But isn’t it possibly that the world has more than one issue? 🥹🫂 I see your point, but I see his too. The numbers he mentioned are apparently recorded numbers he’s monitored, and I can’t imagine why he would lie. He has this need to save the world, a superman complex. That’s not so bad. I mean he lives what he preaches and he’s had 11 kids I think. I like him cos even though he can be mean and we won’t always agree with his methods, he’s honest - what you see is what you get. Also he’s pretty darn funny 🫂

I think he don't want to save te world, I believed that at some point and didn't wanted to think about the opposite, but when I see what he does with a bit of suspicious... hmm I don't like what I see He is taking steps towards every future way of building a dystopic panopticon, owning social media, owning internet infrastructure, owning ICBMs, owning human-machine interface with neuralink... When I see what other influential people does I trust them more, for example Jack supported nostr from almost day one, no questions asked, no strings attached (AFAIK). The same with Bitcoin. Why isn't Ealon doing that? Why choosing to place himselv in such strategic position?

Nah I get this 🫂 never a bad thing to ask why and be on guard, totally get that and agree. I dunno, to me he seems like a guy that doesn’t think we can do it on our own. Kind of like when a person tells you to get out of the kitchen and they’ll do it themselves (this has happened to me 😭). And I do appreciate what jacks done for nostr too, it’s very kind of him. I don’t think just cos Jack is kind that Elon must be bad cos he has other interests 🥹 I wish he would join with nostr but he’s got his own thing going. Who knows, he might join one day. Maybe he doesn’t think anyone can do it as well as him - arrogant, yes, controlling, yes, knows what he’s talking about, yep 🥹 I like having someone who knows what they’re doing in charge of things. I suppose there’s always a chance he could be up to something, but I’d be surprised. He’s the only one of those silicon valley guys I’ve seen cry. I’ve barely seen the men in my family cry, but this leader cries in front of the world. Hard to explain, but I think he’s being genuine 🫂 I could be totally wrong though 🙏🏽

Thanks for your thoghts on this and the detailed answer! I hope you are right, I believe that even though many people are rotten to the core there are still heroes that does the right thing in the face of a dark future, the Snowdens, the Assanges, the Satoshis, and hopefully Ealon

I think he is funny, but I also thing that hi is not showing us what is he up to. I don't say you change your mind about him, becaus of course I can be wrong, but I do think is wise to be a bit wary about his intentions. It may be tha case that he is legit but still something is off for me...

I agree 💯🫂 I am always weary 🙏🏽 and I totally get why you are too. Also I agree I wish Elon would help promote Bitcoin, but maybe he just wants to let the chips fall where they may and see what happens 🤔 - he’s probably just having a laugh with doge coin 😭 you can buy Tesla/ space X merch with it 🙈 he’s kind of a plonker sometimes 😭🤣
