Elon Musk is already threatened by anonymous, or, most likely, imitators, but in fact offended crypto users:

Anonymous Targets Elon Musk for Destroying Crypto Holders' Lives, Trying to Control Bitcoin

The more often Musk tweets about Bitcoin on his Twitter account, the more hate he gets. Natural events. But no matter how hate Musk grows, the number of followers on his Twitter is constantly growing and he gets an even larger audience that reads him. I wouldn't be surprised that this was not Anoymous, but a planned move to get even more hype and attract audiences to his profit-making tool called Twitter.

Are you even serious right now? Musk really couldn't care less about those "warnings". Public people like Musk are getting various threats all the time. If they were paying attention to them, they simply couldn't live, ffs.

Fortunately, Bitcoin is much stronger than anything that could be destroyed by Musk's or anyone else's words. And that's what matters.

I think this is the end of the clown Elon game
I respect Elon when he doesn't play in crypto

but right now, he is making millions of people angry and mixed feelings
hopefully, with this warning, he realizes what he mistake

I love how you approached this subject. Amazing how fast people sway in the face of the times. You are spot on!!!

I don't think that a petition will help Elon Musk do that. I don't think that Elon Musk will even hear about it. My only hope is that Elon Musk realizes what he's done. His every word is directly manipulating the market.

Lol what a cringe, "community" creating petition for someone to sell his bitcoin. What a bunch of woosies and crybabies. Those were probably celebrating the loudest when at first Elon promoted bitcoin and now they changed the tune. Ffs, just stop giving him all that attention  and sooner or later he will stop with his bullshit.

I just signed the petition. In addition to possible market manipulation, I think it is hypocritical for a "green" company to hold bitcoin. This has hurt the Tesla image and lost them sales and market cap- https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/tesla-backing-bitcoin-is-a-carbon-tragedy-energy-use-is-huge-transaction.220105/
https://mattelston.com/2021/03/24/teslas-bitcoin-folies/

I agree, and that's what I was going to say last time, but it slipped my mind somehow: it's not the amount of BTC in one's possession is what makes someone a "Bitcoin's biggest influencer", but rather the social value of the person. His/her words can make much more damage to the market than any sell off.

Unless this petition gets hundreds of thousands of signatures there will be little impact. The guy is huge, and his success and connections will make all of this look like nothing.

Don't get me wrong it is great to see such unity among the crypto holders but is just that we need to come up with a massive splash that nobody can't ignore. I'm talking about great media attention, and an ongoing rally, this can't be a one of thing. This is the only way this has a way to penetrate and make an impact.

I agree that tesla thrives with bitcoin, but Elon Musk once manipulated prices, this made me always wary of ELon Musk, and I never followed their hype in the doge. I know this is just an obscure meme coin. I'm sure it will come down in time.

What happens after that though? Did the petition accomplish anything and if Elon was to authorize the selling of Tesla's bitcoin, what now then? The people who created this petition and signed it are stupid because their hate won't translate into something that will benefit bitcoin in any way.

This is what I'm not sure about, I mean I really don't know if selling 92,000 BTC can cause a tremendous collapse. It's only 10% of today's daily trading volume. Surely it would cause a significant decline, if sold at once, But in a couple of weeks, or months, the market would recover, no? And much less would Tesla's selling off affect the market, of course. ... I may be wrong, but that's what I think.

Somebody must have taken advantage of the hatred towards Musk. Lucky to be that person. Imagine creating a coin from hate that will really strike the public thus the increase of 2000%.

On the real note, stop giving attention, and just focus on what is happening right now. We don't really need to chase him down for what he does as before he got interested in BTC. BTC is already doing better in fact the current price range is almost the same amount to before Musk enter.

"Asperger syndrome" that explains the wired sense of humour,
One minute Elon is sure about accepting btc to buy Tesla, next minute he is concerned about the environment,  and few hours later,  he is conducting a poll about dogecoin to be accepted,  what an individual, hope there is a cure to this or he can limit his activeness on social media to avoid conflicting and dangerous tweets.

