you just know they will surge in price. Only on the number of followers alone he has.
Also the venture capitalists investing on these said companies bring in heavy amount of outside investors into the fray.
So if you even held dogecoin over the past month you gain an easy 10% of your holdings which is quite a bit.

Yes he work alot some positive work for Btc. He first accept BTC for Tesla which showed to the world the real world Usecase of BTC . Crypto is not adopted by most of the world and this is the time to full in and this will give you fruit when 50% of world start holding BTC.

2. He allowed dogecoin because he knows that having a single transaction of 1 billion dollars will cost me only some pennies in transactions fee than transfer almost billion dollars through bank may be a big problem. 3. And also I think that he came here for its own benefits than ither like us that we are a community. [/b]

Dogecoin fee is obviously very low but I dear that if number of transaction increase like BTC we can also experience network slow  bug and high fee. This is also possible that he did not buy a single token and doing this job for someone else

[rdbase]

@2girls About your later statement on doge coin.
I would have to agree, we do not know how alot of transactions made on this algorithm will affect it's transaction's fee.
Also with talk of it going from proof of work to proof of stake means something is shaking up that could affect it's operation on it's network.
For better or for worse. Only time will tell.
So if they do pick a cryptocurrency to go with then it should be BTC because it is tried and tested the longest and the most resilient one of them all.

[Lokeswary]

Yes, I agree with the statement; when the concept of BTC was introduced, everyone believed Elon Musk's words and began investing in bitcoin, and now that he has recently purchased Dogecoin, it has shed some light on the entire crypto industry. We can't just assume that Elon Musk supports cryptocurrencies; in my opinion, he also established a model for advancing Tesla and SpaceX.

there is no denying the intelligence of an elon musk for business matters, it looks real and everything can move and become an option for almost all fronts. but instead I appreciate Elon Musk more for being able to enchant many of his followers to follow what has been said. so it's not surprising that a meme coin can increase high just because of the tweet, not because development is happening with that coin.
if many people are after bitcoin it is natural but doge could be an attractive investment because of elon musk, that is the advantage he has, and linking it with his other business is the Tesla electric car,...

[Ebede]

I think sometimes that this man is not in support of all the cryptocurrencies but having support to the limited cryptocurrencies and which it promotes I don't want it to dominate over Bitcoin so I will say for my own reasons and the faculty thinking that it does not really like the growth of Bitcoin but order what currency is under it promotion

When he tweeted about Dogecoin on his Twitter page.  As soon as I saw that, I invested almost all of my money in Dogecoin. Within a few days of investing, I sold them after making a huge profit. I mostly follow the tweets of big celebrities.

Not only Elon Musk, everyone has the goal of owning a lot of money, but meanwhile Elon Musk has enough sources to earn money, so he is succeeding in using this opportunity to own a huge amount of money. If you got information from elon mask tweets and invested in some coin and made huge money from it then I would say its your luck because most of people have lost huge amount of money either by seeing elon mask tweets and investing while you say you made a lot of money.  It is not bad to say that it is your great fortune

[Erumo]

Do not think it is just because of attention. His whole image is build on this

You think he does all that crazy things just be noticed and get some attention? You dont need to have billions to be noted, invest and develop. Why strain yourself so much, when you can achieve same result will less effort (if we talk just about attention).

I still support crazy theories that he is one of creator or investors of dogecoin. Why the hell then he give so much attention to it? There are lots of other mems he could use. About his wish to earn money. Businessmen is always aimed to earn more, no doubt. But I think at some point, when you have like half a billion or hundred of millions, you just stop to realize the amount of money you have. That is enough to get anything you want. So you just earn, not because you still think that few billions is not enough for you. I mean with 200kk and with 1b you still can allow yourself everything. Id say that he is not doing everything for attention, but that is the only way he knows how to express himself.

Doge coin is a joke coin and it always will be. When they convert to proof of stake they will cement that idea into peoples heads because that is one of the things it had a benefit of using. We will see dogecoin die a slow eventual death and the popularity is because of people like elon encouraging people to waste their money on a meme coin. meme coins are worthless and I cannot wait until the meme culture dies and we do not have these stupid coins.

Elon definitely is wanting the attention now.
Remember when Tom was everybody's friend on MySpace?
This reminds me of that instance being default on the platform:
https://www.theverge.com/2023/2/13/23598514/twitter-algorithm-elon-musk-tweets

Alot of his replies on each customer feed is just for seeking attention.
Highly doubt this is by mistake but by design just for today.

It wont die as long there are people specially like Elon would be keeping on hyping it out.Take a look on whenever he do take out some tweet mention about DOgecoin which its price is really rising up and we arent that blind that speaking about use case then meme coins are worthless or something not really that revolutionary.This is why there are people who doesnt really like for its existence due on being useless.
It is really just that being hyped and now it is really getting that attention and even spreading that meme coin hype thing all over around.Im not surprised considering that events like this could
really happen or becomes a trend.

So Tesla's Elon has donated $2 billion in it's own stock to charity. Yet they were to two of his own foundations so that money just gets recycled back into his wealthy empire.

He does get to write it off this tax season and no doubtedly sold some BTC from the recent 11.75% pump there was in the past couple of days.
Just so to keep recycling it into yet another one of his companies that is certainly into debt.
The birdie one or could it be dogie in the not too distant future?

Interesting news article which I had found about yesterday but didn't have time to put it up til today. Still only in beta so no time lost in it's announcement:

The most important question to be asked is Do we like Elon Musk here? If yes, then we will appreciate his tweet regardless of what he has to say because it is Elon Musk. If not, we'll probably continue to hate it. Despite all the great things he has done. In general, Musk is a visionary and a great entrepreneur who has a lot of experience and success in all fields, including philanthropy. He is the CEO of Tesla Motors, Inc and SpaceX.

[thecodebear]

Given how Musk mostly just promoted a useless meme coin to pump and dump it and always talked much more about doge that bitcoin i think he just did it for attention and so that he could manipulate markets because if one thing is clear he loves attention and loves to manipulate markets.

I'm just happy that he is an advocate for BTC and he has even said he doesn't think it will fail. So we have that going for us hahahha

He has disowned doge and his title of the doge father since then. Bitcoin, well that is still to be seen according to how much Tesla Corporation still holds.

That is debatable since everybody has their own view on the doge father. But I am to guess we can not call him that any longer since he has since separated himself with that project.
I don't think anybody really likes what he has done since his acquisition of twitter with all the media outlets showing pictures of how employees have been treated at their offices globally and the emails documented disclosed in their arguments towards the billionaire.

To be honest, I don't really like Elon but who care , even though he is the richest person, because in my opinion, Elon is a person who only thinks about his profits, doesn't think about the impact on the people who follow him.
like people who buy doge when doge is hype and until now there is no new hype for doge

Elon Musk is a poor man's idea of a friendly and quirky billionaire. "He's rich but he's just like us, he likes crypto and video games dude" people are so easily fooled.

He is a necessary evil some might say since he does own the most influential (whether you agree or not) platform on the planet.
Also with being a holder of bitcoin, can make the main goal of any financial sound method of payment being global integration in it's system.

In an increase in the state of crisis which the Twitter company is going through, run by the great Elon Musk, Meta announced today in an article published by CNN that it is considering creating a new and independent platform for sharing text updates, in what could represent the new, more powerful competitor that the Twitter platform may face. The article also mentioned that the new platform that Meta will create can benefit from the existing large user base of the company's other platforms (Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger), including two billion people who use Facebook daily.

Twitter could have a new rival — a platform created by Meta

“We believe there’s an opportunity for a separate space where creators and public figures can share timely updates about their interests,” a Meta spokesperson said in a statement to CNN, which essentially described Twitter’s mission statement without naming the platform.

[rdbase]

^^
Twitter having a rival competitor is certainly surprising to read about and it being facebook or meta after it's rebranding is sort of a shock since they could of had done it when Elon Musk took over several months ago.
Because at this point he is just getting a foot hold of how he wants the company to operate and has already settled into his role as CEO.

[rdbase]

This CEO of Twitter, SpaceX, Tesla & The Boring company seems to always be in the news and it is usually controversial.
He has grew the ire of the U.S government administration because this is where all of his companies reside and him taking a selfie with a russian state-controlled TV personality.
Which in itself is very controversial with a current war happening and him being an American business man posting the encounter on her tik-tok.

[Pierre 2]

I think he has too much influence to begin with (as an individual). He owns company that sells the most EVs probably globally. He owns the most influential website (Twitter) for sure and his name "Elon Musk" became a brand. So when he promotes crypto, Doge, Bitcoin or anything other. We must embrace it. Elon Musk is a whale that people should have good relations. If not he can go other way and damage reputation of anything he dislikes. I hope he will keep loving and supporting crypto. I guess he sees crypto as innovation so probably likes its existence.

