Elon Musk is Satoshi? Someone ran the stylometry and it gets weird

[DKeller]

Someone went full detective on the “Elon is Satoshi” theory and the receipts are wild. PayPal’s original mission was literally a global currency banks couldn’t touch. 2008 was Musk’s worst year ever. Both of them say “order of magnitude” and “bloody”. Satoshi’s one leaked IP points to Van Nuys, where Musk’s jet often flew from. And his kid’s name, X Æ A-12, gets read as “Ash”, which is what Ash Ketchum is called in Japan: Satoshi.

Then the plot twist. The author ran actual stylometry and published the code, and the numbers don’t really back him up. Satoshi used British spelling 33% of the time and double-spaced after 95% of sentences. Musk’s X posts: 0.65% British, zero double spaces. His tweets do score closer to Satoshi than Szabo or Back, but nobody is a real match so even the author calls it inconclusive.

Also, are we really saying a guy keeping Tesla and SpaceX alive in 2008 was moonlighting on a C++ codebase and forum support until 2010?

So which is it: the world’s loudest man keeping the world’s best secret, or the best meme theory in crypto? And if it is Elon, why on earth push Dogecoin?

I am really doubtful about this information: leaking IP points (addresses) by Satoshi Nakamoto?
It sounds unbelievable with information I have ever known about Satoshi Nakamoto.

The Bitcoin creator always uses Tor.
Satoshi Nakamoto was a Tor user.

I don’t believe Elon is Satoshi Nakamoto, because if he were, then he would proudly announce it and try to push Bitcoin instead of Dogecoin. Also, he won’t suspend Bitcoin payments for the Tesla payment, and he would create something that will cost less for the mining and be eco-friendly as well.

However, till now a lot of people claimed to be Satoshi Nakamoto, but Elon has never claimed that. I will believe only who could sign the message from the Satoshi Nakamoto Bitcoin address. Otherwise I am not going to believe such a theory.

Unmasking Satoshi is almost useless as it stands right now. The highest it can fetch you is being acknowledged as the person who unmasked Satoshi.

For your information, even if the real Satoshi was identified as a terrorist in reality, it wouldn't change my position with bitcoin because he has little to no control of anything as it stands right now because bitcoin is decentralised in nature. The highest he can do that would affect bitcoin  negatively is to sell off all the coins sitted in those his old P2PK addresses which may cause a temporary drop in BTC price.

Do you really believe on that claims, especially on the hoax written by sample article? https://www.ibtimes.co.in/bitcoin-creator-satoshi-nakamoto-none-other-elon-musk-says-former-spacex-intern-751131

Because Musk is so far to be the real Satoshi, there are just insane people buying that statement.

Also Musk already deny this claims https://www.cnbc.com/2017/11/28/elon-musk-denies-he-is-bitcoin-creator-satoshi-nakamoto.html so I guess they better stop pointing the name of Satoshi, to obviously wrong person.

[_act_]

Elon Musk can never be Satoshi Nakamoto.

What Bill Gates said about Elon Musk is true. He is not an inventor. But we are not disputing the fact that Elon Musk is a very good business person.

So which is it: the world’s loudest man keeping the world’s best secret, or the best meme theory in crypto? And if it is Elon, why on earth push Dogecoin?

You can see doge co-founder later speaking against Elon Musk over his influence on cryptocurrencies. He has been silent and not promoting doge again unlike before.

Not possible, you can achieve up to more than two lifetime successful inventions within the same year and they all boom at the same time, is it possible for you to divert your attention and still achieve the maximum result in your research and development?

A lot of people have already been claiming being satoshi and that is why we need to critically look at the condition first before we say anything, satoshi remain unknown and none of those that have been acclaimed to be the creator of Bitcoin is actually the satoshi, everyone is just taking their own time to catch cruise with the saga.

[freedomgo]

It's also good somehow that there are speculations like this, and there's nothing wrong with it, since for many years what we've been reading is all speculation. Satoshi remains unknown and as long as the Bitcoins linked to him do not move, I think people will have a hard time finding out who the real Satoshi is.

And one thing, why would people investigate who the real Satoshi is, because it seems like most people prefer that Satoshi remains anonymous as they might change the way they look at Bitcoin.

Elon is the Doge King, Satoshi is the Bitcoin King, they cannot be the same guy.

Fake Satoshi will be better. I don't know the number and different versions of Satoshi unmasking stories that I heard read, this particular one is one of the most useless with low chance. Maybe the person who unmasked this syory forgot that Elon Musk once bought Bitcoin and sold part of the Bitcoin with and I quote "environmental concern", yet he still holding the rest of the coin worth millions. It was worth more than a billion until this market correction.

For your information, even if the real Satoshi was identified as a terrorist in reality, it wouldn't change my position with bitcoin because he has little to no control of anything as it stands right now because bitcoin is decentralised in nature. The highest he can do that would affect bitcoin  negatively is to sell off all the coins sitted in those his old P2PK addresses which may cause a temporary drop in BTC price.

None of Elon behavior looks like Satoshi and I don't mean the speculation. The way Satoshi write on this forum, I haven't come across Elon wrote the same. Even if he try to fake it, they are two different people with different personalities.

Elon work with this government before he left the job, this was his close call to make Bitcoin into US government and makes it become reserve but man was focus on Pentagon and sacked everyone. He quit and Trump lied his ass to everyone about his future with Bitcoin and now he is getting questioned by Democrats about his involvement with crypto. You know what, if Satoshi is Elon Musk, his greedy ass will have be bullish than anyone but he careless.

[Russlenat]

Here we go again with the speculations about who the real Satoshi is. Aren't you guys tired yet??

Stop this nonsense, as Satoshi will never be Elon Musk since that guy is a shitcoin promoter, probably many people were hyped into investing in DOGE, and they could not even sell because they were at a loss. Satoshi would not do that because if he wanted to scam people, he would have already sold his Bitcoins and let the market dump.

Lol.. there are so many unmasking stories I feel are worse than this very one. Like the story of Dorian Nakamoto who was believed to be Satoshi simply because they had an Identical first name and last name in the past before he changed his name to Dorian[1]

Hopefully a day will come when they will say Alvin_talk is Satoshi  because its just been speculation upon speculation without any proof.

The latter, of course. You have to do some serious mental gymnastics to even consider the possibility that Elon is Satoshi.

And if it is Elon, why on earth push Dogecoin?

Exactly.