Okay, then let's talk less about Elon. If the petition works, that we think it needs a celebration...But I don't think that we really need to reach that moment as I see that Elon Musk is now leaving crypto. And even without this petition, he is willing to send himself out from here, right?

If people will become more curious about the life EM, this drama wouldn't have an end. People will keep talking as they pretending that they know more about the life of Elon. Why not set him free and for us also to move on.

Just a post would be necessary, but having petition is too much with little to no effect.
We already have too much drama going on in crypto especially back in the days of McAfee.
We had enough.

Same thoughts about the topic but I guess it is what they are expecting to happen with this petition,
They are aiming to buy at a lower price and thinks that when the price drops low and they bought it the price would bounce back to where it was.
But if it isn't what they are expecting then I don't really see any other point on this?
Because we all know that even if they win and somehow Elon or Tesla really sell their Bitcoin they would surely come back again to gain profit,
And when it happens it would be another drama about market manipulation.

No matter how many petition, nothing is going to change what Elon did? And he won't even care about this petition, this situation is like the time when Caligula challenged Neptune and he ordered his soldiers to poke and slice the ocean. And Elon doesn't have the bitcoin, it's Tesla that has the bitcoin so they are pointing at the wrong person and if Tesla was to sell the bitcoin that they have, I am sure everyone will go insane because the prices will dump really heavy if they sell their bitcoin.

That's for the best right now, damn FUD is flooding in, the cult of Elon is ruining the market in a negative way.  When the new investor community arrives, they don't have enough arguments, they will go before realizing the emotions dominated by Elon's tweets.  Like stocks before it, Elon should be kept quiet when it comes to bending things.  Lol, the negative sentiment is flowing, the pressures on the rise of the US dollar only make the bulls create an isosceles triangle.

Exactly. Now Musk is called "Bitcoin's biggest influencer" by media, and partly it's true, but should we think that Bitcoin's destiny is entirely dependent on Musk's statements? No. It would be so if Bitcoin was nothing without Musk's support, but we all know that this has never been the case. Musk can quit the game, and he will be swiftly replaced by another "biggest influencer", be it a person or an institution.

Absolutely, all this things are just giving him more attention, people will know more about him, some curious people might trying to find out what happened, and who knows that some will be pro to him rather than angry with him. We need to stop caring about him, giving him attention since i believe that it is what he wants. I guess the petition won't be any good, it's not like he will hear your complaints and agree to do as the petition said though, small chances.

The people/investors has given him this power to manipulate the market and potraying him as the future predictor and made investment on his tweets.He was ruling the market like a king telling lies and spreading rumours for his personal benefits but all this hype is now in vain and he is no longer in position to make false tweets because they don't matter now so what's the fun of this game.Making tokens like fuckelon or stopelon is just like making some other shit memecoins again in the market which have no utility in future and will crash.So best is to ignore hime in any means of crypto world.

He will not be selling any Bitcoins at instant because he might be against bitcoin mining showing himself as environmentalist but not against holding.He knows how much Tesla has gained with $1.5 billion of investment in just 4-6 months and what will be future profits.So relax about that situation also.

It's better if we don't care what Elon Musk says ... let him tweet whatever he likes, because the more we care about his tweets, the more stubborn he will be, as if he's going to be king in bitcoin .. us' d better just ignore him ... wants him to post negative or positive posts about bitcoin ... we should care less, just ignore it.

this is entertainment for me and do not know why I am happy to see this
maybe this could be a sentilan for elon but this is just a small stumbling  and will not mean anything to him.
because he clearly had powers and petitions and signed only about 300 people could not make him deterred. but at least this is entertainment for now and also a stumbling block for elon even if only a little and almost does not feel

Well, how do i say this? But for me, despite all of the controversies, I don't think it is the right choice to ask Elon Musk to sell his bitcoin. First, its his coin, he has the right to do so. Second, if you're that fcked up with his bullshit, alright, I understand, but making him sell his big amount of bitcoin will only be harmful for the market. The price will surely drops, a lot, and of course most of you don't want that thing to happen right? Elon can do whatever he wants, we just need to ignore him. Stop making him become that crypto influencer, and make him just a normal person whose word hold no power.

