Musk is just a good businessman.
I agree on this point. Of course he is a good businessman.  That is why many people follow him. Even earning money is very easy for him. Just buy a token/coin and then tweet.  His followers build there huge pump.

I think elon musk for his goal. Of course I  believe cryptos world make him and his company's more popular.

I don't think that he has a lot of time to study the crypto market and get involved in it.

I think that may be one of the biggest issues. I could imagine that as a nerd he would be interested in bitcoin, but in the end he has no time to learn how bitcoins works. So he uses it for a time as a marketing stunt and then leaves, since he has no knowledge to use bitcoin more in-depth.

I think its great that someone like Elon musk is backing crypto, and yes he has personal interest in Dodge, but overall his support has provided positivity to crypto ecosystem. I think he is increasing his stake in crypto because he has clarity that future of crypto is bright and he also wants to be on the front seat of the crypto bus.

His statement that attracts investors will also benefit him since he has a huge investment in crypto. Elon focuses on making more profit in crypto because he sees it as another opportunity to become richer. Elon's mindset only focuses on making money regardless of negative feedback from other investors. I'm sure that he's also backing up Doge as part of his profiting strategy.
I think your opinion can be right or wrong for what Elonmusk has done so far to crypto, especially to doge. Indeed, it must be admitted that what Elonmusk has done may also bring a positive side to crypto but it does not rule out the possibility that it can also be a negative side.
as a businessman, we must also know that the orientation that is carried out is purely to seek profit from whatever is done, as long as it is profitable then he will do it.

my opinion is, don't expect anything more from elonmusk, if the situation is like this, then we don't see anything he does to be able to boost bitcoin especially with doge.
the situation is indeed a correction and he won't be able to do anything and it looks like he can't do anything about this.

That's just a marketing play I suppose. It gives people the thought "wow they're the future" and gives them an illusion that Elon is interested in the same things they are interested in. Musk is just a good businessman. I don't think that he has a lot of time to study the crypto market and get involved in it.

Of course. He is a business man first and fore most. Whatever it is that makes him money for his companies well being(s) then he is all for it.
And in this case it was bitcoin. But for a brief moment.
He then turned over and had one of those companies sell off most of it's holdings and now after sending out a tweet about it after it took place you know where he stands on anything to do with bitcoin.
Calling it a "Sideshow" doesn't make you any new friends in the cryptomarkets like how Saylor was to him when he first bought after a tweet from the bitcoin whale.

Backing? He bought bitcoin for his personal gain, tweeted about it to get the price higher, sold it all and badmouthed it for being bad for environment. The price crashed after his tweets and maybe one day we'll learn who benefited from it. Maybe Musk gave a tip to some of his rich friends to be ready to buy and then began to tweet all these things about bitcoin? We all know that price tanked in 2021 after his tweets and recovered soon to reach a new high. Some people made a lot of money on Musk's manipulations.
Musk does everything perfectly to make money out of it. It can be cryptocurrency or something else. What he aims for will be attained through some means. He understood well about the market. There are people who keeps following his trend to make some money. Once after the price tanked to the ATH people just ignored him. This is where he lost his importance in the cryptospace. So, further I'm not sure how he's gonna influence the market as people well understood his activities.

Manipulative? Yes it is possible but the community isnt really blind on how Musk trying out to play with peoples mind specially that we are really that highly reactive when it comes to news and events in the market.Just like what been said by other people that we arent that blind on not to notice something and if it turns out that people are already getting tired or already done on what Elon is been doing.
It do really become too obvious on what his motives are and this is where community starts to mold some hate.

Boosting his business and company? Its not surprising for a billionaire on trying out to market his one of the source of his revenue.

First and foremost, Elon is in it for the money.  That's how you become the richest man in the world.  The most amazing thing about Elon is how he's able to frame the discussion around him.  He'll have you believing he wants to save humanity by making billions from cars and soon space travel.  You have to remember this is the guy that convinced the world he was helping populate our species when he cheated on his pregnant wife to get a co-worker pregnant.  He sold his Bitcoin because he thought it was the best financial choice to make.  There is no other reason.  If he gets back in, it will be to make money.  Period.

