Man do I have a love-hate relationship with Elon Musk. He comes off as a cool, grab a beer with, play DnD with kinda dude, but you have to wonder how much of that is reality and how much of that is just a giant show in order to gain the trust of millions in order to manipulate them into doing exactly what he wants them to do.
He recently starred on SNL, which was basically just a giant hour and a half long plug for his company and technology and for him to have a good self-indulgent wank in front of millions of viewers. The hype leading up to it, the actors supposedly complaining about him being on the show, his admittance to having Asperger's: All so endearing. All so staged. Then just a few days later, after having been hyping BTC for YEARS, he pulls a stunt so fucked up that he crashes the entire crypto market, in some cases irreparably...all with ONE TWEET. Why Elon? Why now?
So I go on Twitter this morning and the Doge Army is throwing BTC under the bus, and everyone who owns it, which is just so ironic, as Doge would not even exist without BTC, or without Elon Musk for that matter. I guess that's the difference though. BTC helped shape Musk, not the other way around. He has been associated with the crypto now, and owns a huge stake in it, but it seems that everyone is under the impression that it is at his disposal, and maybe they are right. He has the power now to crash anything within his financial sphere, and yesterday, he decided to make that target poor ole BTC. The whole thing was completely disingenuous. As if, this man, who has literally based his entire shtick on green energy and the environment, didn't know how BTC was produced until yesterday, and then decided to shun BTC for being an energy hog, but simultaneously not let go of his holdings...at least not until BTC "fixes" how it is mined.
Of course this had a huge knock on effect, and basically crashed all cryptos save a few, and it got me to thinking, why do we let people like this come into power, and why do we hero worship just the worst fucking people?
If you know anything about astrology, you know that Elon Musk has similar planets and placements to that of Donald Trump and Kanye West. They are all Geminis, and they all love to use Twitter as their adoring audiences.
Right now there is still an entire Doge army just salivating at their keyboards waiting for the next Elon Musk scrap of a tweet to cash in for their tendies. But what if that doesn't happen? What if Musk doesn't give two shits about the WSB bois. What if he is just like any other billionaire dickhole who is only in it for themselves?

The likelihood is high, people, very, very high. He is a smart cookie, and he knows how to manipulate both people and markets. My guess would be that he will be buying more BTC even as he tweets how bad it is for the environment and runs it into the ground, regardless of the economic impact it has on others. He doesn't care. He is the richest dude in the world (most days, when he's not deliberately running his own company into the red.)
What I have to say to the Doge bois (and don't get me wrong, I love me my doge) is that if he has enough power to bring down BTC, he has enough power to crush Doge, and he very well might.
I still expect BTC to recover soon however, and have a massive rally. I suspect he knows that too. It's easy to predict what a market is going to do when you're the one controlling it.
I don't believe in censorship on any level, but find it ironic that Donald Trump was kicked off Twitter for having too big of an impact on his followers (as far as the "insurgence") but Elon Musk can literally move markets with one tweet, and no one bats an eyelash. It's wild.
So Elon Musk, you are an evil, awful dude, and you can go eat a bag of dicks.
