Can we call Elon Musk a shiller?

[Olamidetechie]

I got to know Elon Musk's tweets affect projects positively or negatively when I bought DOGE some years back. A friend told me to buy it on spot and see how much I'd make, but I don't think Elon is still backing the project again. Two new projects that seem to have Elon's backing now are ANI & RUDI, as he made two big tweets about them, and trust people to move fast, as the value of the two projects increased immediately. Please don't ask me if I bought them because I did and removed my profit immediately. With all these tweets and leave strategy, can we also tag the owner of X a shiller or just a random mistake tweet?

The question is, was Elon Musk really the one who posted that? It's easy these days to create an account with Elon Musk's name on it, as long as I know that when anyone in the X community reads something, they will immediately follow suit. For example, if they see someone with Elon Musk's name on it, they will definitely buy it.

That's the role of the X platform honestly speaking, now whether he's a shiller or not is up to us if we believe it, and besides, I'm not a fan of Musk either,
so I don't care if he's like that or not.

Verify it first if he actually tweet that on his X's account. But whether it's a real post or not, Elon has always been a shiller and it's nothing new for all of us. He will just post meme coins that he likes and no matter what he posts about that, there is significant people that will just follow his tweets and think of it as a signal. But me, I'm done with that and it doesn't matter anymore what he posts. If he posts Bitcoin and something good about it, I like him.

Elon Musk is too busy. He might not have the time to post a "shill" post you are referring to. He has a personal assistant for sure, handling his social media platforms and acting as his representative. Yes, it needs Musk's approval first, but it's up to his PA to construct the post and content.

Elon Musk is not a shiller for me. His actions just become a shill to everyone because a huge number of people buy it. Besides, he doesn't have to shill a thing because his big influence already is a big factor in why most people buy his statement.

[Dunamisx]

We can choose to call him anything, because sometimes i see following these people around back to back on all they post on their social media handle may be unnecessary, more so, we should know that not all the tweets we see are truly coming form them or by their verified account, i don't just trust the way people are so pessimistic about posts and what others are saying, if they don't impress you today, they may do that tomorrow.

We can, why not? Elon has been shillings so many meme tokens (i can't even count how many tokens mentioned by him). He did it numerous times, and it's never a mistake by him. he did it intentionally to drive people to pump such token. Yet, never ever buy what he shilled. You wil only pouring your money to the meme pumpers., and become exit liquidity.

[Mpamaegbu]

For those asking to verify if it was Elon Musk truly who posted that, yes he's the one. That's his official X handle. Again, if anyone is asking that, they shouldn't forget how Elon shilled some alts a few years ago and gave them traction.

Yes, Elon is a shiller. He reminds me of late John McAfee in that aspect.

[Balmain]

There are many Elon Musk accounts on X, and they do so much the same thing that it's hard to tell them apart. Some of them can fall into the trap of those who follow Elon Musk or seek signals. This account may be legitimate, but don't forget how he shilled certain coins in the past. He'll likely continue to do so. I'm not his fan, nor do I need to listen to his advice. Musk's posts are generally humorous or indirect, and as a result, he posts them, and nothing changes. He just creates hype with one post, as he pleases.

[Callido]

You don't mistake a full sentence in what you tweet, mistakes cannot happen in a tweet when two altcoins are mentioned. Elon Musk tweet was pointed to shill both altcoins, and right now people are spending their hard earned money to buy these altcoins that might end up along other pump and dump projects.

Elon Musk tweeting about the projects, doing it repeatedly and still going to do same thing in the future, makes us believe he is a shiller, he does what they do, using his influence to control the market because some are ready to risk all they got for what seems not to be profitable.

And how exactly these tweets, aren't about his AI bots called “Ani" and "Rudi"? Would fit to persona that he tries to be funny by using song lyrics to get attention.

You are aware that anyone can create any token with any name. And that there are thousand of cryptos out there and pretty much every name has been used for them.
But now are we supposed to believe every time any name is mentioned, it's Elon talking about cryptos? I mean he is on drugs, but i am pretty sure that some random tokens aren't always center of the attention.

If we do tend to look at on the profile on which OP posted then it is that similar to this one: https://x.com/elonmusk

On which we can say that this is indeed the original Elon Musk. Actually these kind of tweets isnt that new anymore on which these known people do make out some tweets about some meme coins or projects out there and since these people are that popular or lets say billionaires then on every word that they do say then there's always that an accompanied hype and interest flows in. This is why whenever there are some hints or projects that being attached into those tweets then expect those prices will be that shooting up. For you as an investor and that having that fast flip with those investment then you should know on how to ride with the waves and secure out profits as fast as you can. Rinse and repeat then you would be that profitable.  