[Outhue]

It's all business, Elon Musk is smart and a smart rich man who is out of cryptocurrency don't know what he is doing, another rich figure that's into crypto is Kiyosaki, Elon already is a popular figure and he careful choose Doge coin for some reason, if you look at things carefully Doge coin is still better than many altcoins in crypto space.

The case of John McAfee was different, Elon won't end up like McAfee because I was present when McAfee was shilling useless tokens, resulting in big losses and a few of the shitcoins exits scam, this is one of the reasons why SEC was after McAfee before he died.

McAfee and Musk are complete polar opposites in my point of view.
John was a recluse and ran to another country when he didn't want to pay taxes and the government was hunting him down for it.
While Elon is outgoing as you can see in the above photo at the World Cup in the so called Owner's box of the event and is completely transparent in his business affairs.
Which does pose a threat to the United States national security as the Biden administration is condemning him for now with this selfie post by a foreign propagandistic iinfluencer of the russian type persuasion.

There was an Oscar winner in this years Academy awards which puts a spotlight on such people in the media but in this case they were against the empire.

[tjtonmoy]

The whole crypto industry exists on people's belief. If no one shows any interest on any kind of crypto then it's doomed. But it's not a bad thing by any means. People do trust crypto today and will continue to do so in the coming future. But when in comes to following one person to trust the whole system is kind of foolish from my POV.
And on a recent tweet of Elon, he said and I quote “I used to be in crypto, but now I got interested in AI"

I don't know if he is still going to support crypto like he did before.

[rdbase]

^^ Right @ tjtonmoy  

Elon has lost interest in cryptocurrency and his new fascination is in artificial intelligence.

"Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, has been a prominent figure in the world of cryptocurrency, especially Dogecoin. According to  recent tweets, it appears that he may have lost enthusiasm for the meme-inspired cryptocurrency, as he has expressed a newfound interest in AI.
Given Musk’s current fascination with AI, it’s possible that he could have an interest in RenQ Finance, as the platform is designed to be AI-friendly. This means that it can integrate AI technologies to enhance it's services and improve the user experience.
However, this shift in interest has caused concern among DOGE investors regarding the future of their investments. In this article, we will delve into the recent developments surrounding Elon Musk and Dogecoin, as well as provide insights on Cardano (ADA) price predictions. Additionally, we will examine how RenQ Finance is poised to lead defi space in 2023.

Elon Musk and Dogecoin (DOGE)
Musk’s tweets have historically had a substantial impact on the price of Dogecoin. However, his recent social media activity suggests a waning interest in cryptocurrency. On March 3, 2023, Musk tweeted, “I used to be in crypto, but now I got interested in AI." Additionally, in the previous month, the tech mogul warned of AI being one of the most significant threats to the future of humanity. Back in July 2020, Musk predicted that AI would be ‘vastly smarter’ than humans and would surpass us by 2025.

These remarks have contributed to a significant decline in the price of DOGE. As of March 20, 2023, the cryptocurrency’s value had decreased by approximately 4.30% over the last 24 hours, trading at $0.07, with a market capitalization of roughly $9 billion."

Elon Musk says Twitter is now worth less than half of the $44 billion paid less than 7 months ago.

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/mar/26/elon-musk-twitter-value-leaked-memo-less-than-half-paid

Atleast he had a good time at being The Big Boss of the Socials and seemed to have fun at trolling everybody he had any sort of contempt towards while doing it.
So probably worth the over $20+billion he overpaid after all is said and done, for this richest man of the world.

[rdbase]

He tweets about dogecoin and it surges in price, common knowledge about the twitter CEO and his infamous tweets about anything to do with crypto.
But did you know he has a dogecoin programmer who works at twitter and he frequently mentions about the coin on the platform?
There is even a picture of the doge coder in the latest tweet last week about it:

https://u.today/doge-price-up-4-as-elon-musk-mentions-dogecoin-in-provocative-tweet

[danherbias07]

@rdbase It looks to me like it was just scripted. Either to pump Dogecoin or just to remind people that he owns Twitter because I think they are forgetting it with all the new apps coming out that are way better than it. IMO, buying Twitter was a failed experiment but if that is where his fun is coming from then who are we to stop it?  

He may have pumped the price of Dogecoin after that tweet but it was never long-term. Either investors are starting to see what is really happening or they are just sick about all these pumps and dumps whenever his name is glued into one cryptocurrency, there's no stability, and they may have been losing a lot of money whenever he tries to get out without any warning at all.

He should just go back to where he is good at and if AI is his target now then he should just focus on it. Maybe it will make some profits that would patch the losses from his Twitter investment.

But I don't think he is done with crypto yet.
Like this guy who had been dissecting his tweets using gematria. (the substitution of numbers for letters of the Hebrew alphabet)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZQ0x0ERWz8
First, was the spongebob meme with a "neenah" code.  = Dogelon Mars
Then, this popular Ben Affleck matrix with "prettycooltime" encoded in it. = Dogelon to the Mars.

Assuming this dude is right, he is secretly sending messages to investors about what to buy.

[rdbase]

An interesting find @danherbias07 so thanks for bringing this with the coding words into his meme posts into focus for us.
But if pumping the price of any altcoin and the influencer is aware of this form their followers, then isn't this manipulating the market for that one altcoin?
He was alright in court once for such claims when it came to his other company's stock and telling investors to sell then dumping the stock.

Twitter changes their logo from the original blue bird to a dog meme that is alot like the shiba inu Dogecoin about an hour ago.

https://twitter.com/unusual_whales/status/1642946144815943683

Causing the coin to spike about 19.5% since it happened.

Elon even responds to this happening with a rather entertaining suggestion about dogecoin:

[Casdinyard]

Elon has been a big meme guy so it doesn't come as a surprise that between bitcoin and Dogecoin, the guy will pick the latter. Although honestly speaking, I don't think he's doing all of this in an attempt to realizing uis philantrophistic worldviews and make the world a better place by making everybody onboard the crypto train rich, I have a hunch that he's doing tuis for personal gain to maybe artificially pump his DOGE reserves and make Tesla's value appreciate once again just like what it did in the past or perhaps something along those lines. After consistently shooting himself in the foot countless times, it's just getting harder and harder to trust the guy.

When you are a billionaire then whatever things comes into your mind then you would definitely do it.It is really just that the masses do really give out importance on whatever this identity would be doing.

Criticism isnt something new or shocking thing on which whenever you do there's always some con's or negative would be thrown or there would be those people who would really be doubting you.

We dont know on whats up on Elons head whether he do all of these things to boost up and make some marketing on his Tesla, SpaceX or whatsoever in connection with his companies
but we arent that blind on how these companies been doing in terms of popularity and significance.

[oktana]

I see Musk as a strategist. He only works with something that will be beneficial to him. It's quite uncertain to me whether Musk's public show of interest in cryptocurrencies was/is purely to boost Tesla's value cause now he claims he is interested in AI. In my opinion, it’s still facts that Elon had to do what he did with crypto cause he found it beneficial for him. Also, considering his announcement in 2021 when he chose to drop Bitcoin as a payment option we could see the impact it had on Bitcoin. He may not necessarily be promoting Bitcoin cause he wants to live through that, he only uses things for the benefits and jumps onto the next just as he’s about to do with AI

[rdbase]

^^
He certainly is a strategist especially with what had just happened on the platform with just going and changing the original logo which was it's staple and everybody knew it for:

With just saying "As promised!"
https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1642976364080041984

He will most certainly put this attention in his favor and since his other company Tesla holds BTC you can count he will change it up at a later date to focus on the king of all cryptocurrencies.
This is just an inroad.

Well, the problem with benefiting from Bitcoin, the benefits is continues, even if he is just using Bitcoin or cryptocurrency that is if he still has Bitcoin in his wallet his money will surely continue to grow at an exponential rate, right now bitcoin is at the peak price right now as I am posting this the currency value of Bitcoin is at $28,228.42 USD but if he saw no potential for bitcoin at all he will surely drop all conversation and not speak of another cryptocurrency again, I think even though he is promoting AI bitcoin can still go hand in hand with AI as well, because bitcoin is not only bound with 1 aspect but is currently innovating in everything it encounters,

Twitter is just weird and it became even weirder if Elon Musk owns it now, and apparently, I am not getting used to seeing a Twitter logo be DOGE well this goes to show the power of Elon Musk he can do partially anything, surely this will not age and it now becomes a new meme in social media currently Elon Musk can now start his own NASA because of that wealth he has right now, and while funding AI and because his tesla cars is really that famous right now and surely it got that complicated AI stuff in it just to drive the car automatically he can surely do an AI just like in the Iron Man movies, well I could be wrong because he might have his own right now but I have seen some new that Elon wants to pause AI here is the LINK While Bill Gates rejects in pausing AI because it is impractical here is the LINK to the news,

[kelechi]

Still see Elon Musk as a strategist after he trashed the company's logo and the For You timeline and starting arbitrarily revoking people's legacy verified badges?