One thing that we should acknowledge regardless if it’s Elon or someone else, is that Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are unpredictable. You gotta accept the market conditions, whether if it goes bearish, bullish or kangarooish, and always do your own research and invest/trade what you can afford to lose.

I understand that a lot of them are pissed off with Elon for manipulating the market with just a single tweet. But it’s not just Elon alone, but we can also blame China for it’s major role on bringing down the price due to their crackdown on Bitcoin mining and trading (especially Inner Mongolia). Even Iran recently banned all Bitcoin mining now.

It's not bitcoin that is the problem here, Elon has a big following which could be problematic because the moment he says something about bitcoin in a negative light, the prices will surely plummet, people will follow what their God will say and we can't do anything about it, it's how the market was moved plus if that were to happen, I would really love to buy some bitcoin at a really low price.

Elon didn't 'make' it decline. The idiots who hang on his every word and dump on the slightest suggestion of something that could be construed as vaguely negative. And 1.5 billion isn't that much when he's worth over 1.5 billion. I'm sure people will be singing his praises if he manages to sort this eco-mining council thing out and the price pumps because of it again. It already went up 5% after the news.


He owns at least a quarter of a bitcoin since 2018:

https://www.investopedia.com/news/tesla-billionaire-elon-musk-reveals-how-much-bitcoin-he-owns/

I would be surprised if he doesn't own more or hasn't added to his own personal stash since then. He's mentioned that he hasn't sold any of his personal holdings yet so I'm assuming he has more than a mere quarter.

First of all, Elon Musk doesn't directly own any Bitcoin. And secondly, it is up to Tesla to decide whether they want to sell their BTC stash or not. Just because a few people make some noise here, that doesn't mean that Tesla will be forced to sell their coins. Being a decentralized asset, no one has the right to speak on behalf of Bitcoin. If you guys are so adamant about it, then you can make an offer to Tesla, to purchase whatever BTC they have in their wallet, at a rate which is 10% or 20% above the prevailing market rate.

I have no problem or worry about this situation, I still trust bitcoin. Many people or organization tried to destroy bitcoin and they always fail. Many smart people that always hold their bitcoin no matter what, and in the future they get big profit. I hope Elon Musk don't do bad thing to bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies because it is not good for his company image.

I have expected this move by him. He's a wise guy, and a wise guy doesn't invest $1.5 billion in something and then makes it decline.


"It was just a healthy criticism", might reply Musk, hiding the real purpose of those statements - to lower the price for a little while. Why buy expensive when you can get it cheap?

Yeah, I bet that would be the hardest punishment for Elon, to have people stop following him on social media.
I can only imagine the damage this would do to his ego!

Indeed, total ignore that is the best course to shut down Elon's influence to use.  The more we react to his statement the more impact it will give to its tweet.  But sadly media won't stop relaying his message because it has always gone viral as soon as Elon releases any statement because we immediately react to it.

Isn't Doge and what Musk has done to Bitcoin exactly the same? He is just a P&D generator and he only has the influence he has because we're giving him the attention. Without the attention, he'd have no power.. and if we continue to give him attention.. he'll just continue to do this because why not?

I honestly didn't profit from Elon Musk pumping prices, since I didn't sell any BTC during that period. You're mentioning that the crypto community didn't care back then, because the market was boosted, but that couldn't be further from the truth, at least for me. I was genuinely worried when Elon announced that he purchased $1.5 Billion worth of Bitcoin, suspecting that the current situation would be inevitable.

How about a new petition? Everyone should stop following Elon Musk on Twitter and stop reporting what he says and does. Case closed.