In todays market then its not that shocking that we would be having these kind of shills that even into known people Ex. Trump is that trying out to hype up the memecoins $TRUMP on which it did made out some impact when it comes into its price and thats why its not that new anymore that there would be those personalities that having that significant impact on whatever the tweets or actions that they would be that taking into.
Some people do see out to be some shitty game with these people but instead on trying out to go against with these things they would be rather than wanting to that go with the flow.

And once "ANI" crashes, he will claim to have never promoted it in anyways... It has already happened with Shiba Inu, and it's going to happen again with every other shitcoins this guy promotes. Unfortunatelly, there are still foolish investors who keep following and idolizing Elon Musk.

Instead of focusing time, effort and money on worthy investments, people keep falling for memes and false promises of social influencers and financial gurus. Musk is a shady and slippery individual, so I consider to be a good idea to stay away from him. Remember he was responsible for crashing Bitcoin between the bullish and bearish market of 2021, through his BTC adoption as payment method on Tesla, which was almost immediately reverted with the excuse Bitcoin was harmful to the environment.

[TastyChillySauce00]

It could be a shill, but his AI companion is called Ani and Rudi so even if it's a shill you just can't know . So even if you think it's a shill, it also looks like he's just talking about his recent trending AI companion on grok.

Just check out his grok apps and you'd figure out.

[FinneysTrueVision]

He is not shilling some memecoins. Ani and Rudi are new AI chatbots developed by xAI. Ani is supposed to have an anime waifu persona and Bad Rudi is a foul mouthed panda. Of course some opportunists were going to create memecoins based on this, because everything that Musk does gets attention and has the potential to go viral.

Ok thanks for the clarification. But as far as shilling, Elon has history already, remember when he shills for Bitcoin back then in 2021, the price went as high as $50k and everyone was very happy about it.

And then he teases us that he will going to accept Bitcoin for his Tesla so another huge jump in the price. Then suddenly he drops Bitcoin and chooses Doge. So I guess that's the end of it all with his Bitcoin shilling.

Is it even relevant going on details to figure if it was the real Elon Musk that made the tweet? And doesn't the decision of those followers buying and investing on the Cryptocurrencies just my following the media news without making their own research enough point to blame them such as the Op that followed the suit?
Besides Elon Musk is just an adoptor and influencer of the Doge coin and the crypto market is an open source that one can diversify to invest in any other assets as personal decision.
If Doge hasn't been doing well all the while, why not the developers be questioned? Why Musk? Everyone have the right to say what they want in the space and do whatever they want. It's absolutely wrong embracing any of cryptocurrencies just because you've a role model behind the asset.

Donald Trumps who has become a key influencer of bitcoin today was once a critic but yet bitcoin didn't lost it potentials at the course and the community was quite expanding despites his criticisms on bitcoin and those who followed his negative influence then regreted it sitting behind and watch investors exploring. Today it's like Trump doesn't have a choice as he has currently become a bitcoin pronsmd one of the key media, political and economy driver of bitcoin prices.
So even if he tends to turn around again criticizing bitcoin, he'll make not success of bring bitcoin down because it has attained monetary maturity for the store of values.
Im all here saying research should be made before anyone invest on any coin. Be it bitcoin, Doge and wherever. The risk of loosing your funds is all by you and not those who leads your path to invest on them. So I can think we can now allow Elon to breathe peacefully because he's after what'd benefit him just as we all do.

[Accardo]

Exactly what he became ever since he sat on the throne of memecoins like Doge as a president, which I presume was the purpose he suggested to name the American waste and fraud department after the memecoin to shill it at the government level. Did it add some impacts to the coin, yes, but shilling don't always work all the time.

Elon Musk has a really big influence on crypto prices just as Trump. I got same experience during $DOGE where he posted on X a couple times and there was a significant increase on $DOGE and maybe even more in the future. He definitely is a shiller and not a random mistake tweet.

He's not a shiller, but people are taking advantage of everything he's done at X to make a profit. For the Dogecoin (DOGE) case I admit that he was a shiller at that time, but other than Dogecoin (DOGE) he had no specific intention to promote those projects. Don't blame him, because right now there are more than 200M pairs of eyes who are always watching him & only want to take advantage of it all.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

But this should not seem like a surprise to OP or anyone, since OP already said he had experience with Elon shilling Doge coins years ago. Even then, some people said he was part of the team of Doge coin but I guess he was not but maybe was just an investor too who wanted to make profit from his investment so had to do something to influence the market. I guess he is also interested in those two projects and must have invested. He knows if he make such tweet, it can cause to pump but after which it will still dump, if you are investing in those projects, always take profits while you can.