Because if his goal was to drive advertising revenue away from Twitter, he's doing a really great job at it so far.

he can surely do an AI just like in the Iron Man movies

Yeah, with 1000 employees. Stark pulled it off by himself.

I never expected anything less from a man like Musk, many people are saying he can't manage Twitter and some are saying he had lost a lot since he took over Twitter, where are you guys now? I knew this man is up to something, a single Tweet about Dogecoin yesterday the whole market get into good shape again, I thought the Hype was gone as many said, Dogecoin and Shiba inu will still surprise a lot of people in 2024, but I have a good feeling about this. Elon is coming with the least surprise anyone could ever think about. This move benefits Bitcoin and even Ethereum, if think I am wrong? then you must be blind.

Indeed, he is a smart businessman and won't do anything without purpose & with millions of followers on twitter, he can influence the market to great extent for his benefit. We have witnessed huge market reaction after his tweets about crypto. His involvement in crypto industry has added value to this industry as well as created interest of general public in crypto because he is generally regarded as a successful entrepreneur.

I see it a bit funny when people are a bit skeptical of Musk in leading Twitter, like come on he is a CEO who has successfully built several large global companies, he is not a teenager who has just led a company, he has experience even since the fall of x.com. So I think that what Musk is doing now will definitely have a positive impact on himself and his business and globally.

I think this shows how Musk always have a significant influence on cryptocurrencies. Remember when he announced that Tesla will accept cryptocurrency as payment and then the price of Bitcoin rise up? Then when he announced that Tesla would no longer accept Bitcoin as payment, citing concerns about the environmental impact of Bitcoin mining, the price of bitcoin dropped and a wider discussion about the energy consumption of cryptocurrencies became controversial across the world. It seems like whatever he does, his statements and actions have the power to shape public perception towards crypto. People made him so relevant.

Did he do that before or after his statement about sharing advertising revenue with creators on twitter?

During twitter spaces today there was discussion about bitcoin and it being open source is a good thing for progression:
"You can literally see the code for yourself. #Bitcoin is open source. Open-source is good, it contributes to the robustness and making sure there are no exploits in the #bitcoin system."

The departure of doge as the symbol of the platform ended earlier today:

And the dump began immediately there after:
https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2023/04/06/dogecoin-drops-after-elon-musks-twitter-stops-using-its-logo
Almost back to where it was before the sudden surge due to his "influence" on this memecoin taking over the former logo for a 48 hour period.
https://gizmodo.com/twitter-removes-doge-icon-dogecoin-price-falls-1850311581

I believe his legal team advised against having up for too long since he it got him in legal issues because of it's use in the altcoin markets causing a pump and dump.
Which this did make it look out to be.
Or simply,,
He just got bored of it and moved on like his SpaceX launch of the newly toted Starship:

Elon Musk is a businessman and will make decisions that are in the best interests of his company. I believe Elon is very interested in cryptocurrencies and has stated on several occasions that he wishes he had done so earlier. Elon is also very influential in the cryptocurrency community, on one occasion, he joked about giving his mother a Dodge coin, and that joke had a significant positive impact on the market. Many people also have faith in Him and follow His every word. Investing statements should be made carefully, and all of this might be a corporate tactic to help Tesla or SpaceX all is part of the business.

Many see this as a stepping stone going forward with any advancement twitter has instore for cryptocurrenies crossing over into the mainstream media space.

One of the thing that made me to like Elon musk is that he knows how to paly his game very well. He uses I fluence as a billionaire and cryptocurrency to advertise his ambition and product. I know there are some persons who do not like him a lot but he is a wise man that knows how to get what he want at the appropriate time.
 Although the way he uses cryptocurrency to advertise his product was very annoying but not withstanding, it does not concern us at all since we have our own research to make about any cryptocurrency coin we want to invest in.

Yes Bushdark, he certainly does know how to play the game of billionaire corporation owner to a tee.
That is why he has several of them that are currently running and successful projects and ventures.

I like him as a person,but I don't like his fans because they make up more excuses than they really are. Because of one tweet from Elon, fans run to look for hidden meanings in his message, it looks strange.From the last one,when the new logo was added to Twitter, there was a predictable pump and the fans, of course, praised Musk for such a decision, but as soon as the logo was removed, the hamsters did not understand what happened)

So looks like the delay launch might have possibly been intentional so to coincide with the commemorative date of doge day.

"This year's celebration might be extra special as SpaceX is targeting a 4/20 test flight of Starship, SpaceX's most powerful rocket ever created, capable of carrying cargo and humans to Mars. Starship was expected to make its first liftoff on April 17; however, Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX, tweeted about a pressurant valve that appeared to be frozen in the booster stage, thus delaying the launch. SpaceX afterward tweeted that the teams were working toward Thursday, April 20, for the first flight test of a fully integrated Starship and super heavy rocket."

Elon Musk is basically what we describe as an ICON in both our today's economy and also a whale in crypto space. He's keen on developing his Space X and boost his Tesla car model. He's too smart and probably got everything under control, investing in a lot and gaining alot from his set of investment, undoubtedly he have forseen the future and trying to be close to been in possession of what controls the world. Twitter is already in his possession, CEO of Dogecoin which he triggered the pump option for the project whenever he make tweets about it. Elon Musk is world richest man and have the power to overtake any opposition, He's always one step ahead.

Like I always say, Elon is a business and will act in his own best interests. When it comes to Dogde, after investing, he will want to receive a sizable return on his money. Another quality I admire in Elon is his ability to develop novel ideas that offer solutions to many global issues, such as Tesla's ability to reduce carbon emissions from other fossil fuel vehicles and his status as an influential figure, which benefits Dodge's bottom line. And everyone will do the same if we are to be in elon shoes.

Many have said this was a failure for SpaceX today as there were three raptor rockets that didn't fire once in flight and it didn't disengage the thrusters like it was sposse to so it could turn around and re-dock upon touchdown.
Put many have not seen this as it was intended in the first place -
As a test flight
So it was a procedure so to gather data for the next iteration of the StarShip voyage in a few months from now.

But it being Doge day, no Doges were harmed in this testing procedure completed today.

Here is what Elon had said after the rocket's launch from youtube channel Alpha Tech:

In any case, continuously energizing to see people are enthusiastic and educated about digital currency spreading mindfulness about it to a more extensive crowd.

I agree, Elon Musk has been a significant inferencer in the crypto currency space, in particular his public support for Bitcoin and  Dogecoin on social platforms, his massive followings on socials media greatly influences crypto market whenever he tweets any crypto related content.
As a renowned entrepreneur and his innovative work for advancement of space and IT technology  contribution are immense. Given his involvement in crytpo is very positive sign for overall progress and its adoption on global level.

He is one of the few richest people in the world. Who has been in cryptocurrency for a long time. His different behavior at different times has raised various questions. Naturally, his achievements in business life are many and therefore he must possess superior knowledge. While many of us consider it as negatively at the same time there will have positives in its cryptocurrency. He does marketing of his products in various ways. However, it cannot be said that he has always been successful. In my opinion he must be a crypto enthusiast. Also, if he uses crypto for his other company contacts, that is his personal matter. There was a lot of concern recently over Twitter's temporary use of its Doge Coin logo, but many considered it was a business policy.

One of the thing that made me to like Elon musk is that he knows how to paly his game very well. He uses I fluence as a billionaire and cryptocurrency to advertise his ambition and product. I know there are some persons who do not like him a lot but he is a wise man that knows how to get what he want at the appropriate time.
 Although the way he uses cryptocurrency to advertise his product was very annoying but not withstanding, it does not concern us at all since we have our own research to make about any cryptocurrency coin we want to invest in.

Elon Musk is the world's richest man, and his involvement in cryptocurrencies has strengthened the majority of the altcoins accessible in the market. In his position as Dogecoin CEO, he is capable of accomplishing wondersz by making things work for his personal best interests, tweeting about initiatives that will benefit from his vast reach, and ensuring that he maintains accurate and smooth business outside of crypto. Tesla is keeping good track on investment development; there is nothing he hasn't touched that hasn't progressed. He is the man whom everyone wishes they could be, always one step ahead of everyone in cryptocurrencies and business.

In his position as Dogecoin CEO
are you sure ?

Musk had stepped down as The Doge Father months ago.
Before he took a more serious business minded role as CEO of twitter.
You remember not CEO but Head Twit as he had put it awhile ago.

