 There are Bitcoiners who believe Musk is Satoshi..

The man apparently wants to make humanity interplanetary; an admirable goal.

Yet he ignores the single greatest catalyst that would set this in motion - freeing humanity’s best and brightest from fiat debt slavery with the only vehicle capable, Bitcoin. 

Instead of possibly unleashing 100,000 Einsteins, he chooses to pump a meme coin which benefits him.

Anyone who believes Musk is Satoshi is SERIOUSLY retarded.

At best he’s a well-meaning but narcissistic Billionaire who thinks he alone can achieve the goal, more likely he’s a LARP getting fat and happy in the Cantillionaires Lounge and doesn’t really care. 

But one thing is for sure, he ain’t fucking Satoshi. https://i.nostr.build/rWOiBtDnPLIJuxrm.jpg  
 Lol bro can't even remember how define a variable, i'm sure he hasn't seen a compiler in 2 decades 
 He's definitely not Satoshi, but Tesla does hold nearly 10,000 BTC

 Does this imply that Tesla is imploring Bitcoin to evade taxation or how is that profit declared or even accounted for by the board? 
 everything he does he does for himself and himself only 
 *the bad kind of retarded 🙈 
 It would be a good thing for humanity if he achieves his goal and fucks off to Mars and we never hear from him again. 😂

Honestly, I think some of his companies are actually doing good and interesting work. I don’t think it is a good thing though that he has this almost cult leader like status where some people believe and support everything he says and does without questioning the motivation. 
 Musk is a good engineer but he has weird ideas and fears. 
Like he is always talking about the dangers of AI
😅  
 I remember @naval saying exactly this about Musk when talking about “Pascal’s scams” - he spends way too much time focussing on ridiculous tail risks. 
 Mr Surveillence and Control and China fanboy? 
 I’ve pivoted to freaking out about Sam Altman 🤷 
 Einstein was fiat era though
