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

X will be adding a new feature of “Smart Cashtags,” where people can specify the exact asset or smart contract they are referring to when posting.

Official solana account spoke on it as well-

Grok is getting Elon Musk into some hot water he does not want to be treading into right now.
On Monday morning Malaysia and Indonesia are both blocking the X platform's AI from their countries access by the social media's use over concerns of it allowing creation of explicit content they both deem offensive:

Today the guardian posted that X will block Grok from creating any sexualised images, but its only a 'geoblock' for countries where this is illegal.
https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/jan/14/elon-musk-grok-ai-explicit-images


I think it should be completely blocked, insane that some people can still do this

[FortuneFollower]

^ And so the tale of using this function comes to an end.

Yeah, it's not good to always be at risk of being "nudified" by anyone on the web that is willing to do so.

Indonesia became the first country to temporarily block Grok, followed by Malaysia after a day, this is because there were many cases where the photos of Indonesian artists were misused by several people without legal permission to turn the photos into sex, which received strong criticism from many parties.

Many local news stated the same thing about this news.
X and the Indonesian government's Komdigi have met to resolve the issue and committed to improvements and technical adjustments, the details of which are unclear.

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.

I think people read way too much into Elons actions sometimes he likes attention, memes and stirring reactions online and Dogecoin fits that perfectly, it doesn't automatically mean he thinks he is some God figure it more like he enjoys playing to the crowd and watching the chaos that follows.

Elon Musk in a way acts like a court jester. I think it is just in his nature.
But he does know how the corporate world works or he wouldn't be in a position that he is in today.
Control of the EV industry, social media and the space exploration field of course.

So it feels like the patient has taken over the insane asylum at times.

I’m just hoping his latest threat to buy Ryanair and fire the CEO to replace him with someone named Ryan results in him selling Tesla stock to pay for it. That way maybe I’ll get another nice entry price. I promise I won’t take profits on Tesla anymore after that. 

[rohang]

TRON founder mentioned how he would pay Elon 30 million $ just for a private hour of conversation. Apparently he is a big Elon musk fan, wanting to be the 'musk' of crypto. He keeps publicly praising Elon and his moves to buy Twitter etc.

If that meeting does happen i think it would be great for TRX as IMO its one of the best coins which is definitely undervalued

This has gotten out of control in a short of amount of time with Ryanair's CEO Michael O'leary shooting back at Elon Musk launching a seat sale just for this feud with Starlink wifi on their planes:

Think Justin Sun is trying to get in a meeting with him so to get tron in as a payment option of when X launches their cryptocurrency processing function which has been in beta for awhile now.

Elon Musk will be attending the World Economic Forum in Davos which he has not in several years:

Its possible, on monday WH is holding another meeting banks and crypto companies, maybe elon / tron have something on agenda as well

[rdbase]

Justin Sun the founder of a cryptocurrency token is really pressing to have a meetup with Musk and probably attempt to initiate this at that crypto meeting at the White House after this weekend.

Wasn't quite sure why Tron was pumping so much lately. I remember when it was $0.15 but now it has doubled in it's price.

Could it be on the news of him wanting to pay for a meeting with Elon just like he did with Warren Buffett a couple of years ago:

Here is the video interview with Justin Sun six years ago appearing on CNBC Squawk Box:

From the list of those invited to the table Musk is not one of them, since he does not have any direct involvement with cryptocurrency only that Tesla has holdings in bitcoin:

https://x.com/coinbureau/status/2018305903221784783

This just started and is inprogress at this time.

Also Elon wants to merge SpaceX with xAI in other news on his businesses that could increase these companies evaluation.

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.

LOL this gonna be wild.
Musk + live TV = chaos guaranteed. Bet he’ll drop some Doge flex, maybe joke about Bitcoin too. And yeah, Miley dressed as a dog? Low-key hilarious and totally extra, but I wouldn’t put it past them

That episode was done back in 2021, so unfortunately you are late to the doge party.
He hasn't done much for cryptocurrency or bitcoin since that time anyways.
Bringing some sort of cryptocurrency to the X platform is the only thing that can have him back any sort of coin.
And many are eyeing Tron at the moment with Justin Sun wanting a meeting with him to talk about it.
That has to be the reason why it has kept it's value even while all other cryptocurrencies had dumped when bitcoin lost 12% last week.

Over the weekend there was an announcement from an executive from X who mentioned in the coming weeks they plan on introducing a number of features including Smart Cashtags that will enable users to trade stocks and crypto from their timeline:

Here is that X post from Saturday:


Musk also mentioned in the article above that he wants it to be the everything app such as the we app in Asia.

Space X intents to file it's IPO very soon and has CoinBase holding it's bitcoin stack which has been reduced by $235 million from this bear market.

Elon Musk is a very clever man who want absolutely nothing but to see his investment skyrocket to the moon. He's incharge with promising businesses and also a whale in crypto. Elon Musk is acquainted with the proper standings of the market, he knows when to invest and when to sell. Do you know Elon Musk is public figure,  he lured most of these investors into investing in crypto and today some are making good amount from crypto while some are stuck in heavy losses. Elon Musk have so many things on his mind and chasing clout in crypto is definitely not one of them. Elon Musk is among the top whales that controls the market.

Who doesn't want where they put their money into for growing and being successful. I would think that will be 100% of the human population to gain money than to lose it in silly investments.
As for him luring people into investing into any cryptocurrency, I do not think he had directly done this.
As it would compromise his other businesses in doing so.
Mentioning anything to do with Doge was in fun by him and not seriously telling anybody (even his mother on SnL) to invest into it.
He views it as a memecoin and nothing more which most people see it as a humorous cryptocurrency.

[rdbase]

There was a post on X from Elon saying that X payments were coming next month.
No mention of what sort of currency would be used but more likely some sort of stablecoin at first.
Since they are talking about giving 6% on any balance being held on their platform.