If you a business man and you don't possess  the quality of knowing  how to play your game then you will start running  out of business, in some way business men are also politicians and will always do anything  in their favor, any time he makes any statement  he uses it as an advantage  to either  dump to buy or pump to profit, i still don't blame him like i said that is how all business  men behave they will do anything  that will be in there favor. Even when they added a different form of payment to Tesla, which was eventually suspended, everything was done as part of a business plan.

He is one of the few richest people in the world. Who has been in cryptocurrency for a long time..

This is very true since he is one of the richest and is relatively young in the majority of this category. So has been exposed to cryptocurrency while acquiring his richest and thus had put part of his wealth into bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies since being introduced to it at the age of 36.

He is continuing to be in the public eye with his current interest in technology of engines. Whether that be on the ground or off of it with SpaceX.

I like him as a person,but I don't like his fans because they make up more excuses than they really are. Because of one tweet from Elon, fans run to look for hidden meanings in his message, it looks strange.From the last one,when the new logo was added to Twitter, there was a predictable pump and the fans, of course, praised Musk for such a decision, but as soon as the logo was removed, the hamsters did not understand what happened)

Those are Elon's die-hard fans who are always rooting for the much-praised Doge coin and interestingly, they are not seeing any bad traits of Elon Musk because even his shenanigans are viewed positively by his supporters saying that he got some reasons for doing that and that actually surprises me every single time.

I personally know someone that always talks about Dogecoin that someday it will explode with Elon's help, even though it's clear that Elon is just messing with them and taking advantage of the situation for his own benefit.

This is also very true since he is staying relevant in the current times with getting right into mainstream and if his technology research team is on the ball with their iteration of AI to rival chaptgpt than I can see it happening even sooner. Just like the technology has been within the past four months since the beginning of the year.

Yeah, it's not that simple. I have respect for Elon (Which you don't have, I guess since you type his name in lower case), but he's not that influential. Yeah, he pumped Doge, but it dumped after that and almost no one cares about it since. And this was the biggest thing he's done for crypto yet.

Saw a strange tweet by Mister Twitter yesterday along the lines of "There is no meme" with a picture profile PFP of a wide eyed anime character.

Had the token price surge over 5000% as of the time of this post. Which was released on May 9th.
Hadn't heard of this token before and just found out they were based on the NFT movement after the media outlets had caught on to the story of this recent surge in price of the latest meme coin phenomenon.

Not too sure if this new token is connected to another project of a similar name.

Elon Musk on Twitter: "Excited to announce that I’ve hired a new CEO for X/Twitter. She will be starting in ~6 weeks! My role will transition to being exec chair &amp; CTO, overseeing product, software &amp; sysops."

So he is handing over the daily tasks over to an unnamed individual so far.

it could be that what you say can indeed come true about coin doge who is always dependent on an elon musk, usually they can develop themselves in the way they do not just from someone who has a high reputation to be able to provide encouragement so that coin doge can increase. but that is the fact that until now about the existence of coin doge. Indeed, Elon Musk always brings fresh air to Coin Doge, but if the market situation is not good, Elon Musk still cannot push Coin Doge to increase. because Elon Musk only relies on tweets and doesn't invest heavily in coin doge, maybe it would be a different story if that was done too.

20 years ago today Tesla emerged and has become the largest EV car manufacturer globally.
But Elon Musk didn't start investing in Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning company Tesla Motors until 2004 with a $6.5mln investment then with being the majority shareholder became CEO in 2008.

There has been good improvements made since the very first Tesla rolled off the assembly line.

All the things we could do now is to speculate and assumptive that it might happen or not. It is really not that simple or easy to guess on what are those Elon plans about on twitter.
If ever we do hear out rumors then better not that mind much because we might be seeing other thing instead which would bring out that disappointment instead.

I think Elon Musk can fit in both worlds because we know that Elon is popular in both topics, whether it is crypto or tech company, While Tesla and SpaceX are just a part of Elon Musk's Bigger real-world empire of technologically advance businesses because of that IMO, Elon can be fit anywhere because of his popularity. he is capable to hype anything and put the topic on the mainstream that was the power of popularity and money and Elon Musk has possessed both.

Yeah, I believe Elon is for crypto for both aforementioned reasons. 
He is the biggest tech millionaire right now,  all his companies are tech companies that focus on technological innovation in specific areas so it would be a surprise if a person like that who is relatively young is against crypto. 
Also, Elon is a billionaire,  these guys don't do anything like this that is not a calculated move.  The way I see it,  it's a win-win situation for him.  He has become very popular in the crypto community and that also puts his companies in the spotlight too. 

I believe Elon Musk is going to be at the top for a very long time because he understands the market and trends and knows exactly how to be dynamic to fit in perfectly and remain at the top.

Elon Musk always manages to be on the agenda with his many moves. The whole world sees his connection to crypto and what he is doing. He never gives up on crypto and continues to be interested in crypto. Because technology is what makes him a billionaire. Bitcoin is the most valuable product of the technological age. We cannot separate these two.

I'm not sure he did what he did just to strengthen his own companies. But I know Elon loves crypto. I just don't think it looks like he likes crypto for his companies.

[Z390]

I'm not here to defend Elon Musk but all I can say is this man is already successful man and Tesla company is doing so fine even before he almost start talking about Doge coin so we can't say that it is because of crypto that makes Tesla and SpaceX a successful.

Elon Musk is a very smart man right from day one and whatever he get is hand on always work successfully that is why I keep laughing at those that believe that he failed acquiring Twitter platform I believe that he have a perfect plan for Twitter and that social network is going to be one of the best place for people to market their products online and still have fun chatting with friends and family because I Believe Elon musk is going to implement crypto payment very soon probably after bitcoin halving or the next bull market.

This will shocked the whole world and it will also bring in more money into crypto, Doge coin will become great again, even if every person that prefers Bitcoin hates Doge coin.

the advantage of being a big businessman [billionaire] that he has, coupled with his activeness on social media, has made him always the center of attention in every move he makes. no wonder when he started maneuvering for coin doge it has made doge increase in price even though doge is just a meme ooin. his interest in crypto is greater because he really wants to be able to give impetus to his main business [tesla, spaceX] so that it can be recognized and there is ease in getting the injection of funds that might be needed. I doubt that he really wants to master crypto where in the past he bought Twitter instead of adopting or taking over Doge, but he is indeed very difficult to predict what will be done later. it is possible that he will do something about crypto in the future.

Maybe I'm missing something, I mean, for sure I'm missing something because I keep not understanding why Musk is accepting Dogecoin over bitcoin. Dogecoin is nice if you want to tip someone online, but accepting it as a payment for something very expensive like a car? Unless the plan is to hype it up, as usual, and then sell everything. Same old story but people keep following any weird message from this guy...

Personally, I thought the exact opposite, because Elon Musk had in a previous period sold all his bitcoin savings to complete the Twitter purchase deal, and it would be better for him to continue accepting bitcoin payments for the sale of Tesla cars.
I think there are two possible explanations for this action:
- Elon Musk still owns a significant amount of Dodge Coin and seeks to raise its price as much as possible before selling it. This may be a result of the period when he began posting tweets supporting Dodge, only to find himself involved in a large amount of money after its price fell.
- Maintaining his supportive position for Dodge Coin so as not to appear manipulative.

He's an unpredictable person. Now the competence from threads would've been a major blow, soon we can see him on the cryptocurrency market. Initially he came for his products and not for bitcoin. Once again this can happen during these days. In between he supported dogecoin and manipulated the growth. Thats a big favour from him to the dogecoin holders.

So let's say that either way is probably just a temporary position. the final goal is always dumping all the coins. And to be honest it couldn't be otherwise, there is not a single reason to keep accumulating Doge. I understand he's so rich that probably he doesn't even know how much money he has but at the end of the day he's a business man (among many other things) so I don't think he likes losing money.

We used to have a hard time understanding this man's moves and schemes. And if his plans at the beginning of his career were crazy enough to achieve great successes for him, his current position does not provide good indicators at all levels: Twitter is a losing company that he bought for a ridiculous amount, SpaceX will not achieve profits before other years, Tesla suffers from multiple crises, the most important of which is the problem of producing batteries that could threaten the entire industry. All this and many still trust his investment decisions and believe that he is the wisest man.

Elon musk has an entrepreneurial mindset and that's why he could confidently invest in all these projects ignoring the fear of unknown. I like his courage really, and no matter how you want to put it, he can never be broke even if all these companies fail.
He is one that has always believed in cryptocurrency and has some BTC, Eth and Doge coins in a wallet tucked away somewhere.
In 2021 when Tesla purchased some BTC, it could be likened to a whale move and it effected a price hike to about 25% which recorded an ATH of $48,000 as at then. Although, it was because it announced it was accepting BTC payment for  new purchase of Tesla vehicles with as low as $100 deposit.

