Elon is hated because he stopped accepting bitcoin as a payment for Tesla but Elon has spoken **FOR** crypto a lotta times and defended quite well w his trolls.
A couple days ago when a 98 year old dinosaur age man tried to talk shit about cryptocurrencies, Elon came out saying how the old man spoke shit about Tesla and why it’d fail, and how it made him sad back then but it played out very differently.
And when Canada was trying to blame cryptocurrencies, Elon stepped in to defend crypto then too.
Even though he tries to pump doge, major Tesla holdings show Bitcoin and he said he owns Bitcoin, Ethereum and Doge which isn’t even a bad combo.
TL;DR: Elon may not always be good but is pretty good at adopting and defending crypto
Cryptocurrencies don’t need someone to defend but still he creates a pretty positive environment around.
Edit: personally I think Elon predicted the end of the short term marker cycle and that’s why he stopped accepting BTC back in May. Also credits for bringing me and thousands of others into crypto
People here love him when his statements lead to a crypto pump, hate him when they lead to a crypto dump
Lots of people talking like they know him personally. I’m on the fence about him. Don’t tend to get caught up in celebrity worship so I’m remaining neutral.
Edit: judging by some comments here, human sentiment is rather peculiar over time. Because I remember when I first joined this sub everyone was singing his praises like he was the crypto messiah.
Take Elon tweets with caution.
I disagree, he thinks he is better than others and try to manipulate everything. I would send him back to mars.
We don’t need Elon to defend crypto. It speaks for itself.
Fuck Elon
He is a HUGE reason for so much discredit aimed at crypto. Doge and Shiba’s massive rise highlighted just how unregulated and stupid the market is. It gave birth to hundreds of thousands of shitcoins that have rugged roughly $1 trillion from investors. NFTs have caught onto the rugging now too. We need to do our part in pointing out every single scam and rug and those behind it, before it forces the government to. Idk how people do not realize how suspect all this crap looks to outside observers.
Elon Musk is a narcissistic meme lord. Just because he does some positive things doesn’t erase how he toys with both the crypto and stock markets because he can
Ted Cruz is also defending crypto. Doesn’t change the fact that they are both assholes.
Wait wait wait wait wait. Elon is not hated because of tesla bitcoin payments.
He is hated because he is showing his true colors as a rich megalomaniac asshole
It’s possible to promote crypto while also being a narcissistic a hole. He’s done a lot to push crypto forward at times but given some of his recent comments and actions (Thailand cave, Troudeau, etc…) I definitely lost a lot of respect for him.
Elon is hated because of his awful shitposting. It’s like a mentally challenged man trying to participate in 4chan. His jokes aren’t funny. His timelines for products are miserable. Customer service sucks and he’s now being accused of animal abuse. It really can’t get any worse.
Yeah, he did this by comparing Trudeau to Hitler, to be exact – framing him worse than hitler – pretty good and reasonable, makes Crypto and Musk look really good…
Who cares what Elon has to say? I don’t want him to defend any of my interest
YEAH
and Kim Kardashian, Robinhood, Craig Wright and the SEC all get a bad rap for no reason to!!!!
Yeah, no. He is still a miserable human being, exploiting employees, claiming credit for other people’s work and says many things that simply aren’t allowed (specifically against people wanting some basic socialism, e.g. Bernie), because it will cost him money, and that’s all he cares about.
The way he shilled Dogecoin 24/7 I’m pretty sure he brought thousand of users
Lol nice moonfarming post. One day Elon’s gonna tweet about this and Moons will pump and dump to $14 and back down to $0.0014
My issue is that he acts like an edgy 15 year old on Twitter, and that is not someone you want as the most visible advocate of crypto.
Whos Elon?
If you shut out opinions on him from the internet, and simply make a list of the achievements he and his companies have made vs the mistakes and shortcomings he has under his belt, you start to paint a much different picture of him than the one in the zeitgeist.
Ah yes,
Just a few days ago Elon posted a picture of a satire (photoshopped) book titled “Everyone I don’t Like is Hitler, a child’s guide to political discussion” (google it the cover is funny af), oh how the table have turned.
Just stop giving him unnecessary attention.
There was no good intention at play here. This was simply an opportunity for a “humble” brag and he went for it: “*I* was right, he was wrong”. Vomitous.
Still one of the worst POS on the planet.
So you saying Elon is still a pile of shit but with kernels of good in it like corn?
Fuck Elon Musk
People only hate him because he supports meme coins that they don’t see as useful.
He’s pro crypto, that’s a good thing.
Hate elon all you want, but he’s brought so many people into crypto and everything he touches turns to gold. I may not like the guy, but he’s made me so much money, so I try to avoid criticism AND praise.
I mean he is the one who introduced most people to crypto and noone can deny that.
***”Elon is hated because he stopped accepting bitcoin as a payment for Tesla”***
First phrase not true… people have hated Elon long before!
**Elon is back our daddy?**
Yeah, doesn’t want his invention losing steam
I like him to be honest, he speaks when necessary and usually does some good shit usually.
Regardless, Elon is still a douche. IDGAF if he defends crypto or not. There are better advocates out there.
Fuck elon
I think Elon is a veritable genius but he talks about crypto like he just found out about it. His comments about BTC energy use was years behind crypto enthusiasts discussing the issue. It’s annoying that his proclamations move the markets because truly, he is behind the times when it comes to crypto. It’s cool that he supports crypto but should never be considered a leader in the field
He is still a narcissistic clown who only cares about his well-being.
i still can’t understad if elon is dumb as shit or he s just fine spending billions just to troll
on second thought, probably both
Just because I support crypto does not mean I should like every person that “proclaims” to support it. For example, I think Ted Cruz and Elon Musk are both complete jackasses.
I dunno anyone with that amount of wealth definitely didn’t get it by being nice. Personally I could never trust a billionaire, just such a wildly different life he lives, he can move things with a single tweet and that’s dangerous asf.
Lost a lot of respect for him when he compared Trudeau to Hitler. I mean, Trudeau is terrible but come on…
Elon giveth and elon taketh away. Hopefully crypto will become big enough where it doesn’t need him to speak on its behalf.
Elon is not our friend. Just like Ted Cruz or JP Morgan. They defend crypto but they are still loathsome.
He also compared the Prime Minister of Canada, the minority leader of a Westminster Parliament to Hitler.
With full knowledge how idiotic that suggestion is, and also knowing most people in the world (right wing 🇺🇸 in particular) won’t.
Elon is a fucking troll… full stop.
He, and r/Tesla are dead…. And I look forward to the day when the board kicks is ass to the curb.
Breaking News! A broken clock can sometimes tell the correct time.
Elon is a whiny karen
>TL;DR: Elon may not always be good but is pretty good at adopting and defending crypto
Cryptocurrencies don’t need someone to defend but still he creates a pretty positive environment around.
Elon creates hype and that’s very important since we’re still in the relatively early stages of crypto adoption.
>Elon is hated because he stopped accepting bitcoin as a payment for Tesla
I think he’s hated for a little bit more than that lol