It is a nice way to show your reaction to the recent incidents. But I don't think this petition will change anything. Why would Elon Musk want to sell Tesla's investment now? They would be in huge loss. Even if the price recovers, I don't think that they will sell all of it immediately.

I believe he has Asperger's syndrome. He is a sick person, if he roams freely in society, it is harmful to everyone, he needs proper treatment. A few days ago I saw a tweet from him that he proposed a nuclear bombardment on Mars, it does not harm the environment but the use of coal in Bitcoin mining has made him very worried. Proper treatment should be given to keep this person in loony-bin.

Do you believe that Elon musk doesn't have any Bitcoin? The fact that he's doing all of these tweets and Accepting bitcoin as a payment in his own company that's just hard to believe.

I mean we can't really blame this crash, we did see market manipulation and I think the manipulation is the thing here, he did manipulate the market and pump it, but we didn't blame him since it benefited us. Don't get me wrong bitcoin could survive without Elon Musk if you look at the market price it is still up this year for a high percentage since the last ATH of 20k$.

This FUCKELON token is so hyped but that's pump and dump.

Bitcoin was already very strong before Elon Musk decided to invest in Bitcoin and got involved with Bitcoin. So I believe that without Elon Musk's
support, Bitcoin can go up in price and be able to recover from its current condition. We, as a crypto community, don't care about whatever
Elon Musk says, I think someone like Elon Musk just doesn't deserve the attention of the crypto community. It's better for us all to focus
on collecting as much Bitcoin as possible, rather than wasting our precious time on Elon Musk.

just a joke that has had a huge impact on cryptocurrencies especially DOGE and BITCOIN.
A person like Elon Musk has many dreams which he has accomplished.
It wasn't just about the jokes he made, he also focused on the business he was developing, the jokes he made to introduce his business.

Nowadays people with many followers and have a big influence in the world easily invite their followers to follow what he is talking about.

This petition may just prove that Elon has indeed big influence in the crypto market. I believe, it is better to just move on as the crypto market can survive without him. This will give another reason why people will see that Elon is an integral part in crypto, which is not the case. Even without him, crypto will survive. Just don't buy any of his tweets anymore. It seems he's playing the market as he sees, he can be a big influence in this market.

I also didn't like that Elon Musk changed his mind to bitcoin and caused the market to crash. Perhaps his position of being the richest man in the world makes him have the desire to want to manipulate the market. I think he's losing credibility because of all the known antecedents.
I agree with you guys, Elon Musk does not deserve our attention, at the end of the day he interested us only because he was a powerful influencer who had invested in bitcoin.
Bitcoin is going to rebound from this crash because it is not the first, it has been strong before Elon Musk invested in it. Now bitcoin will come out on top for everyone's support.

You are absolutely right.If we ignore Elon Musk for good and we don't care what he does,his "so called influence" on Bitcoin and other cryptos will fade away gradually.I am not going to sign the petition as I don't care what he is going to do,what I am interested is the future of Bitcoin and I know a bright future is ahead of us so patience is the key,whoever is patient in these kind of situations in the end will come out victorious.

Musk again writes about cryptocurrency in a good way. He used to say that Bitcoin is a little less shitty than fiat money, otherwise DogeCoin is a cryptocurrency that should be exchanged for money, and now he says that between fiat money and cryptocurrency, he chooses cryptocurrencies.

These constant changes in the vector of thinking are already tired of the order.   


https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1396049547680391168

Musk, if you choose cryptocurrencies in this battle, why do you speak badly about them? 

Hopefully soon we're gonna approach the post-Musk trend already. He's being given attention by a lot of people in here.
I just even forgot the guy already after he hyped Dogecoin a lot.

The guy's confusing me a lot, but whatever he's siding on. I don't care in the end. I respect him as an engineer/CEO of SpaceX, but as an investor, I dunno.

I saw the article on Cointelegraph where they thanks Elon for introducing Bitcoin and cryptocurrency to the world. Well, we may have hated him for trolling but that's really a wonder that a big influencer like him can do. He had been on the headline news in the business and investment news because of it and they can't help mentioning Bitcoin and Dogecoin.