When Tesla stopped accepting payments with BTC, the interest rate however dropped to 10%, this just goes to show you that despite the attention, a whale is a whale, and Elon and his Tesla and SpaceX are big whales in the cryptocurrencies ocean.

“bid adieu to the twitter brand and, gradually, all the birds.”

I am curious about the "all the birds"? What could he mean by that?

There's also a report that says the tweets will not be called tweets anymore because of the rebranding. I think they are still thinking about a new way to call all those posts and reposts. It will be a difficult change for other people who uses this service, but I think it will be good for the business overall.

Saw this news a while ago. I must say this is one of the most stupid things he has ever did so far as a belligerent CEO of multiple companies, and he's already one of the most deranged ones out there. Twitter is a multi-billion dollar brand that people painstakingly worked hard for since 2009. Not the mention the amount of acclaim and promotion that it has received over the years. To rebrand twitter for no reason besides "continuity" as all his companies had "X" in their names is just stupid and is going to cost him a lot of money in the long run. He's already bleeding cash in Twitter, and he's seeing a worthy competitor in Threads, instead of aggressively selling the benefits of Twitter over their competitor he chooses to change the brand and all that. Good luck.

He is trying to build something that is combination of all things and maybe crypto could be at the center of it, like as a payment thing. The reason why he changed the name of twitter to X is the same reason. He is not secretly doing this neither, he is actually openly talking about how he wants to build one thing to hold all the things he has and twitter was the start of building that thing. One day when he has what he wants, he wants to be beyond government entity, someone who is not really in one nation like he is in the USA right now, but someone who holds enough power and information that he wants to be beyond ruling. Crypto could be a good way into that probably.

mainly YES.
remember that he is one of the founders of Paypal. Maybe he has not all the rights on the name twitter.
He has previously proven that he is able to start from scratch.

[rdbase]

I think he got plan for crypto twitter proves it

Well he has already has a license agreement pending for cryptopayments with filing an LLC.
As well with the twitter coin sent out to users as beta testers awhile ago as shown with the screen below by Tree of Alpha:


So you know there will be a cryptopayment system put in place just don't know what route he will go with.
Create an X coin instead of using an already existing cryptocurrency?

It was called X.com - https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-rebrand-paypall-x-sounded-like-porn-site-twitter-2023-7
He bought the domain back in 2017 so he had a plan setup for it put in place.

Yes he wouldn't do a drastic rebrand unless he had something big up his sleeve. And the Doge maxis will no longer get the Elon bumps they used to get as he's now moved onto his own crypto.

I'm a bit skeptical about using a decentralized currency like Bitcoin where it would make everything very difficult for them, I rather think they will keep everything centralized so they have more control.  Ultimately he is crazy because he makes drastic changes but I doubt that he is so strongly crazy to bet on Bitcoin because what advantage would he get?

[jeraldskie11]

In my opinion, Elon is taking advantage of his popularity since a lot of people watching him. Whatever he do and suggests, people will follow because they believe Elon. Elon is a smart person, and he knows what he is doing. Just like what happened in doge last 2021, the price has exploded because of him. He invested before the price of doge exploded and I'm sure he profited a lot. Because of that, it benefit both of his project and in the community of crypto. In other words, "two birds in one stone".

True. He can actually manipulate the market on however he prefer. Either with his money or with his reputation. It's a cool thing but could be dangerous when abused. IMO, he took advantage of his position and now making more profits because of it. He has so many followers that they would also invest on where he will go.
News came out about the X company in San Francisco.
https://www.cnbc.com/2023/07/31/elon-musks-x-corp-seen-removing-giant-glowing-sign-in-san-francisco-.html?qsearchterm=elon%20musk

Talking about reputation. Despite that, there are still people who will be up against him especially if it's wrong.

Twenty-four complaints have been initiated with San Francisco’s Department of Building Inspections, a spokesman said. Those filing the complaints said the sign was put up without a permit, is unsafe, and is a nuisance. One said that its flashing lights made it hard for residents to sleep.

Let them sleep Elon.

Here is Musk's response.

“San Francisco, beautiful San Francisco, though others forsake you, we will always be your friend,” Musk posted on X.

I am still waiting if Musk will try to inject cryptocurrencies in his new X company (formerly Twitter). It could boost the market of the industry if done right. They say the number of users went down because of the subscription payment but I do believe it's still a good platform for advertising business.

I whole heartly agree with you there @jeraldskie11

With this battle between the tech giants they have everybody's attention and the world is watching.

If you two are not going to fight.. might just be better to hug it out!

https://twitter.com/ElonMuskAOC/status/1691173592904667139

On a serious note, why not fight for a prize of bitcoin or in Elon's case a bag of Doge.

[rdbase]

The bitcoin market really dumped alot since even when FTX was dragging it down when it's dirty business dealings got revealed.
This is what everybody is saying is the cause of the recent price spike to the downward spiral:
https://www.wsj.com/tech/behind-the-curtain-of-elon-musks-secretive-spacex-revenue-growth-and-rising-costs-2c828e2b

The very last paragraph where it states that SpaceX had sold it's bitcoin they had reported on their balance sheet a year ago is no longer holding it.
This shouldn't matter but it seems to have rocked all of the cryptocurrency markets for one reason or another.

[cheezcarls]

In my honest opinion, I do not think he is really meant to be in this space. Although it's just a rumor that SpaceX has sold of their Bitcoins (but Evergrande is the main possible catalyst), I honestly think he is just only for attention.

We do appreciate the time that he hyped Bitcoin and made it to almost $70k thanks to his all-out support in DOGE. But I think he's not really meant to be in this space but we can't stop him from making decisions on his own like buying BTC at the dip and selling it high.

He not only hyped up bitcoin for his own purposes but is known to do this for anything he is trying to garner attention too.
Especially toward his companies SpaceX/Tesla/Twitter now all under one company name X.

I think celebrities like Elon play a key role in the spread of crypto. We all know how much advertising money is paid to promote something in the world. I won't go into the benefits of advertising at length here. Elon is promoting Bitcoin. Elon is buying and selling Bitcoin. All of this is good for Bitcoin. Nobody is telling us to buy Bitcoin high and sell it low.

As a result, advertising is useful and important for mass dissemination.

[rdbase]

Here is an advertisement from the language on the banner could be in China on a BTC atm of Elon and his favorite coin, Doge.

source: https://mashable.com/article/tesla-bitcoin-dogecoin

But it is speculated he had sold most of one or all of his companies bitcoins in recent months.
One can only take a guess at this point in time as his X platform is wanting to come up with a payment system of their own.
But which cryptocurrency will they eventually choose?
Could be they will end up doing what paypal has done and come up with their own stablecoin and use this instead.

Elon was quoted in social media that says the most entertaining outcome is the most likely and he also continued with as seen from an external observer, not the participants.

We cannot be quite certain what he was telling everyone by saying this, however, it might imply something about Dogecoin. It would be very head scratching if he can make this joke pump to be in top 5 of the cryptospace.

[fruktik]

Elon musk has an entrepreneurial mindset and that's why he could confidently invest in all these projects ignoring the fear of unknown. I like his courage really, and no matter how you want to put it, he can never be broke even if all these companies fail.
He is one that has always believed in cryptocurrency and has some BTC, Eth and Doge coins in a wallet tucked away somewhere.
In 2021 when Tesla purchased some BTC, it could be likened to a whale move and it effected a price hike to about 25% which recorded an ATH of $48,000 as at then. Although, it was because it announced it was accepting BTC payment for  new purchase of Tesla vehicles with as low as $100 deposit.

When Tesla stopped accepting payments with BTC, the interest rate however dropped to 10%, this just goes to show you that despite the attention, a whale is a whale, and Elon and his Tesla and SpaceX are big whales in the cryptocurrencies ocean.

You have an interesting position in relation to Ilona. It may be true about entrepreneurship, but this world can be incredibly harsh. Force majeure circumstances can happen to this person at any time. What to do then? Who will run all these companies? After all, not all of his relatives have a predisposition to this. What will happen to all this finance? It seems to me that not everything is as clear as you write.

Yes, Musk has crypto in his accounts, but he is not going to keep it forever. The right moment will come for him and he will throw everything off. The market will, of course, react to such an event, but then everything will return to its previous course. This has happened more than once. Therefore, there is no point in believing in him like that. Everything has some measure.

[Nwada001]

All I could say about Elon Musk is that he is a businessman and all he cares about is how he can make profit, what can he do to make those profits, and all of that. Elon's strong support for Shit coins is that he can have a very strong holding of those shit coins, Dogecoin to be precise. From the beginning, when he started promoting Dogecoin, the price pumped beyond people's expectations, and profit was really made out of it for those who were holding large amounts of it.

