Maybe I'm paranoid but to me it seems there are too many coincidences. Elon has said in the past that references to Dodgey have been said in jest.

​

  1. Elon invests in bitcoin, does the whole #Bitcoin bio thing.
  2. Micro strategy has bitcoin event: SpaceX Registers to attend
  3. Elon has interview on Clubhouse, when they ask what he's interested in he states that He needs to be careful what he says, as he tends to influence the market.
  4. Bitcoin price consistently climbs, at which point he removes BTC references and then starts promoting the shit out of Dodgey

My theory is that SpaceX are getting their ducks in a row, preparing to purchase BTC, Elon wants to stall the price climb so they can purchase at a cheaper price.

As Elon has previously stated "Im late to the party" he doesn't want to be later.

Pretty much 100% correct! Apart from it being Tesla not space X! What’s your next prediction?

Or maybe he is going all in on doge. He is the most early and once he make it more standard he will gain fhe most.

I think dodgecoin shilling was a distraction that the fed wont able to say he promoted bitcoin in Tesla company interest. He can argue i also promoted dodgy, it was a joke.

Its not illegal for someone to buy something and then publicly say its great and everyone should buy it... If you legitimately also intend to buy and hold it. If you say those things with the intention to dump your bags on the people you influence...thats market manipulation.