This dip he made is allowing the new people in the market to buy the dip.

It could very well be the case. Having $1.5 billion invested in BTC, why would he want the price drop?  I see only one possible reason: to buy more at lower price.

Elon is a wise guy, with lots of proofs of that. I can't imagine him turning into a jerk some people in this thread see him as. Only time will tell. Get the popcorn ready.

I know this is childish behavior for a short time. Mean if Elon sells his holding then we will encounter a short-time dump in Bitcoin price. But if we think more deeply then it's better for a long time. Better if he says that he left Bitcoin forever and enter some other shitcoin. Let him play with shitcoin. There are many institutional investors still buying Bitcoin even Elon spreading negative about Bitcoin. So I believe even he decided to sell all the holding then someone else will buy back it on the other ends, I mean some other institutional investors. This kind of people like Elon is harmful to the crypto industry.

Be careful what you wish for. I doubt you'd be happy if he did dump all his coins. Something tells me people don't mind when he publicly announces he's bought bitcoin and he's a hero when he does but when he sells he's the bad guy. Calling for him to dump his coins is almost as childish and puerile as he's behaving and seems like people are throwing their toys out of the pram because the value of bitcoin isn't going the way they want it to. I think the bigger issue is how fickle people are and hang on his every word. If all it takes is one ambiguous word from him to tank the price by 5%+ then it's not his fault people are sheeple and act positively or negatively on his whim. I would rather have people like Elon on our side than against us and if people piss him off with their crying and hassling him then he can do much more harm if he wanted to and that's where the real danger lies. Personally I'd rather him just change his mind and start accepting bitcoin again at some point but he's not going to do that if people are attacking him, but something tells me he was getting heat or hassle on the environmental concerns front and since Tesla is trying to sell it's cars as eco friendly it doesn't really go well for their brand.


I doubt there's a conspiracy here. His behaviour does seem pretty autistic to me. I think he thinks he's just being funny and acting like he's "down with the kids" when he talks/memes about dogecoin etc but it all comes across as pretty cringe to me, but if people want to throw their money at dogecoin just because Elon talks about it then that's their prerogative and if they get burned then they only have themselves to blame.

making jokes in the crypto community is not funny...

millions of people's destinies today depend on crypto. Imagine how much people allocate their savings or sell their house just to buy Bitcoin or Dogecoin. if he's just cracking jokes here, he'd better just focus on his business.

yeah Michael burry, kick his ass.

Noobs make him rich, but people with money, on the contrary, make him poorer. Tesla shares have not dropped so weakly in recent years. Investor Michael Burry shorted Tesla shares for $ 530 million:

https://www.cnbc.com/2021/05/17/michael-burry-of-the-big-short-reveals-a-530-million-bet-against-tesla.html





Moreover, he made a short in January, and this information was disclosed only yesterday. An interesting move. I think this was done on purpose. Right now, such a period when trust in Musk is no longer so strong and there is a lot of hate against him, and this investor is simply adding fuel to the fire in order to provoke a further drop in Tesla shares and make Musk even a little less rich. 

How can you be so sure about the intention of those who are raising this petition? They may be doing it for their own publicity. Even if the intentions are real, I don't really think that Elon will be bothered much about an online petition, which is signed by less than 500 people. His Twitter poll, where he asked whether Tesla should accept Dogecoin, was voted on by more than 3.9 million people. Now compare the numbers. 500 vs 3.9 million. The best thing to do is to wait and watch. Elon is going to sink under his own weight.

That's correct and well said. And even if he would sell, this doesn't stop him from buying back and also doesn't shut him up.
However, it just occurred to me that maybe all this Elon story is a fake drama engineered not to fall the price, instead to gain even more awareness for Bitcoin.

Yes, he can move the crypto market, but I am not sure if he can do that every time because the crypto market will move against him. Although he can modify the fundamentals market, he needs to be careful because the market will not move as he wants. Maybe people need to let Elon and watch what Elon will do later and if he tries to move the market again, we can use that for our benefit.