So his recent actions towards selling all their bitcoin holdings and not selling out any of their Dogecoin can also be seen as another means of telling the world that they are still with Dogecoin and its remains. If he can succeed with his plan, then he can be sure of taking out some huge profit again anytime soon if the Doge price pumps up a bit, and a few millions, if not billions, will be added to his net worth.

[bbc.reporter]

@Nwada001. Similar to what I have said yesterday, everything about dogecoin might begin in X. Elon appears to have a bigger agenda for dogecoin in his ecosystem of businesses.

This speculation will be confirmed if the dogecoin development team agrees to the proposal to switch from proof of work to proof of stake.

You got fantastic point. Actually i also not sure about Elon Musk thinking. I think Both are thinking Elon Musk. We saw many times Elon Musk Twitted about Doge coin and within short time Bitcoin price moves huge. So then doge coin price up.? And we know Elon Musk is a successful business man. So he can think different things. I think bow he love cryptocurrency very much. And he was bought big amount of Bitcoin  in 2021 But recently he was sold all coin for urgent need. Although we see Elon Musk bough Twitter so he will use it for advertise it is normal. Elon musk is for crypto for attention to boost Tesla, SpaceX.

[Obari]

I didn't notice the news but the truth is that Elon has already created alot of name around himself and with that been, we all know he owns tesla and if diving into cryptocurrency will help boost his name and business then I don't see any reasons to fight that.
On the other  hand, I've seen musk as a very funny guy and it I've always enjoyed his contents and I was considering  following his crypto speculations but I didn't because there was no finance and I didn't because he was never serious and the next second you might just see the coin he favour just dumping and there is absolutely  nothing anyone can do about it.

I think Elon  is in to make profits and since his a business  man, he already has the best strategy for him to promote tesla and still make profit.

Since X has implemented content creator ad revenue sharing last month it was inevitable they were going to need a payment structure for how they were going to pay those users.
https://techcrunch.com/2023/07/13/twitter-starts-sharing-ad-revenue-with-verified-creators

So the obvious choice was going to be cryptocurrency payments with the simplicity of dealing with multiple transactions all at once.

"Notably, Rhode Island approved a requested license by Twitter Payments LLC — X’s payment branch — on August 28, according to data from NMLS. The “Currency Transmitter” license also includes different crypto-related service providers, such as crypto exchanges, wallets, and payment processors."

That set of factors is unique."

After Elon Musk's biography was released earlier this week it was found he had secretly been funding doge coin so you can guess which coin he would probably be picking when he allows cryptocurrency transfers on his platform.
Currently in the works with some posts of code to a cryptocurrency wallet they have been creating and have been slowly getting approval state by state to have a currency processor license.

https://www.newsbtc.com/news/dogecoin/elon-musk-biography-dogecoin

Also it has been revealed that Elon has been a developer of his beloved cryptocurrency dogecoin.

It is not surprising with news like this now because in the past two years Elon Musk was often associated with Dogecoin. And even as Dogecoin experiences a huge pump in 2021, besides that, I also wouldn't guess what cryptocurrency he will accept for his platform at this point. But from this news it can also be concluded that there is a full possibility for Elon Musk to accept Dogecoin into his platform when it is very possible for him to do so.

Also it has been revealed that Elon has been a developer of his beloved cryptocurrency dogecoin.

In fact, this has been worth mentioning for a long time because it is very clear that Elon Musk quite likes and cares about Dogecoin, so he has tweeted a lot about Dogecoin in the past. However, Elon Musk also doesn't hate Bitcoin because he really understands and knows that Bitcoin is more than anything even though he has been a Dogecoin developer.

[rdbase]

@Fara Chan He has been known as The DogeFather for years now so it is a given he has a soft place in his heart for the beloved original meme coin!

He is also looking for ways to make bitcoin more attractive to corporate entities as well:

Musk has been trying to come up with new ways to make X more appealing to those corporate council members with bringing a little innovation to the platform so to keep it a bit more fresh than his competitors

I'm glad you used "might," which means there is no affirmation whatsoever. There are many theories and propaganda online, and even if a reputable online personality proves this, I will still not believe it unless Elon Musk himself comes out to verify it. Personally, I don't think Elon Musk has anything to do with the Dogecoin project, he only saw an opportunity and keyed into it.

And of course, if a man as wealthy as himself could support a project in its early stage like that, there is no way it will not pump.

[SquirrelJulietGarden]

What's the point?

I read some reports from Bitcoin Mining Council and Bitcoin mining has good proportion of renewable energy consumption. I remember it already is higher than 50% that is not only reached recently.

In Q1 2022, the report from BMC already shows it is more than 50%, that is 58%.

[coinerer]

Elon Musk's main focus is on Tesla and SpaceX. Crypto is a way to boost money for him. Although he acts like a madman, he tweets about various coins and many coins are pumped by Hughes. and he actually invested there before tweeting and when it pumped up Hughes he sold it so he owns the Hughes wealth that will keep him top rich for a long time. Crypto is not his motivation but it is his money making machine for him. Elon Musk is really a very smart guy

[philipma1957]

Well why not all of the above?

Mining coins with solar power is a natural business for his company that make solar setups.

I see no reason why he does not like all of it.

So I think he sees a natural fit.

Watching the lately spot about Musk appearing on live tv this weekend for showing what all the hype is about and if he will actually have a mention of his favorite cryptocurrency doge, it seems the media are jumping all over this appearance.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWWzszskgmA

What are your thoughts about this North American appearance and what do you think he will do or say about doge or even bitcoin?
I think since Miley Cyrus is the musical guest he will have her dress up as a dog and call her doge.
She likes cats and had dressed up as them on stage during her concerts, so you never know what these two crazy people will do on this episode.

Elon Musk's influence on the crypto market has been a topic of much discussion. It's evident that Musk's tweets and public statements have a significant impact on the prices and popularity of cryptocurrencies like Dogecoin and Bitcoin. While he has expressed enthusiasm for cryptocurrencies, it's important to remember that his primary businesses, Tesla and SpaceX, remain his focus.

Regarding his upcoming appearance on live TV and any potential mentions of Dogecoin or Bitcoin, it's difficult to predict his actions. Musk's unpredictable nature makes it challenging to anticipate what he might say or do.

Elon is an actor. He pretends to be incredibly smart. He has a huge following & people believe he is some kind of hero.

To me, it looks like this couldn't be further from the truth

He is not a self made man, his initial money came from family. He has merely taken all the credit, he's not the mind behind these companies. He has ties to super rich families. He has recently been seen wearing satanic attire, images of his mother depicting the same.

Look he what he does & not what he says:

-Tesla - Electric cars (climate change)
-Starlink - 5G network in sky (surveillance grid)
-Neuralink - Chip in brain, merge with AI (transhumanism)

He constantly shills doge, which is absolute shit coin. Instead of promoting Bitcoin, Monero. Real tools for freedom.

He is not for the people, he is a globalist puppet. He is playing his role for agenda 2030.

He is nowhere near the richest man in the world.

Recent war videos with Netanyahu in Gaza, clearly propaganda. It is not a war, it's a genocide of the Palestinian people. He is part of the big club. the cult.

Everything you're told is a lie, you have to think for yourself.

Sure he speaks some truth, but is it just enough to deceive you?

He constantly shills doge, which is absolute shit coin. Instead of promoting Bitcoin, Monero. Real tools for freedom.

He is not for the people, he is a globalist puppet. He is playing his role for agenda 2030.

He is nowhere near the richest man in the world.

Recent war videos with Netanyahu in Gaza, clearly propaganda. It is not a war, it's a genocide of the Palestinian people. He is part of the big club. the cult.

Everything you're told is a lie, you have to think for yourself.

Sure he speaks some truth, but is it just enough to deceive you?

Some say the exact samething as Trump. They are both honest actors.
If he really understood how cryptocurrency works he would back the better horse out of the gate.
Which to most is Bitcoin, the absolute leader in the space ever since the invention of cryptocurrency.

Since the price of bitcoin has risen so quickly, mainstream media have some FOMO and showing it with headlines coming out such as this one.
The unveiling of the Cybertruck from Tesla began rolling out this week, incentivizes them to have anything to do with one of Musk's corporations does hold more attention for stock holders of TSLA and potential buyers of bitcoin:

As many who are following Musk on his X spaces session with the leaders of future technology companies might be well aware of the conference call with Ark Invest's Cathie Woods this past week.
They were some talks about bring a payment system to the platform and many news outlets investigated into it further
Even viewing the Tesla & X owner has applied for a money transmitter license.

Here are the articles among a few other prime points about bring other forms of payment to the X platform mid-2024:

^Funny story for sure in line with Xmas cheer, but elon doesn't run my matrix, our matrix here is from Jack Ma and PRC It's true even if we deny it, even if they banned Bitcoin, it's our reality.