So far we have seen that Elon Musk is indeed tweeting about crypto, especially Dogecoin, but I think he is nothing more than a businessman who does make his influence for personal gain even though in the eyes of the public he looks like someone who supports crypto, now apart from the president of El Salvador And also Michael Sailor, I personally don't believe there are people like Their who really support crypto so it can continue to grow except for personal gain, and it's even said that Elon Musk and Tesla have sold 75% of their bitcoins just because they are afraid of the consequences the covid lockdown in china and also to balance their corporate cash, so I think Elon Musk and Tesla's plan to sell their bitcoins shows that they don't really have as much faith  the future of bitcoin as El Salvador president Nayib Bukele has so far.

Elon never had an objection in his life.

Plain billionaire damage.

Monkey brains? Stay of! I talk about scientific experiments with no respect for organic life.

You don't wanna be that modified monkey. You would repair them and return them to the zoo.

That's the whole idea. Take out the niche. This one goes out to the ones that called the police when I tried to make money.

Super name. Genesis. Elon. (Give him a golden crown and act a fool. Ludacris).

He is just here to make money. He's been selling everything. Manipulated Twitter and made a bunch of money for him and his frens. Sold Tesla to "buy twitter" without causing a panic tht his company is currently overvalued. Made billions there. Now sell a bunch of Btc before it goes down 50% from where it's at now. Elon Musk has made more money than anybody in this bear market. Smart man imo

You are right. He is certainly not a Bitcoin believer, for him Bitcoin was simply a means to an end. Like Twitter or Doge or many other things. Yes, he is certainly not a bit of a fool, what I would like is for the market not to be so influenced when he lifts a finger.

How can a personality like Elon musk do not know the potential of bitcoin? I could not believe this.
I think he understands bitcoin very well but he tweets only to get the attention or to move the market according to his trades & manipulation.

There has been some talk in the reasons why his company Tesla sold almost all their holdings in BTC.
So he can pay off his lawyers fees for the Twitter lawsuit filed against him for trying to retract his ongoing bid.
On a serious note, During his Q2 conference call he mentions that they will be holding on to their doge. Wink
He even seems to troll during these serious conference calls to his board of directors who don't know a lick about cryptocurrency.

Posted about this ongoing news subject on the other thread more along these lines of discussion located here:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.60601862

Now we know the answer from the most recent news breaking a couple of hours ago which is causing the price to drop again after rising a bit after a 5 week slump:
https://www.wsj.com/livecoverage/tesla-earnings-q2-2022-elon-musk-live/card/tesla-sells-75-of-its-bitcoin-purchases-tgkMdMf1EHDvdniqHu8S
https://www.coindesk.com/business/2022/07/20/tesla-sold-936m-worth-of-bitcoin-in-second-quarter/
Selling 75% of your holdings and it being worth $963 million sure doesn't sound you support something that you fully believe in.

Twitter deal seemed to have the bottom fall out and are now sueing the multi billionaire for the amount he is to pay for the company.
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-07-13/twitter-uses-elon-musk-s-tweets-against-him-in-buyout-lawsuit
But of course Elon is doing Elon things and making it look as if he planned it all along to play out like this:

"‘Musk’s exit strategy is a model of hypocrisy,’ Twitter argues"

Seems that Musk does favor dogecoin in some way or another with what he discusssed during his interview on the Economic forum in Qatar this past week:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTBeGjg4pek

Stating his companies does accept payments in this cryptocurrency for merchandise but that does not include for the actual products and services which his companies main focus are, for example buying an actual Tesla or booking a flight on SpaceX.

It seems that every other week Musk manages to stay in the news.
But even with this attention grabbing news, I doubt he would want this kind of publicity when it comes to the headlines today.
He is being sued for his entire net worth by someone claiming him promoting a pyramid scheme with a cryptocurrency he has basically embraced and is known to condone it with accepting it as a form of payment for products from his companies in the past.

Class action lawsuits aren't so easy to just shake off. Just don't know what the one who is making these claims is going to do if he loses.