Easy, it's just a joke.
Look what Elon has done so far is so surreal and mostly beyond people's imagination.
He is a dreamer, and what we shall do is play with him.
Don't take it seriously.
Fate loves joke!

Musk pumped Bitcoin price.The Bitcoin community-"Elon Musk is awesome"
Musk dumped the Bitcoin price.The Bitcoin community-"Elon Musk is a jerk"
This is kinda funny.At the end of the day,it's all about the Bitcoin price,not about blockchain technology or Bitcoin adoption.It's all about the price.
A petition against Musk won't change anything.I was never really a Elon Musk fan,but maybe he is trying to tell us something,with all his trolling over social media.Something about the toxic nature of the crypto industry-Everyone is so focused on the prices.The crypto industry is basically "casino capitalism".

What would this petition do though? Will it change the outcome of the things that already happened? Will it make Elon Musk change his stance regarding bitcoin market and energy consumption? If the answer is a no then why do people still waste their time on this kind of stupid stuff?

A lot of things have been riding with Elon ever since he expressed interest in cryptocurrencies. I even know someone who is a die-hard fan of him that he wants to continue to buying DOGE coin. He is fairly smart since he is investing what he can risk and is okay to lose.

It's not bad to ride the hype because of the possible opportunities that you could get while trading it. What's worse is that people are investing in these different types of projects without really understanding the reason why it exists in the first place.

Could this Hate be the cause of the next bearish market with BTC? Up to the point that Elon becomes too affected by this and just decides to sell everything? Wouldn't this be worse?

As long as one has internet connection and has a platform he can do anything. But to me, it's just a stupid yet funny idea.

1. A person is allowed to buy sell their coins whenever they want.
2. How would you know that he is not holding any bitcoin or even holding bitcoin

He must be enjoying it seeing bunches of bitcoin noobs are making him rich. The difference between rich and poor is in their action. Rich keeps the poor busy what the things they do and become richer.

Anyway, I am happy seeing all those noobs are losing their money because until they learn it hard way, they will not understand the bitcoin industry. So let them learn the lessons.

The people don't seem to know since we just made a really insignificant tweet into something that cause a lot of panic in the market plus petition is just a bullshit thing that doesn't do anything, will that petition be acknowledged by the person? I don't think so because it isn't an official document and it is just a fad that makes you think you are changing the world.

He is losing the Mars exploration because China had just landed there. His power is nothing against it. His claim on Mars will soon crash. That power is getting out of his hand.  This SpaceX scam will soon be revealed.  His Paypal had already turned into just a bank and not a payment method. 

Him deliberately trolling crypto market will also crash. Let him enjoy the attention for now because this guy will likely end up like Mcaffee.

Dont mess with Elon. He has a power to move the crypto market. He can modify the fundamentals of market price flow by casting FOMO or FUD. Actually DOGE pump is not only by Elon Musk, he is being backed by a group of billionaire whales.

Stop this petition. Stop feeding the trolls. Even this FUCK ELON token might be headed by Elon Musk himself!

Exactly. Famous influencers have been making videos about cryptocurrency, Doge, and Elon Musk recently to the point that he is being introduced to other people. I've been even hearing people talking about Elon Musk here in our place. What he's doing is definitely working for him and he is not going to stop anytime soon. 

This petition is meaningless and is probably getting laugh at by Elon Musk in his man cave or something.

1. In fairness to Elon, he is free to do whatever he wants. He is no different from hundreds and hundreds of other crypto people who are shilling all kinds of shit, those who are criticizing Bitcoin from whatever sides valid or not, those who are promoting Bitcoin as if it fixes all problems in the world, and so forth. They are the reasons why there is such a thing as DYOR (Do Your Own Research).

2. The crypto market is completely free. Any billionaire could manipulate the price at the expense of whoever they care not. The rule is that there is no rule.

