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.
Code for anyone who wants to play:

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?