Seriously tho, Telegram had a much bigger userbase of payment users than Twitter, much more global and crypto friendly and yet TG wallet + TON didn't exactly blow the crypto world up right?

If Elon were to introduce a payment structure on twitter/X then it more than likely would be a coin he believes would be more marketable to the users on those platforms.
Here is a short video of when he says he does own bitcoin but also dogecoin and ethereum.

Elon musk maybe thinking of entering in a field of crypto currency and I think he already did as mentioned inthe video he does dogecoin and ethereum, a meme coin and an altcoin, this coin maybe seems dangerous and risky for others especially a meme coin but may e because of this video or elon musk mentioning this coins maybe it will be hyped and many investors or traders start to explore in this kind of coins, well its not bad to trade or invest in this kind of coins but the risky is too high, I don't know why elon muck is doing this maybe he is thinking of adding crypto currency into his business or more greater plan ahead, I hope he also does bitcoin and add bitcoin to its business because with this big names more and more people are going to be aware in the existence of crypto currency.

Musk has been for many years and the crypto-related community atleast on his X platform had been reminded with the recent starlink launch for mobile phone service:

Elon took to an X spaces invite from one of those Bitcoin Spot ETF companies CEOs in Cathie Wood from Ark Invest a few days ago.
So here is the interview which was done right after the ETF was approved and what Elon thinks of Bitcoin now that it is accepted by the financial institutions of Wall Street and if he will allow it to be a form of payment on his platform:

Elon Musk BRUTALLY Honest About BITCOIN
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pbBT4UISc1o

This was done by a former Tesla employee Farzad Mesbahi as he runs a podcast.
Here is the information about this person who still believes in Tesla and what they are doing since he currently holds their stock.
"I worked at Tesla starting in July of 2017 as an Operations Analyst out of the Bethlehem, PA distribution center facility and left as a Program Manager based out of Austin, TX as of September 2021. I spent most of my time in the distribution and supply chain organizations.
Before Tesla, I was a Director of Business Intelligence and Pricing at the largest Pet Food & Supply distributor in the US, Phillips Pet Food & Supplies based out of Easton, PA. My wife and I also owned a small business in Bethlehem, PA between 2016 and 2019.
I have been a shareholder of Tesla since 2012 and currently own Tesla stock.
My thoughts are my own and are not representative of everyone who currently works, or has worked at Tesla."

The stories never stop about Elon and his adventures within the cryptocurrency space.

Many already know about this tweet put out by musk at the beginning of the year:

Today's surge in the price of bitcoin caught everyone who had been watching the price for the past two weeks since the spot ETF was approved certainly off-guard.

This could be due to the accummlation of particular headlines in the past 24 hours.
The one included I believe did this aswell would be this one:
https://decrypt.co/214314/elon-musk-tesla-holds-387-million-in-bitcoin

Plus the talk of X payments possibility of introducing an unnamed coin could also have bitcoin as a candidate during the approval process.

You can't say these two didn't help in the confidence level of bitcoin so to have the 5% increase in it's price in the past 24 hours.

Watching the lately spot about Musk appearing on live tv this weekend for showing what all the hype is about and if he will actually have a mention of his favorite cryptocurrency doge, it seems the media are jumping all over this appearance.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWWzszskgmA

What are your thoughts about this North American appearance and what do you think he will do or say about doge or even bitcoin?
I think since Miley Cyrus is the musical guest he will have her dress up as a dog and call her doge.
She likes cats and had dressed up as them on stage during her concerts, so you never know what these two crazy people will do on this episode.

If its in the right section of the forum then I doubt it will be deleted.

About Elon Musk. I think the big question would be if he made an impact on the cryptocurrency industry. He made a lot of ruckus buying $1.5 billion worth of Bitcoin, and then next to it is boosting Dogecoin.
So I guess he did made an impact in a different way. On social media especially, because those who haven't got a clue about it was suddenly introduced and maybe those who are pessimistic about Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies changed their mind thanks to him.
The impact was seen at how Bitcoin rose to 5 digits in value because the demand suddenly sky rocketed and no one really expected it to be that fast.
He can definitely make a market swing thanks to his followers and connections.

Is he using crypto for attention of his product? I think he is. And now even X (formerly Twitter) is also reaping those rewards.

Elon Musk makes Grok AI open source amid ongoing OpenAI lawsuit
https://cointelegraph.com/news/elon-musk-open-source-grok-ai?fbclid=IwAR2a0BmA-y3-Ywg2G6Seu6woSgeiEqK27HhOgRkBkZ_AJOdpO6C9SXc6uVY

Like OpenAI’s ChatGPT bot, Grok is an AI chatbot developed by Musk’s company, xAI. Unlike ChatGPT, however, Grok can access real-time information via the X social media platform and answer more hot-button questions that some other AI systems reject.

Musk’s decision to make Grok open source aligns with his requests in his lawsuit against OpenAI to advance open-source AGI for the “benefit of humanity.”

"Benefit of Humanity". I highly doubt that. There's always a benefit for humanity but the priority was always the benefit of the wallets. I just don't like how the sudden thought of making an AI came out after attacking the old one who had been in the trend for now.
I think this is also to boost the number of X (formerly Twitter) users. Why? Because accessing the xAI would need an account in X.

To access the chatbot, users must have a verified X account. According to some comparisons, Grok AI, which is powered by the Grok-1 large language model, surpasses ChatGPT-3.5 but doesn’t perform as well as OpenAi’s ChatGPT-4 model.

^
That's intriguing. Well, I think he had been a supporter of that memecoin which is why he would respond like that. If ever he have more of those in his stash, then I believe he will be happy to boost it more with his cryptic messages.
This will also boost the number of supporters for his projects and who would not like that for a business.

Memecoins became one of the hottest in todays market. Another news came out regarding that.
Franklin Templeton Releases New Report For Memecoins, The Hot Area Of The Market – There Is a Solana Detail

https://en.bitcoinsistemi.com/franklin-templeton-releases-new-report-for-memecoins-the-hot-area-of-the-market-there-is-a-solana-detail/?fbclid=IwAR1e-r5sPKnsiBzPkJ7T6qkUCoMSLUZoK--SrFFTdheDIc3xgWhxaaH2ONk

“We believe Memecoins have a strong relationship with their native networks,” the report states. He also notes that in the fourth quarter of last year, the Solana network captured a significant percentage of activity across all active addresses, which coincided with the price increase on BONK.

Maybe that answer of Elon Musk has something to do with this? He hyped the memecoin market again.

[rdbase]

Solana memecoins have surpassed everyones expectations. It will make them the alternative way to deal with these type of coins since the only way had been to use the ethereum network.
But as many had experienced the high gas fees were making them un-usable.
Hundreds of dollars to send an altcoin with no utility such as a dog inspired coin doesn't make much sense.

Think Solana has reached $190 on the news about such projects in the memecoin space having exploded such as BONK, WIF and even Shiba Inu in the past week.

So let this new blockchain infrastructure have the memecoins and NFT space instead of the Bitcoin network with those inscriptions clogging up the bitcoin blockchain.

This was something which needed a follow up to what happened to the patient who had Elon Musk's company Neuralink install a computer chip in his brain so to have tasks done via a computer.

Elon Musk's X anti-hate group case thrown out
https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/elon-musks-x-anti-hate-group-case-thrown-out/ar-BB1kwecc

US judge has thrown out a lawsuit brought by Elon Musk's social media firm X against a group that had claimed that hate speech had risen on the platform since the tech tycoon took over.

X had accused the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) of taking "unlawful" steps to access its data.

Imran Ahmed, founder and chief executive of CCDH, celebrated the win, saying Mr Musk had conducted a "loud, hypocritical campaign" of harassment and abuse against his organisation in an attempt to "avoid taking responsibility for his own decisions".

X (formerly Twitter) siad they will plan for an appeal.
He might still not win it.
Social media is a place where people would like to tell their opinion and I think Musk is just being a softy here.

He said the company had "brought this case in order to punish CCDH for ... publications that criticised X Corp - and perhaps in order to dissuade others who might wish to engage in such criticism".

Well, there's a way to stop them, he owns the company, he just need to dirty his hands for a bit.

Most likely reason is because he is just bitter because he couldn't do his hostile take over with OpenAI.

There's no breach of contract as there is no contract or agreement to be breached. So this seem to be as desperate as his earlier richest man alive sues non profit organization.

I don't know why he makes these, but it seems to be some sort of virtue signaling as he wants to be a savior and accepts no one else saving the world, so he thinks these would make him seem good or cool. Or maybe he just doesn't understand law well enough to see these are pointless. And his lawyers won't advice otherwise as they get paid anyway.