3. Fuck Elon Tweet token ($FUCKELON) is a joke. Its quick growth is another joke. All at the expense of crypto. This makes the crypto community looks uglier.

Just my humble opinion.

As much as the influence goes. I dont think influencers or majority of crypto guys, would ignore Elon musk attention on Twitter.

This petition is likely will do a publicize attention. People don't see it that way, and some making it big deal, but for sure Elon is laughing hard somewhere right now how bull shit cryptomarket as he pinned down some bloody correction off every coins out there.

People are totally wasting their time getting riled up by Elon to be honest. Want him to have less influence over the markets? Stop giving him freakin attention; and this pointless petition is just another way of him gaining attention.

I Always were a Elon musk fan.
He is like an inventor. Have you seen his rockets landing backwards? Tesla cars are amazing, a disruptive new tech that can really change the world the way we know it. Cities may reduce the noise a lot, as electric cars work in silence  ...

But when he talks about crypto he just sound like a lunatic. I can understand all that hate!

He is acting like a kid.

Soon he will be like macfee, nobody will listen to him anymore.

Tesla selling BTC would be bullish, because the risk of 1.5 billion dump would be gone.

I think Elon didn't sell BTC yet, because he's afraid to look like a fool when the price would eventually reach 6 figures and he would be remembered as a man who rejected Bitcoin and missed out on profits. It's well-known that he is a narcissist, and making poor technological prediction would hurt his (self)image.

I agree with you. What Elon wants is almost the same as what McAfee wanted previously, he tried to get people's attention. I don't know what the specific purpose, it can be related to his company (Tesla) or the status of one of the richest people in the world labelled on him. However, in fact, he is getting popular after he tweets about crypto, Doge, or Bitcoin. At least, he knows by doing this, his popularity improved and more people know about Tesla company.

Absolutely, I think the community should calm down and do what sensible investors
do, buy cheap Bitcoin. Elon himself could very well be taking advantage of the
effect he is creating.

Maybe if he didnt get the attention he is getting now Bitcoins value may not
be creeping towards $40k.

I can understand how a lot of new Bitcoiners feel though, Elon seems to be playing
a little game but for people who have very little opportunities to invest in
something and who are relying on Bitcoin to give them a better future, it is frustrating,
and probably worrying.

Elon doesnt get that though.

Better to neglect his twits whether it was supporting crypto or not (thanks for the free pub BTW) but also it would be beneficial for everyone to get ride of these people who follow blindly such persons as they are harmful for our community and cryptocurrencies in general.
And as a wise man said once: Do Not Feed The Troll.

The more attention people give him, the more influence he can exert.  Petitions give him more attention.  You are going to achieve the complete opposite of what you set out to do.

I have nothing against him, and I think without his visionary skills we aren't going to have Mars colonization or manned Mars flights during this lifetime.
He has done great things to improve private spaceflight, and has greatly raised the standards for electric vehicles for civilian use (Tesla).

The people with intense hatred against him seem to be short term gamblers from third world countries who can't deal with Bitcoin price dips.
People who will absolutely not hold long term under any circumstance. Who buy into Bitcoin hoping for instant magic profits.

Sure, it's an unpopular opinion to have around here, just my 2 honest cents so this doesn't become an echo chamber of hatred.

I think the hatred towards him is hilarious and over the top.
Blame all the brainless lemmings instead who follow his Twitter religiously and base their purchases on his joke and hype tweets.

I do contest some of his claims about Bitcoin not being environment-friendly;
Many of the huge miners are utilizing hydroelectric power in Russia and China. That is as clean-energy as it gets.

For Bitcoin to become fully politically acceptable, as many big mining corporations as possible need to follow that example and also only use hydro, solar or wind power.
Many already do though.

It's a great idea to at least somehow show your attitude towards this person. I will definitely sign this petition and will do it with great pleasure. However, this will not insure us against repeating this story. Unfortunately, this person still has and will obviously have a great influence on the masses of people who will believe his words and the ideas that he broadcasts. Let's massively show our attitude towards this character!
