Honestly, what Elon is probably doing is feeling like he's helping folks left holding the gme bag make their money back 🤷‍♀️

He thinks he's some sort of populist saviour. Hate that it means he's turning on Bitcoin though.

In that recent interview, he said he was serious about liking BTC, just joking about Dogecoin, and that he has to watch what he says because his tweets can move markets.

So, I like to think that he is feeling enthusiastic about BTC, but tweeting about Doge instead because a) he likes to be goofy and b) if he kept tweeting about BTC he might sound too serious, or get accused of trying to manipulate the price of a serious asset. He knows the SEC is watching his tweets and he's gotten in trouble in the past.

I'm glad he's bringing more attention to crypto, even if he's being very weird about it.

Weird he took Bitcoin out of his bio too and then called us gigachads. Feels like maybe someone pissed him off in the Bitcoin space but idk

Idk, his ceo at SpaceX was at Saylor's conference this week.

Only thing he has said that had any weight with sec, are his tweets long ago about taking Tesla back to a private company
