I see no difference between Elon Musk and McAfee

I smell another John McAfee parody with this meme coin and Elon musk chilling all other the internet, the guy will end up losing his respect and people who aren't wise at making decisions will end up hating him, John McAfee used to chill crypto projects forcing the unknown to rush and buy well Elon Musk is the John McAfee Part 2

Come on, don't compare the shitty one with Elon.

First things, John McAfee accepted any kind of promotion for ICO and some project while Elon is not accepted any kind of this he was really interested in the crypto itself by himself not as a business entity. And the plus things, how experience + milestone Elon have more achievement so far on the technology comparing the shitty John McAfee. If you know elon before the crypto like "PewDiePie" he was really like fomo.

The shitty things, all people just take it seriously all of his memes ~LOL.

Everyone has a different assessment of Elon Musk because some of the people who have benefited from Dogecoin will clearly consider Elon Musk as the basic benchmark for Dogecoin prices and even always wait for Elon Musk's tweet every day.

I never thought in my wildest dreams that I would ever compare Elon Musk with John McAfee. But that time has come now. What Elon is doing is pure manipulation.. although I don't think that he is profiting out of it. I can no longer classify his actions as "trolling". And I really don't know why he's doing this. John McAfee promoted shitcoins for monetary rewards. But why Elon is promoting them? As far as I know, he is not getting any payments.  

[Zotak337]

Elon musk is slightly better than McAfee, I accept this fact but right now Elon is taking the same steps that McAfee took in the past, Elon is brilliant I'm what he do but he know nothing about crypto, if he does he won't be chilling a coin like doge coin, a meme coin of all coins that can really do some good, I'm disappointed in him already

It is a form of entertainment to someone with his amount of money and is used to satisfy his enormous ego. Elon was only ever looking out for Elon, regardless of what his many sheep, sorry - followers, may have thought. I give him credit that he spent a lot of money on Space X and some of the stuff with Tesla (mainly related to battery production), he has done more than many billionaires who would rather buy football clubs or hundred million dollar yachts. If he was able to control himself and act with just a bit more decorum he might be more respected. However calling rescuers names, constantly hyping cryptocurrency for fun and engaging in what effectively amounts to insider trading with the Tesla stock all earned him a bad reputation with most professionals.

Chilling and shilling are different words mate, shilling is what you're trying to say. But all of your points are right and valid, there's almost no difference from what Elon is doing these times. While in the past it was McAfee's spree but it didn't go long. While for Elon, it seems more to be effective and long-lasting while he benefits not only his pocket and portfolio that he shills but also his companies are also taking advantage and benefits from what he says. People should have learned that not everything he say is they're going to take it seriously, I wonder how many of them have realized it this time when the correction happened.

[Refrumatrix]

I believe this guy (Elon musk) worth more than billions right now because doge has no max supply, only God knows how many doge coin this fella buy before making that crazy tweet over the internet, anyways the guy is on his way to ruining his reputation, good luck to him

[thesmallgod]

NO McAfee is known not only to be making tweet and promoting token but have been engaged in many projects even put him as part of the advisory committee. Elon has not gone that far by directly promoting crypto project but rather choose one of the oldest coin (Doge). Whoever is making financial decision based on what anybody tweet is doing so at his/her own risk

You think if he promotes dogecoin that means he will scam us one day or another? I don't think so instead it only makes other believe in crypto as you can see the market was pumped once he just talked about it. He even openly said tesla invested 1.5B in BTC.

Douchebag like John Mcafee did those things but I don't think Musk will ever do it to ruin his reputation for a few million dollars if even that much.

I do respect your own words and presumptions but if we do dissect out on what are the things that had been done by McAfee back in the past compared on what Elon is been doing
now then you can tell the difference.Elon doesnt shill out any projects or ICO trying to say that this one is a good one and simply skip out and find
the next one to be shilled out where Elon had just put up his words or sentiments towards this meme coin and everything went to be popular or in hype
but i dont see anything wrong with here since everyone could express out their words.It is just happened that this guy is a popular and a billionaire
where each word would be taken off seriously or be followed.

Used to absolutely adore him and saw him as my role model until his recent interference in the crypto community. Definitely lost all the respect plus now I don't want to remotely associate myself with Tesla or any of its products. Thought the man is a genius but never knew he would lose brain cells to get some attention from the teenagers especially the sheep.

There is a big difference between Elon musk and john Mcafee and that is  the fact that McAfee got paid to be an official advisor for some cryptocurrency projects and he also actively promoted them.
This led a lot of people astray due to his reputation and that is wrong
Elon on the other hand is chilling in the same manner that a lot of people already chill their favorite coins and he isn't promoting it to anyone as a good investment... So it is very different

[Kayum10029]

Elon musk and John McAfee just walking on the same street. But I am sure Elon musk is the most aggressive viral person who already announcement several times when the dogecoin, bitcoin and safepal. But very recently his tesla car suspended tweet affect bitcoin badly.

[cabron]

He is almost like Mcaffee although, he is much better in the eyes of the institutions because this guy helped them buy from the hodlers who panicked after he shakeoff the market thru the tweets. I personally like what he done because I profited from dogecoin, I guess it depends whether you make use of what he had done or not.

He had been appearing to make media these days even on 60minutes.

i have to agree here. McAfee received a lot of money just by endorsing several ICO projects before that ended up badly for the investors. if some of here remember, some projects here included his name on their title thread just to attract investors. whereas, with Elon, he doesn't need to accept that kind of payment, let's say from doge, because he doesn't need it. it is his own freewill why he is promoting doge. and he is also advising the public that this is a high risk investment.
now, the reputation of McAfee is not-so-good because of those failed projects under his name. elon, on the other hand, is promoting an old alt that has been in the market for years, and wanted to include in their payment system. won't compare these 2 though.

[virtualdn]

I don't see a very big difference. They are both scammers the only difference is that one of them is much richer and knows how to hide his schemes better.

But I don't think he will get away with it forever, too many people lost cash and now if Coinbase will list Dogecoin even more will lose (because he will continue his dumb Dogecoin pumping tweets) and they will get very angry on him. He will get the karma he deserves in the end.

We’ll see this on the next decision of Elon Musk, but for now its hard to say that Elon will ended up like McAfee who supported many scam projects before. I personally don’t want the hype of Elon Musk because it looks like he is manipulating the market but since he’s a reputable business man, many tend to follow him. Hopefully, he wont hype scam projects as well, and keep supporting cryptocurrency until the end.

[shinratensei_]

That makes sense but elon was giving a greater impact compared with mcafee but both were only taking the opportunities in the crypto. We should never trust any entity. So many of them have their own agenda.
Elon was holding doge coin and that's why he was shilling doge coin to make it increases but no one knows whether the company already started to sell their stash or not.
Mcafee was also fooling people for money but this was in the small circle.

The problem I see with your reasoning is that if Elon wasn't Elon, but a more moderate Elon, would he ever in his damn life considered to fire rockets with passengers to Mars and start building a company for that? Would he have decided to build the car company called Tesla? Would he ever have decided to start the Boring Company, building underground tunnels to speed up traffic?
Let's give him the benefit of the doubt and not assume he is some weird idiot who doesn't deserve respect. To me he is like an artist, most of which took drugs and drank tons of alcohol and then painted their hundred million dollar paintings.

Elon wouldn't have tried all these things he is doing if he wasn't out of his mind by nature.

I want to add one point though: Calling the rescuer names is not covered by the benefit of the doubt, That is just idiotic and deserves the highest disrespect!