I am fairly certain Elon Musk has already said publicly that some of Tesla's access cash funds will be invested into Bitcoin rather than sitting in the bank. So from that he is already involved and invested. However, Elon Musk does a lot of things which align to his personal beliefs and interests, not for profit. He doesn't care about making more money or flipping ceyptocurrencies for a short term gain. I think he believes in the technology and capabilities within Bitcoin. I wouldn't be surprised if he was a HODLer with a much larger personal allocation..

There is probably some sort of name for an individual that is like this but I can't come up with the name at the moment. But the closest thing I can associate this behavior to would be having a god complex.

Sure he has even reinstated for Tesla to accept bitcoin for purchasing their vehicles once again. Well ever since it has reached a new all time high this year. So why wouldn't they?
He also does things that are politically motivated as well. He had to be since in the state of California they were stopping any progress with him making his cars.

I don't doubt that about Elon Musk, he loves technology and I think he is one of the farthest when it comes to it.
But let's also be real, he has people around him, investors too, financial advisors, and so on. Those are the people who would urge him to get some attention using either social media or whatever platform so that money will keep on flowing and his project will have enough budget to continue.

I found a piece of news in Yahoo about how much could've Elon made if he had HODL.
Here's How Much Tesla Would Have Made on Bitcoin If It Had HODLed

We already know the story about the Buy and Sell. Pump and dump done by Tesla.

In 2024, the price of Bitcoin has gone as high as $73,750. If Tesla had HODLed its original investment of 43,200 BTC, it would have been worth nearly $3.2 billion at the highs set in 2024. This is a gain of more than 100% or $1.55 billion. Instead, Tesla holds less than 10,000 BTC worth around $700 million.

Just like most of us. We made some mistakes. I could've got like $300,000 this year if I had HODL'ed too. 

[rdbase]

True enough @Reid !
Even if he held enough Doge coin his most favorite to all of cryptos he would well in profit since it has surged a fair amount since the recent bull run and even had a large buy from somebody yesterday. Many doubt to be Musk but you never know.
Once again there has been talks swirling that his company X will be making a major announcement in the coming days. So could this finally be a payments system being the central piece for a cryptocurrency? Or just to be some stupid thing called X-coins?
Who knows at this point.

Speaking of Dogecoin. This is a good read.
https://bitcoinist.com/elon-musk-buying-dogecoin/

Is Elon Musk Buying Dogecoin? $45 Million Whale Buy Sparks Speculation In DOGE Community

Dogecoin is grabbing headlines and speculation from its wide community of investors after a recent whale accumulation from a crypto exchange. On-chain data shows an accumulation trend from this whale, with the latest being the acquisition of 300 million DOGE tokens worth $45 million at the current market price.

These speculations have led to theories on who the whale buyer might be amidst a continued price decline for Dogecoin, with the most prominent hypothesis being billionaire Elon Musk.

It's possible that's it's them/him/Tesla.
Remember that time where he went to Germany and said it's possible to buy Tesla using Dogecoin? I think his financial advisor or crypto enthusiast advisor have suggested him to buy because of the possibility of a hype due to what he said. (speculating)
Who knows? There may be people who want to try buying Tesla using Doge, which means demand and next to it is a pump which also means profits to them on both ways.

I think Elon Musk personally see crypto as means of opportunity and when he thought about it, he knew that if he should create one, there is possibility of him been questioned later by SEC, so he used Doge and because it's was a meme coins, he could just played along and get his thing done because it's a joke coin, very clever of Elon Musk isn't? He was also the richest man that time, so it was very easy for him to used that influence on people. Have you seen SEC question his actions till date?

During that time that he went bullish on Bitcoin, Tesla stock was doing well. It was a perfect opportunity for him to pump it and also make more money for the company, sold at the top and then claim that the company need some liquidity, he didn't think of other options but selling Bitcoin at the top was the best option for him, very clever Elon Musk I must say.

It's possible that's it's them/him/Tesla.
Remember that time where he went to Germany and said it's possible to buy Tesla using Dogecoin? I think his financial advisor or crypto enthusiast advisor have suggested him to buy because of the possibility of a hype due to what he said. (speculating)
Who knows? There may be people who want to try buying Tesla using Doge, which means demand and next to it is a pump which also means profits to them on both ways.

I think Elon Musk personally see crypto as means of opportunity and when he thought about it, he knew that if he should create one, there is possibility of him been questioned later by SEC, so he used Doge and because it's was a meme coins, he could just played along and get his thing done because it's a joke coin, very clever of Elon Musk isn't? He was also the richest man that time, so it was very easy for him to used that influence on people. Have you seen SEC question his actions till date?

It is not so easy to guess the motives of traders like them. What is very well understood here is that he is an opportunity seeker. Although there is nothing to blame him because he did nothing that was illegal. However, this would be a big problem for those who would invest based on their vision or their words, becoming an ordinary crypto investor. Many invested in meme coins on the spur of the last bull market but there are doubts as to whether the coins will touch all time highs again. If Elon Musk is a famous and big businessman following him, there is more chance of loss than profit. People should not rely on any celebrity for investment. Investors must prioritize their own skills and knowledge. Everything Elon Musk does is for his profit, but we must take limits for ourselves.

Tesla had continued to hold their bitcoin and not sold any of their holdings of the cryptocurrency.

This goes the same for SpaceX which hold's over half a billion worth of bitcoin equaling out to $1.3 billion between the two companies.

He have the money so I think he will grab any opportunity he can make as long as they see profits. But I do agree that we should not just blindly follow anyone when it comes to investment even though they are celebrities. The FTX collapse is a good example of that, it's so big that even the followers of known Hollywood celebrities are being dragged down by their fans due to following every move they make. We have our own choice and own analysis, we should also use that.
I invested in CRO not because of Matt Damon but because I can see a good future for Crypto.com especially when they bought that long term name for Staples Center.

Back to Elon.

I didn't know such a thing exists. Limited posts because it is being reviewed. I guess SEC is afraid that he might use X as platform to create mayhem or use it with other things like a form of free advertising himself if ever he wants to run office.
That's the only reason that I could think of, or maybe an attack to SEC? Is that what they are preventing to happen?

He also argued regulators have since used the agreement to harass him and limit his free speech rights.

I guess this becomes a problem once you become an owner of a multi-billion social media service.

I'm gonna guess you meant Twitter / X instead of "our" social network. But what's funny is the only Elon Tesla tweet that made it into my memory banks was this one:

https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1256239815256797184

Tesla stock price is too high imo

I guess that could also be considered stock price manipulation? LOL

I really wish he would get back to tweeting about DOGE & manipulating that, for selfish reasons.

It's the top social media in the industry so I guess our social media platform just fits in. I call it my only social media. I have been using Twitter/X everyday for information regarding sports and cryptocurrencies and I bet many people do. It depends on what they will follow.

Most information now is right there and if you want the fastest update then X is the better choice. I am not using Meta/Facebook because it's filled with streamers who are just taking advantage of it unlike X.

Anyway, regarding Doge, yeah why not. He threw some hints to pump it again last time he was in Germany telling they could use Doge as means to buy Tesla.

I do not trust Elon tbh... he might get more profit with his doge manipulation

[God bless u]

Watching the lately spot about Musk appearing on live tv this weekend for showing what all the hype is about and if he will actually have a mention of his favorite cryptocurrency doge, it seems the media are jumping all over this appearance.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWWzszskgmA

What are your thoughts about this North American appearance and what do you think he will do or say about doge or even bitcoin?
I think since Miley Cyrus is the musical guest he will have her dress up as a dog and call her doge.
She likes cats and had dressed up as them on stage during her concerts, so you never know what these two crazy people will do on this episode.

Elon is planning something very big. Either he is showing all this to gather attention of big investors and then manipulate the doge market to get huge amount of profits. 

Or it's either that to remain into the media and to have a dominant personality over the world he want to come into the crypto world so that people can continue to have in their minds who is Elon Musk.

I don't understand Elon Musk's intentions. Are you a person who has everything in life for money? Do you want more money? I don't know, but I think Elon loves him, because I don't see any other way for him to be a person like that. He spoke badly about bitcoin and that condemned the most experts to go against him, and the bitcoin community doesn't accept him very much, almost I don't do it because it seems to me that he is an egocentric person, and he is also a very millionaire person, with many plans and projects even to go to other planets, so what I think he wants is more attention for him, for them to adore him and for them to say which is the best, all that egocentrism, I still remember when he spoke badly about bitcoin and made it drop in price.

I think that at this point we are way beyond making money, I feel like Musk doesn't know what else to do in his life to keep bringing attention on him, that's way he tweets all the stupid stuff and sometimes (oftentimes) behaves like a kid. He is extremely egocentric and I bet he is a very difficult person to deal with, no matter if you're his friend or if you work for him.
