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

[rdbase]

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.

And he is forecasted to be the first founding member of the Trillionaire Club and actually, it's not that far that he can achieve that feat in less than a decade from now.

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.

Mentioning about getting into the mainstream spotlight.
This masterpiece of art, not sure if it was created by AI like most NFT art are nowadays, showed up on twitter earlier yesterday.

Now it is featured at the side of a building in NYC in a full blown out billboard.

For what reason, who knows why and what purpose it will fulfill in the future of NFT artwork.

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 & CTO, overseeing product, software & sysops."

https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1656748197308674048

So he is handing over the daily tasks over to an unnamed individual so far.
Interesting to see how this works out for her.

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.

Tesla getting more attention now that he is handing the reigns over to a new CEO in a month from now.
New robot workers look very futuristic but are being used in some Japanese companies already for car production.

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.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla,_Inc

There has been good improvements made since the very first Tesla rolled off the assembly line.
Such as Summon mode which was demonstrated a few months ago at a parking lot to some surprised spectators:

"Get my car Jeeves" having your valet automated is definitely something useful during mall parking.

They have been in talks about incorporating doge coin payments on the site for sometime now.
There was a tweet that caught interest a while ago inregards to this development in it's offering of cryptocurrency payments:

Possible but there's no assurance to that but having those past events or situations like making use of Dogecoin logo in twitter then we do have  that idea about those probabilities.
Dogecoin jumps more than 30% after Musk changes Twitter logo to image of shiba inu
https://www.cnbc.com/2023/04/03/dogecoin-jumps-over-30percent-after-twitter-changes-logo-to-doges-symbol.html

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.

Don't forget that he is one of the founders of PAYPAL. This was before Tesla.

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.

I believe you were on to something with this statement days ago since that is exact what Elon Musk thought too with this move today which was announced by Tesla getting rid of bitcoin as a payment and having dogecoin as the preferred method instead:

Very interesting choice so if it is the choice to go with there you can assume his other companies are next.
So we can see twitter accepting it as a source of payment soon as well.

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.
