I don't know where people stand with Elon, but to me, I think he's quite a genius. His back and forth feelings about Bitcoin has been quite interesting to me. Every time he talks about Bitcoin in a good way it increases. But when he talks badly about it, or at least isn't supportive of it, you watch the Bitcoin drop quite drastically. He's trolling them.
Elon Musk has more power than what most people think. He may not be the richest person in the world but he sure can influences people. Also, I don't think he is all about making money. He's an inventor and very intelligent and I think he could make some pretty incredible things if he worked with the military/Space Force. I don't really care for his wife, but, Elon Musk, in my opinion, is one of the good guys. We want/need him on our team. We shall see what the future brings.???
Why do you think he's a genius? I hear that so often.... I never quite understood why people think that. Musk is a bit of enigma. I honestly don't know what to think of him. Sometimes I think he's ok, and other times I think he's a black hat sone of a bitch. I'm on the fence.
As far as the bitcoin thing, I don't know, I honestly think he's pro-bitcoin. All the back and forth is just making the weak parts stronger. He's bringing attention to certain aspects and in a roundabout way educating people, like with the miner thing. He buys btc, then trashes it talking about the energy usage, then he has a meeting with some of the top miners in North America, which brings awareness, etc. I think Musk is actually good for bitcoin.
This is just my opinion as of today. This is subject to change.
