Doesn't matter what "pro- any altcoin" he is, because the more he messed around with crypto the more people will lost their interest in him from following to such hyping up to the alts he was invested.
Actually, he actually lost a lot of followers because of what he did the last time.
Now, he's back at it again. Let's see If he can pull up another trick to pump up Doge lol.

"Stop using proprietary software."
It's funny how he says this, yet the largest % of his stack (by far) is bitcoin. He has stated a few times that the only crypto he owns is bitcoin, ethereum, and some doge.

He even clarifies that the doge he has was all mined. He has not spent a single dollar on dogecoin.

When asked why he supports dogecoin he said, "I like memes and dogs."    Solid reasoning!

He doesn’t affect the price now, if he ever did in the first place. When we dumped to below 30k in May was during the time Elon was being weird, trolling, tweeting about the energy mining uses. This period coincided with the time China was actively banning mining & bitcoin use. It’s a misconception that Elon send the price tumbling when it was far more likely to be China.

I personally do not see how bitcoin came into the picture and how the topic title correlates with the actual conversation. This is just a case of a journalist (if I can call them that) trying to spin a news out of nothing while adding some key words which will drag traffic to it, like; 'Bitcoin' and 'Elon Musk'.

Elon Musk can be interested in whichever currency he is involved in, this also means he can be pro Doge.

Think you know Elon? Maybe not as much as you think .. https://youtu.be/c-FGwDDc-s8
Is this the icing on the cake? Why would i want to watch a 25 minute video "debunking Elon" off a  shitty article?

Let me start with ouch. I just rolled my eyes so hard I think I pulled a muscle in one of them.

But, with the NHTSA starting yet another investigation into Tesla https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-opens-investigation-into-580000-tesla-vehicles-over-game-feature-2021-12-22/
he had to say something to distract people.
I actually joked to someone yesterday that there would probably be another Cybertuck tweet coming. Guess he went with a crypto tweet instead.

As for the 'shade', I think more and more people are not paying a lot of attention to him with the crypto stuff anymore. There are still a ton that do, don't get me wrong. But more and more I see him getting a smaller and smaller reaction to his tweets.
And although it's 100% not important or related at the time of this post BTC is back above $51000 so in the very short term a lot of people did not care.

Once again Elon Musk is in the news in relation to bitcoin/cryptocurrency and once again he’s proving he’s full of shit. Personally I can’t figure out if he’s just that ignorant when it comes to cryptocurrency, because he has said a whole lot of stupid stuff in relation to it, or if it’s just manipulation, which we all know he’s very good at. Overall I think it’s a mix. I believe he likes the Proof of Stake aspect being that it gives the largest wallets an advantage. Which is exactly what he’s arguing against here..oh the irony.

What are your thoughts?
